Former Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, has urged President Bola Tinubu to listen to the cries of Nigerians amid the harsh socio-economic realities citizens have continued to grapple with.
Tambuwal made the call on Thursday during his visit to former President Olusegun Obasanjo, at his penthouse residence inside Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
The senator representing Sokoto South was said to have visited the former president to rejoice with him on his 87th birthday.
This was according to a statement issued by the former President’s media aide, Kehinde Akinyemi.
Tambuwal urged Nigerians not to lose hope as things would change for good.
While speaking on the state of the nation, the former governor said Nigerians must continue to pray and do the right thing, including those in government and followers.
He said, “My clarion call is to Mr. President as the situation is getting worse by the day. Mr President should listen to the cries of Nigerians, the country is going through hard times, and things have never been this bad.
“But he sought this job and he got it, so, he needs to rally and make sure that things are put in better shape for the progress of Nigeria.”
On his visit to the former President, the former governor said that he had always been part of the Obasanjo family and that coming to felicitate with him on his birthday was an annual thing.
“I came all the way to Abeokuta as I always do every year on Baba’s birthday. I pray with Baba for more good health and many more years of service to Nigeria and humanity.
“He has been an enigma, he has been a great leader and a source of inspiration and indeed Baba has been a great leader not only in Nigeria, West Africa and Africa but, globally too. He is an international statesman, and we pray to God to keep him in good health,” he said.
Speaking on his contributions so far on the floor of the National Assembly particularly, as they affect his constituency, the Sokoto South Senator, said that he would continue to give robust representation to his people.
He said some strategic road projects linking Zamfara and Kebbi states from his constituency have been included in the 2024 budget.
He also said bills that will ensure Nigerians become beneficiaries of affordable housing are in the pipeline.
