Oodua People’s Congress(Reformed) has called on President Bola Tinubu to ensure his administration’s plans and programmes to cushion the effect of the current harsh economic weather cover every segment of Nigeria’s populace and not only the government workers.

The President of the group, Dare Adesope, raised this concern in a statement on Monday, saying the daily increase in prices of goods and services particularly due to the high cost of fuel occasioned by the recent removal of fuel subsidy by the Federal Government is taking a huge toll on finances of most Nigerians.

According to him, even though almost every Nigerian is feeling this raging heat, the unemployed, petty traders and artisans are most affected.

The unemployed, who are very many and all over the place nationwide, for example, Adesope pointed out, are finding it extremely difficult to feed let alone have access to good cloth and shelter which are basic needs.

“Some of them are even family men and women,” he added

Adesope therefore said government should ensure that its palliative programmes to relief people from the economic hardship factor in all Nigerians and not only government workers.
He said many people had already lost hope and given up on Nigeria before the new administration came on board but now with the current administration have a fresh hope for a new Nigeria.

He said he is particularly confident in the leadership of President Tinubu to turn Nigeria fortune around to better the lots of downtrodden Nigerians.

He said he would be able to achieve the positive change if he remains focus on his campaign promises and be proactive, fair and upheld the law of equity.

Similarly, Adesope urged the president not to delay in the creation of community policing that would incorporate credible indigenous vigilance organisations such as OPC Reformed and government law enforcement agencies.

He said real economic growth and development could only take place in a society where lives and property of citizens are secured.
