Tinubu’s approach to governance worsening plights of Nigerians – Jimi Agbaje

 A former governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Lagos, Jimi Agbaje, says President Bola Tinubu’s approach to
solving economic hardship bedevilling the country has further worsened the
plights of Nigerians

 

Agbaje said while President Bola Tinubu is trying to find
solutions to the problems of the economy, his approach has worsened the plight
of Nigerians.

 

According to TheCable, Agbaje believes “There is a limit to
how much people can endure. People have accepted the principle that there is no
gain without pain but there is a limit to the pain. The truth is that there is
an elastic limit,”

 

“Government at all levels must ease the pain of the people
while trying to make lasting corrections to the economy. I am not sure that the
people can endure for that much longer.”

 

Agbaje implored government officials to make sacrifices by
cutting down on the cost of governance while also ensuring that the palliatives
provided get to the most vulnerable in society.

 

“The palliatives they are giving out must reach the
vulnerable. It must cut across in a way that the people feel some measure of
relief. Also, our leaders must lead by example. You cannot ask people to make
sacrifice while you are not showing that measure of sacrifice,” he said.

 

“The issue is not whether he (Tinubu) has performed above or
below expectations. The issue is that there is a problem. There were fundamental
problems to the economy. He is trying to address it but the reality is that in
addressing it, it is causing a lot of hardship. That hardship needs to be
ameliorated.

 

“Whatever decisions have been taken, I know we will not get
immediate results. It is going to be medium and long-term. But the people have
to be alive to enjoy the medium and long term. I think that is what is missing
at this point in time. People cannot bear it much longer
