The Interim National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement, Tanko Yunusa, has decried the level of poverty in Nigeria.
This was as he slammed the current administration for not doing anything to alleviate the hardship ordinary Nigerians go through on a daily basis.
Yunusa stated this on ‘Morning Brief’, a programme on Channels Television.
He criticised the All Progressives Congress, APC-led federal government for not fulfilling its campaign promises.
“You know, the manifesto of a political party is a social contract in which you sign with the people, because that is what you canvas to the people. They said they have a decent life for every Nigerian. A decent life for every Nigerian at the moment? I cannot quantify that particular decent life at the moment.
“They said they have 3 million new jobs a year. This is two years now. That means you will have had 6 million. Probably Nigerians will be able to assess whether we have 6 million jobs being created.
”I don’t know how Nigerians will manage to do Sallah. We are witnessing a high level of poverty rate. Interestingly, the northern part of this country is the worst hit,” Yunusa said.
