Saraki Tells Buhari: Our People Are Suffering.
Senate President Bukola Saraki has told President Muhammadu Buhari that there is much suffering across the country and that he should make solving the current economic hardship his priority.
He spoke on Wednesday at the 2017 Appropriation Bill presentation by the president.
According to Saraki, nothing else mattered to the suffering Nigerians who had put their fates in the hands of those currently in government than justifying the confidence reposed in them.
“We cannot work magic, we must continue to work the talk clock. Our people must see that the singular preoccupation of government is to search for solution for the current economic hardship and the commitment to ease their burden. They don’t want to know what political party you belong or the language you speak or the God you worship.
“They have trusted their fate in our hands and they need us now more than ever before to justify that trust they have imposed on us. The people of Nigeria will pardon us if we do something wrong but they will not forgive us if we do nothing.
“And that is why Mr. President with the two chambers have taken their position, whatever may be our differences, our opinion on the issues of the economy, we will work with one common purpose for this reason."

His words, “Mr. President, the feedback we get from our visits to our constituencies is that there is hardship in the land.
We can see it. We can feel it. This recession therefore commands all of us as government to greater essence of urgency.
