Prioritize citizens’ welfare in your policies – PRP urges Tinubu
The People’s Redemption Party, PRP, has called on President Bola Tinubu to review his policies and implement a governance framework that prioritizes the welfare of citizens.
The National Chairman of the party, Falalu Bello, made this call in a statement on Tuesday, charging the President to embrace homegrown policies that reflect the realities of the people rather than succumbing to externally imposed, anti-people measures that stifle progress.
Bello, who decried the twin policies of currency devaluation and removal of subsidies, said they have precipitated significant hardships for the Nigerian population.
He frowned at Vice President Kashim Shettima’s statement that there are no alternatives to the harmful policies.
“Vice President Shetima’s assertion that there are no alternatives to these harmful policies stands in stark contradiction to the basic tenets of economics, which advocate for the exploration of alternatives in addressing socio-economic challenges.
“Such statements, especially from someone of his status in the current administration, are not only misleading but also indicative of a severe disconnect from the realities faced by ordinary Nigerians today.
“The population has been urged to endure these difficult times with the promise of relief on the horizon. However, we see no tangible evidence of this assurance in the actions of President Tinubu, his cabinet, or the broader government apparatus. Instead, we witness a continuation of profligate lifestyles, excessive spending, and the dissemination of dubious economic statistics that do little to alleviate the suffering of the Nigerian populace,” he stated.
He asked Tinubu to reassess the current electricity tariff regime to ensure a fair system that protects the poor and preserves the middle class from further economic disintegration.
The PRP chair, who urged the President to move beyond mere rhetoric in advancing the Compressed Natural Gas initiative to offer a sustainable energy solution, also charged him to reduce borrowing rates.
“It is imperative that we act swiftly. Our nation is at a critical juncture, with time running out for meaningful intervention.
“Mr. President, it is time to act decisively for the sake of the nation’s future. Let us rescue our people from the grip of despair so that you may indeed dance before the music comes to an end,” he added.
