“Be that as it may, we of YCE stand on our strong position that the interest of the masses to live a good life should be given full attention.
“Without regular supply of electricity and with the official announcement of an increase in the price of Petroleum Products (PMS), the current hardship cannot but be increased in daily living by Nigerians.
“The Federal Government ought to immediately pursue every avenue to make available to our people, the dividends of democracy.
“Not through the distribution of palliatives (that does not seem to filter to the bottom) but by putting in place avenues to enhance proper/quality living through effective governance administration.
“Every Nigerian should be entitled to enjoy our common resources
Indeed, Nigerians are suffering deeply at this time, no light, no fuel, no food.
“Mr President should, without delay, revisit his drawing board to attend to the short-term needs of Nigerians (the immediate needs of the people) whilst pursuing the long-term vision of making Nigeria a better place for growth and development
“As Elders, YCE wants immediate succour for the people to boost the welfare of Nigerians so that all can live in comfort and harmony.
