The Senator representing Abia North in the National Assembly, Orji Uzor Kalu, has said President Bola Tinubu moves around the Federal Capital Territory most nights to feel the pulse of the citizens.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Kalu said the president is aware of the pains and hardships Nigerians are facing and is taking bold steps to address the dwindling economy.
He said, “The President himself knows that Nigerians are suffering and hungry. He is a street person; he knows the street very well. The president some nights uses his car to go around and know what is happening in Abuja here.”
The claim of the president moving around at night elicit reactions from Nigerians.
