A former National Vice Chairman, North West, of the All Progressives Congress, APC,Salihu Moh. Lukman, has begged President Bola Tinubu to be responsive in tackling the growing hunger and economic hardship facing Nigerians.

The APC chieftain made the appeal in an article he wrote on Sunday, which was titled: “Heartbreaking Reflections.”

In the article, Lukman noted that Nigerians are becoming impoverished and can no longer afford basic medications.

The statement also spotlighted the APC-led ruling government’s inability to fulfil its campaign promises, describing it as becoming insensitive to the plight of the citizens.

Blaming the current situation of the country on the policies made by the Tinubu-led administration, Lukman enjoined the President to be responsive and reevaluate some of the policy decisions he took in the last 10 months, but which have brought untold hardship on Nigerians.

He said in the article published in full elsewhere on this website: “President Asiwaju Tinubu, APC leaders and Nigerian politicians can do better.

“How can anyone with the faintest of conscience live a normal life with a reality whereby the same citizens who elected them as leaders are impoverished by decisions we took as a ruling party?

“Is President Asiwaju Tinubu at all aware that the majority of our citizens, including relatively high-income earners cannot afford medication when they are sick?

“The belief of many of us, and indeed mos Nigerians, is that President Asiwaju Tinubu is a responsive politician who will not recklessly take any decision without weighing its consequences on the lives of citizens.

“Being human, our expectation is that, if decisions are taken with grave consequences such as withdrawal of subsidy and floating the exchange rate, being the responsive leader he is.

“It is our expectation he will quickly review and recalibrate such decisions with the overall objective of protecting the welfare of citizens. That is what progressive politics is all about.

“May God Almighty touch the heart of President Asiwaju Tinubu and all APC leaders, and indeed all Nigerian politicians, to understand that millions of Nigerians are confronted with life threatening reality today.

“Just like we asked for the votes of citizens during elections, citizens are asking leaders, especially President Asiwaju Tinubu, to be responsive to today’s reality.”
