Hardship: You’ve to do more, it’s not easy for Nigerians – Fayose to Tinubu
A former governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose, has told President Bola Tinubu he needs to do more to end the sufferings of Nigerians.
Fayose said the Tinubu administration could be doing its best to make things better for Nigerians, but added that whatever it is doing is not enough.
He acknowledged that Nigerians are facing a hard time economically but believes that it would not take much time before things begin to look better again.
“It’s not been too easy, that is the truth for Nigerians, but I think that this government naturally, is given their best but their best still needs to be upped,” the former Governor told Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
“If you say they need time, people will begin to question to say, what time do they need? Yes, I agree that it has not been too easy for Nigerians, but I know that with little time things could get better; that is what I can say,” he stated.
Experts believe that the monetary policy of the Tinubu administration coupled with inflation and hike in the pump price of fuel have further thrown citizens into hardship.

Taskforce intercepts charcoal laden trucks in Taraba
Taraba State Special Taskforce Committee on Environmental Protection, Public Safety, and Prohibition of Deforestation has again intercepted trucks loaded with charcoals.
The trucks, which were intercepted on Monday night, were said to be en route to an unknown destination.
He also announced that two soldiers escorting the trucks conveying the prohibited substance were arrested by the taskforce.
Answering questions from journalists, the chairman of the taskforce, retired general Jeremiah Aliyu Faransa, revealed that he initiated the patrol himself, prompted by concerns over ongoing violations of Governor Agbu Kefas’ executive order suspending certain activities in the state.
“I decided to go out for a patrol last night with only my backman, given the disregard for the governor’s directives.
During the patrol, I stopped the trucks I found suspicious and, upon inspection, discovered they were loaded with charcoal and escorted by two military personnel. I immediately impounded the vehicles,” Faransa stated.
The retired general expressed confusion over continued illegal activities in the state despite the governor’s order, which includes a suspension of mining and other unauthorized operations.
He emphasized that the military personnel involved would be handed over to the 6 Brigade of the Nigerian Army for further investigation.
Urging residents to comply with the law and respect the authorities, patrols, as announced by him, would be intensified across strategic locations in the state.
