As Nigerians continue to lament the rising cost of living and hunger, former President Muhammadu Buhari says he is happy with President Bola Tinubu’s performance.

The former president, in a statement by Stanley Nkwocha, the spokesperson for Vice-President Kashim Shettima, who visited Buhari in Daura, Katsina, on Friday, was quoted to have said:-

“I am very pleased that they are able to stabilize the situation and continue to really get concerned about Nigerians. I am very happy about their performance”.

Buhari’s commendation of the current administration comes as protests have continued across Nigeria over the high cost of living and food prices.

In the face of Nigeria’s economic downtown, celebrities like Fuji musicians Wasiu “Kwam-1” Ayinde and Olaiya Igwe, who campaigned for Tinubu, have raised the alarm over the rising cost of food in the country.

Also, the Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar-led Northern Traditional Council, warned that rising poverty, hunger, and insecurity will soon force people to revolt against Tinubu’s government.
