He said that when people say there is hunger in the country, they should be able to mention what the solution to hunger is. He said that they should not only be talking, but they should be able to proffer solutions to the problem.
He said, “What are they protesting about? Without the coming of President Tinubu, we would have had a failed country. Talk is cheap and a job is very easy when you are not the one doing it. When people say there is hunger, tell us the solution to the hunger. It is not just to be talking and talking.”
He said that the government cannot do everything for people, and urged the masses to improve their productivity. He said that no matter the amount of money the government gives to the citizens as palliative, if the people do not change their productivity level, there would be no results.
