Hardship: Be More Sensitive, There Is Hunger, Insecurity – Shettima To Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu-led government has been urged to be more sensitive to the plight of Nigerians and introduce favorable policies.

The national president of Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, Comrade Yerima Shettima, made the appeal in an interview with Sun, argued that some of the policies of the present administration do not give hope to the common Nigerians.

According to him, “There is nothing bad in dropping a policy that does not give hope to the people.”

“They should come up with policies that will allow Nigerians to breathe”.

Shettima further said, “that an economic policy has worked somewhere successfully does not mean it must work here in Nigeria. So, the government must be very sensitive concerning the policy models they import into our situation.

“This country is hugely blessed and there is no reason for Nigerians to be in this mess if the government decides to be more sensitive to the plight of the people. Yes, there is hunger, there is insecurity and Nigerians want to see gradual progress taking place.

“Yes, the time may still be too short for an objective assessment of this government, yet something better than what Nigerians are experiencing is possible.

“So, the onus is still on the government to raise the leadership bar that will inspire hope in the people.”

He, however, blamed the current economic woes on the immediate past government led by Mohammed Buhari, saying it would take years to correct their errors.

“The reality,, as I have sai,d, is that the government cannot reverse the damage of the Buhari regime as easily as most Nigerians think.

“They cannot even reverse all the mess in four years, but Nigerians should begin to see conscious relief, improvement, and the government coming up with policies that give hope,” he added.
