The Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that Nigerians are not only suffering, but suffering a lot. He said the economic situation of the country has made life difficult for Nigerians, but that President Buhari is not to be at fault. He however, said the President should focus more on alleviating the sufferings of the masses.
He said, "We cannot deny that people are not just suffering, but suffering a lot. But who is to blame? What is the reason for the suffering? For me, it is two things. One, APC Government met a near comatose destroyed economy. I don’t care what anybody says.
"The second reason is what’s going on across the globe. Nigeria only makes money from petrol. Petrol price fell from $100 per barrel to $30. If you are a farmer and one year there is natural plight which destroys your crop, not by your mistake. That’s what happens in relation to the crude oil price.
"Your children are going to make an incredible adjustment. Buhari came and met $30 per barrel and manage it. People are suffering, It is terrible.
"The President however, must not allow himself be distracted, he should take necessary measures to ease the sufferings of the masses. Doing so would boost their confidence that this government means well and is out to improve their lives," he said.
