President of the Senate @SPNigeria

RE: LET THE MASSES BREATH

We are deeply concerned about the negative tilting of a very harmless statement by President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, about his deep concern and that of the Senate on the plight of the ordinary Nigerians as a result of the prevailing economic situation in the country.

The statement "Let The People Breathe" made during Plenary on 26th July 2023, was made by Senator Akintunde Abiodun while speaking on the motion to halt the planned electricity tariff hike.

We want to assure the general public that all matters discussed during Senate sessions are of utmost importance and are treated with great seriousness by the President of the Senate and his Distinguished colleagues.

It is crucial to clarify that the intentions of the mover of the motion and the comments of the President of the Senate were never to make light of the hardships, suffering and economic challenges faced by Nigerians at this critical juncture.

The purpose of the proposal was to firmly reject any plan of increasing electricity tariffs for Nigerians, considering the ongoing economic challenges that Nigerians are faced with.

The primary focus of the current National Assembly under the Chairmanship of Senator Akpabio is on the implementation of effective and well-structured policies that truly benefit the people. He has repeatedly assured Nigerians that the current Senate will work for all Nigerians.

The President of the Senate deeply empathises with Nigerians and has never considered the current economic crisis in the country as a matter of jest.

His unwavering commitment lies in serving the best interests of the Nigerian people with the release of the ministerial list and the subsequent screening and swearing-in of the ministers we have high hopes that the newly appointed officials will promptly address the challenges and bring the much needed relief and succour to all citizens, thereby, easing the current hardship and pains experienced by Nigerians.

Signed,

Media Unit
Office of the President of the Senate.

TemplarLandry:

I dedicate “Let The Poor Breathe” by Dj. Cora feat. Jagaban to him. Cool jam!

So you no go dedicate "it will favor you and your family "??

Everything na joke to you

Its a pity

The poor will keep getting mocked until they speak up. If you can't speak up, then shut the fucck up and enjoy the mockery they dish out to you.

Please tell them that Nigerians want them to know that Nothing Last Forever, their joke and mockery will soon be over.

With this reply, it shows he indeed mocked the poor and still mocking them





Cursed leaders

listen to what from who? You think your choice is an angel and all others demons. Think on bros...

A Press release coming from the office of the Senate President cannot differentiate between "breath" as a noun and "breathe" as a verb.

Yet these are the same clowns in whose hands the fates of over 230million Nigerians have been committed.

Even the entire body of the write-up is laced with arrogance, thereby carrying nothing resembling a remorseful apology.

Quite shameful!

This 10th NASS would be a huge joke.

This one will be worst than the previous rubber stamp Lewan

They are all jokers. The leadership and citizens of this nation.

Apkabio shouldn't bother himself, bereaved and grieving Peter girigory Obi people will always cry about everything, they will even blame you for two much saliva in their mouth.

The message has been communicated. Always focused on trivialities. It is a topographic error. *Typographic*

Do your best though to find solutions to your poverty.

And to think that the electricity tariff has been surreptitiously hiked by the electricity marketers without approval. These guys are not being down to earth with us and the laughter after the "let the poor breathe" is to mock the masses' stupidity 😭😔😭😔😭

What happened in Niger will soon happen in Nigeria
(Account for the money or you die)

Fools

See finish.

Those eyeing the sit are those that are angry

Only a foolish person will take Nigerian politicians serious.
All they think about is money and the next election. None of them is there for the best interest of the masses.

The poor will breathe eventually.
It's just a matter of time.
In the nearest future, the cry would be:
"Let the politicians breathe"

We will treat your statement in due time
