President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been implored to restore the hope of Nigeria and save its citizens from dying of hunger amidst the current economic hardship.

Naija News reports that since the removal of subsidy after President Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023, food commodities and transportation prices have continued to skyrocket.

It has also affected many businesses; while some have packed up, others are still struggling to make sales and survive.

In a video making the rounds on social media, a man was seen prostrating on the ground and pleading with  President Tinubu in the Yoruba language.

The man lamented the low turnout of business and hunger in the country.

He said, “Baba Tinubu please, we no longer have business coming to us, please we voted for you. Please have mercy on us. Don’t let us regret voting for you.

“Please, hunger is about to kill us”.
