'Its unbearable' - APC group laments rising cost of living

A youth group aligned to the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lamented the rising cost of living in the country as they urged the President to address the crisis.

Under the aegis of the League of Youth Voters for Tinubu and Shettima said the upgoing cost of living in Nigeria is unbearable for the common man.

This was made known by the national coordinator of the group, Ayoola Oyejide in Abuja on Thursday, July 6.

His statement reads in part: “Rise in the cost of living is unprecedented and unbearable. The president is expected to revamp our ailing and critically dysfunctional economy.”

The group also condemned corruption among the "public functionaries" in the country, describing the development as endemic.

Oyejide maintained that the President was expected to confront the challenges with strict hands, lay down a good foundation for transparency, and have zero tolerance for corruption.
