It’s unbearable – Shari’ah council blasts Tinubu over economic hardship in Nigeria
The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria has tackled President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the persistent economic hardship Nigerians are grappling with.
Sheikh AbdurRasheed Hadiyatullah, the President of the Council, disclosed this at a Conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
According to him, the suffering of Nigerians has heightened under Tinubu with the rising cost of food, goods and services nationwide.
“The suffering of Nigerians has escalated since President Tinubu assumed office.
“What used to cost N200 is now being sold at N2,000. Nigeria’s current state is marked by cash scarcity, unemployment, and economic challenges,” he said.
Headline and food inflation increased to 28.92 percent and 33.93 percent, respectively, in December 2023, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
