Nigeria’s opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said no fewer than 150 million Nigerians are sleeping with hunger because of failed policies under the President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government.

In a statement released by its national publicity secretary, Debo Ologunagba in Abuja on Monday evening, the PDP noted that the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu created a disconnection between the federal government and the citizens.

Ologunagba questioned the government’s concern for Nigerians’ well-being, particularly in light of the withdrawal of gasoline subsidies and the floating of the naira.
