Mr Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun has appealed to President Bola Tinubu, to quickly address the growing hunger and economic hardship in the country.
Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, made the appeal while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo.
According to him, the current suffering and hardship Nigerians are passing through require faster and impactful approach.
He said that although there was no doubt that the President was working hard to ameliorate the suffering of the people, a faster approach was needed.
Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), noted that the economic hardship through the hike in the prices of foodstuff, petrol, electricity and cooking gas, among others was becoming unbearable.

He said the recent increment in the fuel pump price would no doubt worsen the hardship the masses are currently going through.
“Nigerians are hopeful that there will be a turnaround in the country but measures to achieve this must be accelerated.
“There is no doubt that the President is doing everything humanly possible to ameliorate the suffering of the masses but a faster approach must be considered.
“The President should ensure that every bureaucratic bottleneck that is impeding the swift implementation of policies that will put smiles on the faces of the masses is removed.
“The economic suffering the masses are currently going through is becoming unbearable and the President must act fast. Nigerians are hungry,” he said.
