The Yoruba Council of Elders, YCE, has called on President Bola Tinubu to tackle the current hardship bedeviling the country, saying Nigerians are suffering.
This is contained in a statement by its General Secretary, Chief Oladipo Oyewole.
The statement said though it was hopeful that there will be positive turnaround in the country, there is, presently, a lot of suffering in the land.
However, the Council said going by scanty information available on Government pursuits and activities, there is presently a lot of suffering in the land, adding that the interest of the masses to live a good life should be given full attention.
The group urged the Federal Government to immediately pursue every avenue to make available to the people the dividends of democracy, stressing that every Nigerian should be entitled to enjoy the nation’s common resources.
“Indeed, Nigerians are suffering deeply at this time, no light, no fuel, no food.
“Mr. President should, without delay, revisit his drawing board to attend to the short term needs of Nigerians (the immediate needs of the people) whilst pursuing the long term vision of making Nigeria a better place for growth and for development
