Abdulsalami said the present hardship was getting out of control as people cannot afford three square meals.
He stated this made when he received the leadership of Campaign for Democracy and Human Rights in his hilltop residence in Minna, Niger state on Tuesday, September 17, Vanguard reports.
“Everybody is crying about this hardship and it seems to be getting out of control.
”People cannot afford three square meals; the issue of transportation, the hike in fuel, the hike in school fees for the children, and the lack of funds in everybody’s pocket is making life difficult for everybody.”
The group led by Comrade Abdullahi Mohammed Jabi urged General Abdusalami to prevail on Tinubu to remedy the situation.
The former army general said he has not stopped giving useful advice on the way out of the current hardship.
As reported by ThisDay, he said palliatives were not the answer to the high prices of food and other items in the country.
“The answer is the need for the government to flood and saturate the communities with food.
”Let the government buy food and sell it at lesser prices, so people can buy the food items of their choice, depending on their income.
“We have passed these recommendations to the government and we hope they will implement it.”
