Residents of Lagos Island and traders at the popular Idumota market have decried the increasing hunger and desperation inflicted on them by the President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
The residents were seen in a trending video telling President Tinubu in Yoruba language that they are hungry – “Ebi npa wa oo”.
Filed on both sides of the road as seen in the video as the President convoy passed through the ever-busy market, the traders didn’t hail him.
They instead kept talking of their pains, which they accused his administration of inflicting on them by bad policies that didn’t factor the poor and working class in the country.
President Bola Tinubu arrived in Lagos from Abuja on Thursday before the last Christmas celebrations.
He arrived at the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ikeja, at 03.55 p.m. local time in Nigeria’s Presidential Jet NAF 001.
The president was welcomed by a crowd of supporters, including Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State; his deputy, Obafemi Hamzat; Secretary to the Lagos State Government, Abimbola Salu-Hundeyin; Head of Service, Olabode Agoro and Chief of Staff, Tayo Ayinde, among others.
