Amid rising inflation and cost of living, Senator Ahmad Lawan, the former president of the Senate, has expressed support for President Bola Amed Tinubu’s led federal government.
Senator Lawan, in a statement signed by Dr. Ezrel Tabiowo, his media adviser, on Monday, July 15, denied criticism of the current administration.
Lawan, representing the Yobe North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, debunked the reports linking him to strongly critiquing Tinubu’s government.
Nasarawa reporters claimed Lawan had said, âNobody is criticizing Tinubu because he is Yoruba, we all know his policies caused hunger and unbearable hardships.â
Reacting, the senator strongly condemned the report, describing it as a false and malicious.
Senator Lawan, however, expressed support for Tinubu’s administration and noted that he “recognizes and appreciates the efforts of the administration to tackle the myriad of issues confronting our country.”
Meanwhile, TimesNow.com.ng reported that the Tinubu-led federal government has been urged to combat hunger caused by food scarcity in the country.
Members of the Nigerian Senate said Tinubu’s government can no longer take people for granted for too long.
Federal lawmakers said it was time for the government to take every possible action to address the crisis.
