Tinubu Some Nights Uses His Car to go Around To See How Nigerians Are Suffering — Senator Orji Kalu

The lawmaker and a chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress disclosed this on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.

The senator representing Abia North Senatorial District, Orji Kalu has claimed that President Bola Tinubu used to move around the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja to monitor the sufferings Nigerians are currently facing.

The lawmaker and a chieftain of the ruling All Progressive Congress disclosed this on Thursday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.

“The president himself knows that Nigerians are suffering and hungry. He is a street person; he knows the street very well,” Senator Kalu said.

He continued: “The president some nights uses his car to go around and know what is happening in Abuja here.”

This is coming barely two days after the country’s Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima admitted that some of the policies the government implemented so far had caused Nigerians pain, but he and his principal, President Bola Tinubu, had no options.

The Vice President had ++said this in Abuja during the 30th anniversary of the Nigerian Economic Summit while defending the current administration’s economic policies and highlighting steps taken by the government to improve the economy.

“Some of the policy decisions, the policy options available are painful, but they are almost inevitable,” Shettima had said.

He continued: “My heart and the heart of President Bola Tinubu go to the Nigerian people. We empathise with what the poor and the young are going through in the Nigerian nation but we have no option.

“Some of these decisions are unpopular but the truth is most often the truth that men prepare not to hear.”
