The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu over the arrest of Nigerians by security operatives, describing his policies as draconian and detrimental to the nation.
PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, reacted to the recent arrest of Nigeria Labour Congress President, Joe Ajaero, by the Department of State Service (DSS) at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
Ologunagba attributed the widespread protests across the country to the harsh economic conditions, stating that hunger and hardship are the true sponsors of the demonstrations.
He urged President Tinubu to address the root causes of the protests, rather than targeting individuals.
“The government should arrest hunger, not people,” Ologunagba emphasized, highlighting the struggles Nigerians face amid rising costs and economic hardship, particularly with the upcoming school resumption.
The PDP’s criticism reflects growing concerns about the government’s response to public dissent and the need for policies addressing economic hardship.
