Socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has slammed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s lack of empathy for the hardship confronting Nigerians amid his ‘inhuman’ economic policies.
This was contained in a communique issued by the group’s Deputy Leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan and Deputy Secretary-General, Alade Rotimi-John after Thyrsday’s meeting.
Afenifere lamented that the Tinubu sounded distant from the “pervasive hardship, unflagging insecurity and incapacitating hunger,” that Nigerians grappled with.
“Afenifere reviewed the unremitting distressing state of the nation’s social and economic situation under the President Bola Tinubu administration.
“Meeting observed that the distressful condition of the country is exemplified in pervasive hardship, unflagging insecurity and incapacitating hunger.
“The meeting noted the absence of official empathy respecting the people’s agonising situation.
“Meeting has instead observed an unwearying policy enunciation ostensibly aimed at compounding the woes of the people, e.g. the unabating fuel price hike.
“Meeting further observed the cavalier conduct of state affairs in, for instance, the absence of any coherent or unequivocal programme on the part of the government and its party.”
