In the viral video, the supporter who was seen with a load on her head said that they all voted for President Bola Tinubu in the last election because they thought he would help them, but now they are hungry. The woman said that she had to walk a long distance with the load on her head because she did not have money for transport fare.
She said, “President Bola Tinubu, we all voted for you. We thought you would assist us. We are hungry. You can see that I have a load on my head. I have trekked a long distance with it. The money is not enough for the fare to my destination. Please pity the poor/masses. The masses came out to vote for you. I voted for you so you could win. We are hungry.”
Another woman also lamented the hunger in the land and begged the President to do something about it before people die of hunger. She said that the prices of food items have skyrocketed, and urged the President not to allow the people suffer.
She said, “We are hungry. A tin of rice now sells for N1,200. A five-litre of vegetable oil is N7,000. Tinubu, is that good? Everything is expensive. We are hungry. Pity the poor. Have mercy on us, have mercy on us, so that we don’t die of hunger. Don’t let us suffer.”
In his reaction to the calls on the President from the women, Chidi Odinkalu said, “On your mandate we shall stand.”
