Former Abia Governor, Sen . Orji Uzor–Kalu has said President Bola Tinubu is aware of the current hunger in the country and was taking bold decisions to reverse it.
Uzor–Kalu made the disclosure on Thursday at Ekoli, Edda Local Government Area of Ebonyi during a New Year visit to his ‘political son’ Chief Stanley Okoro-Emegha, who is the state’s All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman.
The Senator said that Tinubu is working hard to reverse the situation and urged Nigerians to be patient with him.
“The president is currently taking hard decisions centered on economic development.
“The president is very bold to take such hard decisions.
“I might not be bold enough to take such decisions if I was the president as he is telling Nigerians that we should start afresh,” he said.
