FILE: Tinubu meet with Orji Kalu in Abuja
The Senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said President Bola Tinubu moves around the Federal Capital Territory most nights to feel the pulse of the citizens.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Kalu said the president is aware of the pains and hardships Nigerians are facing and is taking bold steps to address the dwindling economy.
He said, “The President himself knows that Nigerians are suffering and hungry. He is a street person; he knows the street very well. The president some nights uses his car to go around and know what is happening in Abuja here.”
On the economic hardship in the country, the lawmaker stated that it is not peculiar to Nigeria as the impact of COVID-19 is still affecting economies globally.
Kalu added that the only reason some countries are no longer feeling the COVID-19 impact the way Nigeria is feeling it is because they have built a robust economy and have palliative for the citizens and business owners.
