Former governor of Abia State and member representing Abia North in the National Assembly, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has said President Bola Tinubu is fully aware that Nigerians are experiencing economic hardship.
He said this while speaking on Channels Television on Thursday.
Kalu said that the president is taking decisive measures to address the bad economy.
He said, “The President himself knows that Nigerians are suffering and hungry. He is a street person; he knows the street very well. The president some nights uses his car to go around and know what is happening in Abuja here.”
Speaking on the issue of economic hardship in the country, the business mogul noted that it is not peculiar to Nigeria as the impact of COVID-19 is still affecting economies globally.
He added that the only reason some countries are no longer feeling the COVID-19 impact the way Nigeria is feeling it is because they have built a robust economy and have palliative for the citizens and business owners.
