The Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Tanko Yunusa, has expressed concern over the level of poverty in Nigeria, criticizing the current administration for not doing enough to alleviate the hardship faced by ordinary Nigerians.
Yunusa stated this on ‘Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television.
He slammed the All Progressives Congress-led federal government for not fulfilling its campaign promises, particularly with regards to creating jobs and improving the standard of living for Nigerians.
“You know, the manifesto of a political party is a social contract in which you sign with the people, because that is what you canvas to the people,” Yunusa said.
The APC-led government had promised to create 3 million new jobs per year, but Yunusa questioned whether Nigerians have seen any tangible results from these promises.
“I don’t know how Nigerians will manage to do Sallah,” Yunusa said, noting that the country is witnessing a high level of poverty, with the northern part of the country being the worst hit.
Yunusa’s comments highlight the growing concerns about the economic situation in Nigeria and the struggles faced by many Nigerians.
