You should have allowed Igbo to enter. You are causing us pain – Fish seller tackles Tinubu, Sanwo-Olu over inflation
A fish seller at Oyingbo market, Lagos State has lamented the harsh economic reality Nigerians are facing.
Speaking in Yoruba, she said:
“Government please help us. You said we should vote for you. Now we have voted for you. You are now putting us through untold hardship. Fish that we bought for N30, 000 before is now N70, 000. Kote fish that was N15, 000 is now N40, 000. Please have mercy on us. We are hungry. Please don’t let us go through this pain. We can’t go out again nor even eat.
This is the fish we sell to train our children. We can’t send our kids to school anymore. We can’t eat again.
This period is causing everyone pain. Don’t cause us pain. We can’t go out anymore. We don’t have money to sell goods nor eat. Have mercy on us Tinubu. Lagos State government, Sanwo-Olu have mercy on us.
We have voted for you. You shouldn’t be doing us this way. All the promises you made you have reneged. You have caused us so much pain. You have not made us happy. Fish that we sell to save money and also send our kids to school, you have made us to stop selling them. Look upon us with the eyes of mercy. Have mercy on us. You are causing us pain.
We selling fish, we are in pain, the people buying from us are also in pain. Please have mercy on us.
Tinubu and Sanwo-Olu have mercy on us. We have voted for you. You Yoruba sons, you have entered office now and you are now causing us pain.
Why didn’t you allow Igbo to enter office. If Igbo entered office, things would not have been this bad. You people said you will do something. You have not done anything. You are causing us pain.”
