- George who stated that Nigerians are hungry and angry, admonished Tinubu to end the suffering caused by his anti-people policies.
Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, says the widespread hardship and suffering that envelope Nigeria are spurred by President Bola Tinubu policies.
George who stated that Nigerians are hungry and angry, admonished Tinubu to end the suffering caused by his anti-people policies.
He issued the admonition while speaking on the state of the nation at a press conference in Lagos on Friday.
George also voiced his concern regarding the seismic shift in political dynamics in Francophone countries, saying developments in these neighbouring nations portends danger for Nigeria.
He said: “My message to Tinubu is very clear: Nigerians are hungry and angry. This is the time, as the Commander in Chief and the Chief Driver of the economy, to do something about the economic malaise in our country. You must alleviate the suffering of the people now.
“There is no separate market for APC and PDP members. All Nigerians go to the same market. Everybody is feeling the anti-people policies of this government. Bola Tinubu must pause today and reflect: are people benefiting from the policies of my administration?
“When he came in 2023, a litre of petrol was less than N200 and in the exchange rate market, Naira was less than N800 to a dollar. What do we have today? What exactly is the economic policy of this administration? President Tinubu, Nigerians demand a quick answer to this important question.
“Finally, my concern is this: What will happen to our country if this wind of the New World Order blows across our Nation.
“With the Francophone countries surrounding us with political instability and a big quarrel with France, their colonial master, are we ready to remain stable and be strong? Let’s start this discussion now as a stitch in time saves nine.”
