Senator Orji Kalu, representing Abia North, revealed that President Bola Tinubu personally monitors the conditions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), moving around Abuja to observe Nigerians’ struggles.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Kalu highlighted that Tinubu is deeply aware of the hardships, describing him as “a street person” familiar with the ground realities.
“The president himself knows that Nigerians are suffering and hungry. He is a street person; he knows the street very well,” Senator Kalu said.
He continued: “The president some nights uses his car to go around and know what is happening in Abuja here.”
This came after Vice President Kashim Shettima acknowledged that some government policies, while painful, are necessary for long-term improvement of the economy.
Both leaders emphasized empathy for the Nigerian people.
