Masses Are Suffering, Open Borders For Food To Come In, Reduce Fuel Price – Veteran Actor, Baba Wande Tells Tinubu

 

Veteran Nollywood actor Kareem Adepoju, popularly known as Baba Wande, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu’s administration to open the country’s borders to food items from neighbouring countries.

Baba Wande’s comments came as Nigerians battle economic hardship that has recently worsened due to the removal of fuel subsidies.

“Help us open the borders and let food come in. This is what you can do to help the masses,” Baba Wande said in a Twitter video on Tuesday.

The actor urged Mr Tinubu to redefine leadership in the country by prioritising the welfare of the masses and alleviating their suffering.

Baba Wande’s appeal came on the heels of the petrol pump upped by an additional N77 on Tuesday, prompting a fresh wave of panic in the citizenry.

“The masses are suffering; the fuel issue has caused problems. Many people cannot drive their cars anymore. Food items and daily-used commodities have become costlier due to the increase in the price of petrol,” he said.
