President Bola Tinubu has begged Nigerians to sacrifice a little more, saying that he understands the hardship the subsidy removal has imposed on them.
According to Tinubu, there is need for the general public to make little sacrifice for the betterment of the entire nation.
The President made this known during his maiden Democracy day address to Nigerians on Monday, June 12.
The president added that the temporal discomfort occasioned by the subsidy removal was necessary to save the country from going under.
He said, “I feel your pain. This is one decision we must bear to save our country from going under and take our resources away from the stranglehold of a few unpatriotic elements.
“I admit that the decision will impose an extra burden on the masses of our people. Painfully, I have asked you, my compatriots, to sacrifice a little more for the survival of our country”.
