Hardship: Fayose urges Tinubu to do more

While acknowledging that Nigerians are currently facing economic hardship, Fayose believes that it would not take much time before things begin to look better again under Tinubu's government.

Fayose, however, in a Channels Television’s Sunday Politics interview, noted that the current situation in the country is caused by a long time damage in the economy that won’t be repaired overnight.

He therefore urged President Tinubu

“It’s not been too easy, that is the truth for Nigerians, but I think that this government naturally, is giving their best but their best still need to be upped,” Fayose said.“If you say they need time, people will begin to question to say, what time do they need? Yes, I agree that it has not been too easy for Nigerians, but I know that with little time things could get better; that is what I can say.”

Fayose made this assertion as Nigerians lament worsening hunger, soaring cost of transportation, days after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) raised the pump price of fuel.

Reports show that petrol, which previously sold for N897 per litre in Abuja, now retails at N1,030 per litre.
