Obaseki To Tinubu: “You Have Subjected Nigerians To Difficult Living Conditions In 1 Year”

Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state has blamed the federal government for the economic hardship in the country.

The Edo helmsman made the  remark on Sunday, saying his government is seriously working to ameliorate the sufferings.

The governor spoke amidst the ongoing hunger protest in the country, as Nigerians demand action on the part of the federal government to end the hardship, blamed on the harsh policies introduced by President Tinubu within one year in office.

President Tinubu had, in a nationwide broadcast on Sunday, appealed to Nigerians to calm down as his administration is already addressing the problems.

Speaking yesterday, Obaseki said the federal government should take the responsibility for impeverishing Nigerians within one year that Tinubu came to power.

He said the economic policies introduced by the president has not helped the country, rather they have made more Nigerians poor since Tinubu came to office on may 29, 2023.

According to Obaseki, his government has taken the bull by the horns by chunning out programes, such as, the increase in  the minimum wage, free transportation and feeding to assist the people of the state in the face of the current hardship in the country.

President Tinubu, according to his supporters, put the 36 state governors on the spot after claiming in his nationwide address that they have received N570 billion intervention funds from his government.

Where’s the money, Nigerians who are calling on the governors to account for the fund, said.
