"Nigerians Voted For Change, Now Suffer And Stop Complaining" – Fasheun

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
 . of concern to the president and his team.”
