The Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said that President Bola Tinubu drives around Abuja at night just to know what is happening.
According to Kalu, Tinubu, who he described as a street person, is aware of the country’s fluttering economy.
Tinubu moves at night to feel the pulse of the people and is taking steps to address the challenges facing Nigeria, according to the lawmaker.
He stated this on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today, insisting the President goes around with one or two cars to see tbings for himself.
“The president himself knows that Nigerians are suffering and hungry. He is a street person; he knows the street very well,” the former Abia State Governor said.
“The president some nights uses his car to go around and know what is happening in Abuja here.
“The president goes around with one or two cars and sees what is happening. He is not a president that is locked up in the room.”
DAILY POST reeports that the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS’ recent report says that Nigeria’s inflation figures have hit 32.7 per cent in September 2024.
It is no longer news that the removal of the fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira by the current administration further worsened the already excruciating hardship in the land.
The cost of basic items has moved beyond the reach of millions of Nigerians.
