As Nigerians marked Palm Sunday, the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, issued a stern warning to the nation's leaders to take immediate action to alleviate the economic hardship plaguing the country.
The organisation's call to action comes as the economic situation continues to worsen, with many Nigerians struggling to make ends meet.
In a statement, CAN urged leaders at all levels to demonstrate empathy and take concrete steps to ease the suffering of citizens. The organisation noted that the current economic hardship was not only affecting the poor but also the middle class, who were finding it increasingly difficult to cope.
The Christian body also reminded leaders of their responsibility to protect the welfare of citizens and to ensure that the nation's resources are used for the benefit of all.
The Christian Association of Nigeria's call to action is a stark reminder of the economic hardship that has become a hallmark of the current administration. President Muhammadu Buhari and his team must take urgent steps to address the crisis, which is affecting millions of Nigerians. The fact that the middle class is now struggling to cope is a clear indication that the economic policies are failing. The President's promise to make life easier for Nigerians has turned out to be nothing but an empty promise. It's time for the President to take concrete action to ease the suffering of citizens and ensure that the nation's resources are used for the benefit of all.
