Soludo, others supporting Tinubu's re-election can't really feel pains of Nigerians – Umeh

Umeh, in an interview with journalists on the weekend, singled out the Governor of Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, who has been filled with reward for Tinubu and what he known as a rising economic system below his administration.

Addressing Soludo’s declare that the economic system is far more healthy, Umeh stated: “This is election time, so people will speak so glowingly of any positions they have taken. They say the taste of the pudding is in the eating. You can’t tell a blind man that there is salt in the food; he already knows.

“All these elaborations in regards to the economic system doing effectively; it is extremely exhausting to persuade anybody that Nigeria is doing higher immediately, as a result of the price of residing has turn out to be insufferable. The residents are groaning.

“It would have been a beautiful story if you said you are putting reforms in place and the economy is healthy and the people are feeling it and enjoying it. The number of stroke patients will shock you if documented. People are dying every day, and they are not dying because things are good; they are dying because challenges are overwhelming them.”

He stated Soludo can’t be blamed for his stance as a result of he has the frequent purse of the individuals of Anambra State in his pocket and can’t really feel what Nigerians really feel below the Tinubu regime, which makes them so desperate to vote him out.

“He is a governor, and he has the resources of the state at his disposal, so he doesn’t know what the ordinary people are going through. People are going through hardship; petrol is N1,410 and diesel is almost N2,000. How can these things be sustained this way, and you say the economy is doing well?

“A constructive reform retains prices low. If, for instance, when the president eliminated the subsidy and all of the financial savings created from that subsidy elimination, they made insurance policies that may assist us have refined merchandise in Nigeria, that may have been honest. If they’d arrange a refinery with all the cash they’ve borrowed, over $100billion, they’d have put up a model new refinery in three years, and the product can be accessible, and also you would not must proceed importing.

“At the level where we are now, there is no hope that petroleum products will come down any day because there is nothing put in place to guarantee it would. The government is just confused. The other time, they announced an N30 reduction, and it was sold only at NNPC filling stations and was for just 30 days. What impact did that policy make? It was not meant to solve any problem,” Umeh stated.
