Elder statesman, and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Ebenezer Babatope has described the suffering of Nigerians under the leader of President Muhammadu Buhari-led government as very unbearable.
Babatope who spoke with Vanguard said, although, the APC-led government was trying in its fight against corruption, it has failed woefully to keep its campaign promises.
Chief Babatope said Buhari had shown himself to be a man of probity and a man of integrity, but that he should change his style so that Nigerians will stop suffering the way they were suffering now.
According to him, “This kind of suffering is a different one because every Nigerian is affected. They are asking us to pay N145 to buy a litre of petroleum, how many Nigerians can afford that? I agree with him on the removal of the oil subsidy; it is good and courageous for him to have done that. But to buy petrol for N145 is a crime against humanity and nobody will support that.”
