“In 2015, we thought APC would change things for better, especially in the area of the economy. We thought President Buhari was the messiah we needed.

“But to our surprise, the country moved from pan to fire. Instead of changing our story to a better one, they have worsened the situation.

“There is suffering in the land and you can see a lot of crime everywhere because of the hunger in the land. They have said now that they will take us to the next level of suffering.
