THE Chairman, Senate Committee on Privatization, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu, APC Representing Abia North Senatorial District has raised the alarm that the people of Nigeria are suffering, there is hardship in the land and has called on President Bola Tinubu as a matter of urgency, provide succour for the people.
Answering questions from Journalists on Tuesday, the former Abia State governor said, “The Hardship is true, people are suffering. We have hundreds of thousands of workers, we have about 10,000 workers in our group that we run. We need to pay those salaries. If I fly at any time, buying fuel and maintaining the private plane takes almost $10,000, $20,000.
“Even in my village, everywhere I go, companies everybody, there is hardship, but I appeal to the federal government, the President to know how he can bring succour quickly to the people of Nigeria. He has to do something not yesterday, but today. He must do something like yesterday because the condition of the Nigerian people is not too good. I believe that no president in the world elected by people would want his people to suffer.
“We feel that the reformation going on now has not happened in the last 60 years, no president dared to do what President Tinubu is doing now. It is about courage. The man is very courageous. Possibly if I’m president what he is doing now to reform the economy, I won’t do it, I might come slowly”
