Elder statesman, Bode George, has stated that Tinubu’s media chat on Monday was not a good way to end the year.
While making references to the recent food queue stampedes that claimed 67 lives in Nigeria last week, George lamented exacerbating hunger ravaging the country.
He stressed that the President, through his statements, is unfeeling to the plight of suffering Nigerians.
George who spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday, said, “there is hunger and anger in the land” yet the President continues to insist that his reforms are working while many Nigerians are becoming poorer by the day and businesses are collapsing.
He noted that Tinubu’s first media chat lacks empathy and humanity.
“We are not feeling it, it is going worse by the day,” George said on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday. “Hunger doesn’t believe in your talk, you gotta be real.”
“I’m surprised that there is no iota of somberness and humanity in the discussion. Why do you have a discussion in the first instance?” he quipped.
George, who insisted that the price of petrol be reduced, charged the Tinubu administration to offer immediate palliatives to hungry Nigerians whom he claimed have been impoverished by the policies of the current administration.
