The former South East Chairman of Inter Party Advisory Council, IPAC, ,Prince Emeka Okafor has charged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to throw in the towel if he cannot fix the nation’s refineries to reduce suffering in the country adding that he is turning Nigerians to beggars through distribution of palliatives.

South East former IPAC Chairman,Prince Emeka Okafor disclosed this Sunday in Umuahia while appraising the distribution of food palliatives largesse extended to Nigerians by the federal government in order to cushion the effects of removal of fuel subsidy.

Okafor who was the former Abia State Chairman of Inter Party Advisory Council IPAC painted a gory pictures of the sufferings in the land noting that President Tinubu has turned Nigerians into beggars, somebody that can go to his farm,you said you are given him palliatives,this is not the solution to our problems.

He however revealed that the increase in fuel prices has led to sharp increase in the prices of food items , transportation including other intangible services hitherto enjoyed by the poor masses before the sudden surge in oil prices.

Okafor who also held position as the former Chairman of Abia State All Progressive Grand Alliance,Apga noted that he sees palliatives given to the poor masses as a way of President turning Nigerians to beggars, noting that what the suffering masses need is a solution to the country’s economic problems.

According to Prince Emeka Okafor who served as Commissioner in the Abia State Executive Council for three times said” Let President fix the nation’s refineries and save Nigerians the current hardship they are currently through since the fuel subsidy was removed”.

“But if he don’t know what to do to fix the nation’s refineries and reduce the hardship in the land within six months time,let him throw in the towel and hand over to me, if the economy of the country is not turned around under watch in 6 months time,I will certainly present myself for sanctions ” Prince Emeka Okafor said.

The experienced politician who cut his politicial teeth in Anambra state during the administration of Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju pointed out that our leaders know where the problem lies which he said is very glaring, adding that Nigeria is endowed with oil,we are exporting it and buying back as a finished products at very high rate thereby devaluing our naira before dollars and other foreign currencies.

He added if the railway lines are functioning,the transportation cost from Northerners bringing goods to the Southern part of the country will be reduced and the goods will be cheaper,but regretted that Nigerians are the cause of their own problems through policies that are not masses friendly.

The PDP chieftain asked what will cost Nigeria to maintain existing refineries stating that if Aliko Dangote,a private investor can put up a massive modular refinery in few months time,why is it taken the country over 24 years to refix our refineries.

The outspoken politician, Prince Emeka Okafor noted with regret that mortuary is today a very lucrative business in the country because people are dying in numbers owing to current economic realities in the land while calling on the president to refix the country’s refineries in order to reduce attendant adverse effects of removal of fuel subsidy.
