The Anglican Bishop of Ikwerre Diocese, in River State, Dr Blessing Enyindah has called on President Bola Tinubu to as a matter of urgency address the increasing hardship facing Nigerians.
Many Nigerians have been urging the government to find solutions to the continued increase in the prices of food in the country.
During his sermon at the funeral service for former Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu at Saint Andrews Cathedral Church Imola, Owo, Ondo State on Friday, Enyindah urged the President to act fast on the matter.
Enyindah said: “May I on behalf of Nigerians pray and call on the President, Senator Bola Tinubu, to do something to reduce the hardship faced by Nigerians.
“We have the hope he would do it because he promised us renewed hope and according to him, it is his turn, so the turn and opportunity have been given to him now. We are waiting and expecting the fulfillment of the renewed hope.
“We plead with him to do it fast because time, that is four or eight years as the case may be, is brief and the time is running”.
Akeredolu, who died last 27th December 27 in Germany, following a protracted illness, was laid to rest in his country home on Friday.
Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented President Tinubu, was among the dignitaries who attended the service.
Others included Akeredolu’s successor, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Ekiti State Governor Mr. Biodun Oyebanji; his Edo State counterpart, Mr Goodwin Obaseki; former Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusẹgun Mimiko;former governos of Ogun State, Senator Gbenga Daniel; and Senator Ibikunle Amosun; former Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi; National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, political appointees; and members of the Body of Benchers.
