Economic Crisis: Nigerians Suffering In Silence – Bashir Ahmad

Bashir Ahmad

Former Presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad has reacted to the worsening economic hardship faced by Nigerians under the Tinubu-led administration.

In a heartfelt post on social media platform X, Ahmad highlighted the struggles that numerous citizens are enduring silently during these challenging times.

“Truly, many people are struggling silently in these times of critical economic hardship,” Ahmad, who previously campaigned in support of Tinubu, lamented on Wednesday.

In his appeal, Ahmad called on Nigerians to extend support to those who have fallen into poverty as a result of the prevailing economic conditions.

He emphasized the importance of community solidarity, urging individuals to offer help even when it is not explicitly requested.

“Let’s extend a helping hand to as many people as we can, even when they don’t ask for it. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Encourage those in your circle to also do the same,” he advised.

Ahmad’s call for compassion comes on the heels of a recent announcement from the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPCL), which saw fuel prices surge above ₦1,030 per litre.

The fuel price hike has exacerbated existing frustrations among Nigerians, with many taking to social media to criticize President Tinubu’s administration.
