Malam Aminu Ibrahim Ringim the New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP’s leader and its 2023 gubernatorial candidate in Jigawa State, has criticised the current ruling party, All Progressives Congress, (APC) for deteriorating the economic and social conditions in both the state and the country, stating that citizens have endured enough suffering under its leadership.
In a stakeholders’ meeting in Hadejia, Jigawa State, He condemned several policies of the state government, opposing that they fail to address the needs of the common man. He fustigates the recently launched citizens’ engagement programme by the Jigawa State Government, claiming it does not provide an effective platform for ordinary citizens to voice their concerns.
Rigim said “A common man should be allowed to speak his mind, even if it is against the government’s interest,”
He bewails the increasing hardship faced by Nigerians, warning that the suffering has become unbearable.
Ringim urged both the state and federal governments to take urgent action to improve the lives of citizens, emphasising that many people have been reduced to beggars and are struggling to survive.
Significantly, He said“The government must prioritise education, healthcare, job creation, and agricultural development. Every policy and programme should be designed to uplift the common man, with a serious commitment to effective implementation. If these sectors are improved, poverty will decrease, and so will crime, including theft, armed robbery, and kidnapping,”
Ringim reaffirmed the NNPP’s role as an opposition party, stating that it is their duty to hold the government accountable and demand policies that will alleviate the suffering of the people.
