Peter Obi, a member of the African Democratic Congress ADC and former presidential candidate for the Labour Party LP in the 2023 election, has given his take on the hardships in the Nigerian economy.
Several Nigerians have taken to the streets to express their grievances regarding the hike in the prices of commodities and the rising level of inflation, which was said to have followed the removal of the fuel subsidy by the current government led by Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
