A Lagos-based socio-political activist and critic, Chief Adesunbo Onitiri, has asked the Federal Government to do something about the current economic hardship Nigerians are going through.
In a press statement in Lagos yesterday, Onitiri said this suffering must stop and the government must live up to expectations.
He frowned at the frequent travelling abroad of President Muhammadu Buhari when there are urgent salient national issues and concerns to be attended to.
He explained that the president should have attended to the issues of fuel scarcity, the ASUU strike, bad economy, unabated insecurity problems and several others confronting the nation before travelling abroad.
Although the issue of personal health is important, it should not look like a proverb that “Ciserio is partying when Rome is on fire,” Onitiri emphasised.
He said the current fuel scarcity in the country is totally unacceptable, because it “has almost crippled the economy and further impoverished our citizens.”
“Not only that, there is imminent world war knocking at our doors and thousands of our youths and other citizens are stranded in the Russia -Ukraine war zone.
“Ironically, some of them are refusing to come home. They prefer to die in Ukraine. This is the time Nigerians need the president to give us, succour,” he stressed.
