PDP Urges President Tinubu to Address Nationwide Protests and Economic Concerns
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has voiced significant concern regarding President Bola Tinubu’s continued silence in the face of widespread nationwide protests.
These demonstrations, driven by economic difficulties and escalating hunger, reflect a growing public frustration over governance issues.
The PDP has criticized President Tinubu for not addressing the urgent needs and demands of Nigerians as they rally for better governance, security, and welfare—essential functions of any government.
The party argues that this silence sends a troubling message and exacerbates public fears that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is disconnected from the realities faced by citizens and the deteriorating state of the nation.
In a statement issued on Saturday by Hon. Debo Ologunagba, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, the party urged President Tinubu to promptly address the nation and outline concrete measures to tackle pressing economic issues.
The PDP called for immediate action to reduce the price of petroleum products, stabilize the Naira, and ensure the prompt supply of food, among other critical reforms.
“The PDP insists that President Tinubu must address the nation without delay, detailing urgent steps to cut the cost of petroleum products, halt the decline of the Naira, and expedite the provision of essential food supplies.
These measures are crucial for revitalizing the productive sector, boosting employment, and restoring stability,” the statement emphasized.
The PDP also expressed alarm at the apparent insensitivity of the APC government, highlighting the violent responses from APC-controlled security agencies against unarmed protesters and the alleged involvement of APC-backed thugs in attacking innocent civilians.
The party called for an end to this silence, demanding that President Tinubu offer a public address to reassure citizens and take decisive action on critical issues, including reducing the price of petrol and food items.
They asserted that with effective management and investment, the cost of petrol in Nigeria should be capped at N200 per liter, especially with strategic enhancements in gas production.
Nigerians reacts to President Tinubu trip to UK and lament that the timing is just bad. The timing of the trip and the arising crises occurring in the country.
It can be noted that the President, his wife and some other officials followed him on the trip.
And the public has shouted that we need the officials here in the country in the crises, asking who will help to manage the state of things as they are all going at once.
People shared their displeasure with a large crowd following the president to another country and leaving Nigeria in this state.
