Hardship: Tinubu Policies Won’t Work – Senator
Neda Imasuen, the Senator representing Edo South in the National Assembly, has faulted the policies of President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
He also lampooned the President for his decisions to remove the petrol subsidy and unify forex windows.
Imasuen, of the Labour Party (LP), and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges, and Public Petitions, was a guest on Sunday’s edition of Inside Sources on Channels Television.
According to him, it is Nigerians, especially the middle class, that are paying too much of a price for Tinubu’s so-called reforms.
The lawmaker noted that the legislature can only support the executive and hope that their plan takes us to the destination.
The lawmaker, however, believes the situation at hand is not one for trading blame, but rather a time when people should sit down and seek solutions to the suffering of the masses.
“The steps that are being taken, I’m afraid that the suffering that Nigerians are going through right now is too much of a price to pay for it,” he said.
