A political scientist, Prof. Salisu Ogbo, has asked President Bola Tinubu to address the lingering hunger and perceived selective justice in the country.
Usman made the call in Lokoja during the inauguration of “Citizens Assembly” town hall meeting organised by the office of the senior special assistant to the president on community engagement, North Central, in collaboration with the National Orientation Agency (NOA).
Usman, who was the guest speaker at the event, commended President Tinubu, for taking frontal decisions and implementing several policies.
“However, the removal of fuel subsidy without putting a concrete template on ground is the area we have protracted and conflicting issues, and to me, that is what is bringing severe hunger to the people.
“Mr President, Nigerians are hungry, I must tell you the truth. Nigerians are also angry. So, the people are hungry and angry because hunger will automatically bring anger,” he said.
