Former Kaduna Central senator, Shehu Sani, on Wednesday, said President Bola Tinubu, senators, and state governors should make sacrifices.
Sani said leaders should make sacrifices to move Nigeria forward in the face of the prevailing hardship facing the country.
He spoke at the 64th Baptist Ministers Conference in Kaduna.
The former lawmaker also highlighted the severe impact of fuel price hikes on Nigerians’ daily lives.
He stressed that while transformation comes with sacrifices, it should not be borne solely by the poor.
Sani urged leaders in power to set an example by making personal sacrifices.
“We are a nation of 224 million people, and we cannot ignore the serious economic challenges facing the masses.
“The president, ministers, governors, senators, and those in authority must lead by making sacrifices to move the nation forward,” Sani said.
This came after the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, NNPC Ltd, hiked the pump price of the Petroleum Motor Spirit, PMS, also known as petrol, to N1,030 per litre.
However, Nigerian petroleum marketers said the government has completely removed subsidy on petrol, hence the hike in price.
