“NRM is the Party Nigerians have been waiting for, to rescue them from the hands of people that lacks fear of GOD, to rescue them from the hands of people that have no conscience, from people who could not give them security, electricity, affordable housing, good roads, affordable and quality education in our public schools, good health care system, among others.
“They have succeeded in making sure that common bread is no longer for the masses but for the Rich only, fish and meat are no longer for the masses, but for them and their families only,” he said.
Speaking on the insecurity, he explained that it is very difficult for the masses to travel by road because of the unchecked insecurity in every part of the country, and the cost of transportation, due to unstable PMS pump prices.
According to him,” Observing that 0.1 percent of the masses had started using flight for their journey as a result of these security challenges facing our road transportation system, they jacked up the cost of flight ticket so that the common man can face the challenges, this is the highest form of discriminations and inhumanity.
“The train system is no longer safe, judging by the series of attacks on the sector in recent time, most especially the ugly incidence on the Abuja –Kaduna corridor. The Party is using this medium to condole with all the families that lost their loved ones, and we also console the families that suffer any form of injury as we pray for the unconditional release of the kidnapped ones.
“Agricultural produce is no longer available, and the few available ones are not affordable due to the unchecked banditry attack on our farmers. All the funds released to boost the Agricultural system in the country could not reflect on our dining tables, as people are dying of hunger on daily basis,” he said
