The North-West youth wing of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed worry over the increasing cost of living, hunger, and insecurity in the country.
The group lamented the increasingly difficult economic situation in the region with a call on President Bola Tinubu and the APC to find ways of ameliorating the sufferings of the masses.
Chairman of the North-West APC Youths, Abdulhamid Mohammed, made the plea at a meeting in Kaduna to review the affairs of the party and the state of the nation
Mohammed urged the presidency to act fast before the hardship gets out of hand.
He noted that the cost of food items in the market is going beyond the reach of many.
The APC youths group, however, took a swipe at the opposition for criticising and blaming the present administration for the nation’s economic challenges.
The group argued that the hardship predates the APC-led government.
But the group asked the opposition to support President Tinubu’s administration in addressing the economic crisis, security, and other socio-economic issues confronting the nation.
It also called on the President and the ruling APC to carry the youths along in the governance of the country.
We are where we are today because of our religious belief and sentiments. Let us also consider the hardship and suffering as part of living for our religion. If we die as a result, aljana fridausi (heaven) shall be our reward.
