Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani has lamented that there is so much hunger and hardship in the country.
He said this on Wednesday while reacting to President Bola Tinubu’s Democracy Day speech.
Sani added that Nigeria’s democracy still has a long way to go.
He lamented that there is so much hunger and hardship in the country amid the Democracy Day celebration.
In his Democracy Day speech, Tinubu claimed that the reforms his government has initiated are intended to create a stronger, better foundation for future growth, assuring that there is no doubt the reforms have occasioned hardship.
Tinunu noted that the reforms are necessary repairs required to fix the economy over the long run so that everyone has access to economic opportunity, fair pay and compensation for his endeavour and labour.
“We shall soon send an executive bill to the National Assembly to enshrine what has been agreed upon as part of our law for the next five years or less,” Tinubu explained.
However, Shehu Sani on his X handle wrote, ”there is so much hardship and hunger in the land, the earlier the reforms bear fruit and end the aggravating poverty in the land the better, safer and more peaceful our country will become.
“We have come a long way, but we also have a long way to go. Democracy should not be a Government installed by the majority for the benefit of a minority. We should not despair to continue to work for a better country.”
