The founder of Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, Dr Fredrick Fasehun, has charged Nigerians to stop complaining about the present economic hardship in the country since it was them that voted for change.

Speaking in an interview with the Sun newspaper, he
enjoined Nigerians to accept their fate with equanimity and be ready to endure whatever comes
with their choice. Fasehun further stated that rather
than complain, they should pray for President
Muhammadu Buhari.

His words, “Nigerians voted for Buhari. They voted
for change. The hardship and suffering they are
going through now is part of that change. They
should not be complaining.

“Instead of complaining, they should be praying for
Buhari. Nigerians should pray for him, and for Buhari himself Nigerians were cheering him initially
but now they are getting despondent. Buhari should
not wait until Nigerians start jeering at him as a
result of failed promises.”

The OPC founder, who asserted that the Buhari administration was far from meeting his expectations, said, “Hardship and suffering have
increased. Many Nigerians today are hungry and
angry. Even now, the rich also cry. The bad economy
has worsened the situation with many Nigerians
finding it increasingly difficult to survive. The
situation can’t continue like this, government must
find a remedy.

“Power supply has not been encouraging. Many
industries are closing down while millions of jobs are being lost to erratic power supply.

“Many Nigerians that are self-employed including
artisans like welders, hair dressers and others who
depend on efficient power supply to sustain their
small scale ventures have been rendered jobless as a result of poor power supply. This has been a big
minus on the part of the administration. Increasing
unemployment and job losses occasioned by poor
power supply should be a source of concern to the
president and his team.”
