YCE Also Advised Tinubu Against Further Use Of Palliatives, Says It Does Not Get To The Targets, Common Nigerians.

Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE), a group of senior citizens from the Yoruba Nation, has advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to change his current strategy as most Nigerians are suffering so much under the weight of his government’s policies.

The elders advised that the President should first try to meet the short term needs of common citizens, who are currently facing severe hunger and hardship before pursuing long-term vision.

The Yoruba Elders gave this advice on Wednesday, in a statement through YCE Secretary General, Chief Oladipo Oyewole.

They said in the statement, noted that: “there is, presently, a lot of suffering in the land.”

The statement reads in part: “We of YCE stand on our strong position that the interest of the masses to live a good life should be given full attention.”

“Without regular supply of electricity and with the official announcement of increase in the price of petroleum products (PMS), the current hardship cannot but be increased in daily living by Nigerians.

The Federal Government ought to immediately pursue every avenue to make available to our people, the dividends of democracy. Not through distribution of palliatives (that does not seem to filter to the bottom) but by putting in place avenues to enhance proper and quality living through effective governance administration.”

“Every Nigerian should be entitled to enjoy our common resources. Indeed, Nigerians are suffering deeply at this time….. no light, no fuel, no food.”

“Mr. President should, without delay, revisit his drawing board to attend to the short term needs of Nigerians (the immediate needs of the people) whilst pursuing the long-term vision of making Nigeria a better place for growth and for development”.

“As Elders, we demand immediate succour for the people to boost the welfare of Nigerians so that all can live in comfort and harmony.

As far as this elders council is concerned, a lot of administrative work by Government is (absolutely) required for the masses of this country to live, stay alive as respectable and responsible people”.

“The Administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should do something quickly to ensure proper steering of its intentions to establish and install better governance in Nigeria. In fact, the Presidency should do all possible to alleviate the suffering of all Nigerians immediately and without delay,” says Yoruba Elders.
