Fuel hike: Don’t worsen our pains, Yoruba Elders tell Tinubu

 

The Yoruba Council of Elders, YCE, has told President Bola Tinubu not to further worsen the hardship and pains Nigerians have been going through with the petrol price hike.

 

In a statement by its General Secretary, Oladipo Oyewole, YCE noted that “there is, presently, a lot of suffering in the land.”

“The YCE remains hopeful that Nigeria will have a turnaround. However, going by scanty information available on government pursuits and activities, there is, presently, a lot of suffering in the land. Be that as it may, we of YCE stand on our strong position that the interest of the masses to live a good life should be given full attention.

Without regular supply of electricity and with the official announcement of an increase in the price of Petroleum Products (PMS), the current hardship cannot but be increased in daily living by Nigerians. The Federal Government ought to immediately pursue every avenue to make available to our people, the dividends of democracy. Not through the distribution of palliatives (that does not seem to filter to the bottom) but by putting in place avenues to enhance proper/quality living through effective governance administration.

Every Nigerian should be entitled to enjoy our common resources. Indeed, Nigerians are suffering deeply at this time, no light, no fuel, no food. Mr President should, without delay, revisit his drawing board to attend to the short-term needs of Nigerians (the immediate needs of the people) whilst pursuing the long-term vision of making Nigeria a better place for growth and development

As Elders, YCE wants immediate succour for the people to boost the welfare of Nigerians so that all can live in comfort and harmony

As far as this Elders Council is concerned a lot of administrative work by the government is (absolutely) required for the masses of this country to live, stay alive as respectable and responsible people. The state of this nation today is a pill that has a bitter taste.

The administration of President Bola Tinubu should do something quickly to ensure proper steering of its intentions to establish and install better governance in Nigeria.

Infact, the Presidency should do all possible to alleviate the suffering of all Nigerians immediately and without delay.”
