Cost of living – Dogara urges Nigerians to pray rather that putting the country on flames

 

By Ahmed Ahmed

The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara has called on Nigerians to pray for the leaders over the high cost of living rather than setting uncontrollable utterances in the country.

 

Dogara made the call during the burial ceremony of his late mother, Mama Saratu Yakubu Tukur held in his country home, Gwarangah, Bogoro LGA of Bauchi State on Saturday.

 

He expressed dismay over the high cost of living that affects citizens and all the sectors in the country.

“We have no other country to run to if we set Nigeria on fire. There is indeed hardship and hunger  across the country, but we must tread with caution.”

 

 

” The situation is affecting everybody irrespective of ethno-religious differences and so, the situation is not beyond redemption,” he said.

 

Dogara added that, the problem is not one man’s problem, it is beyond one man, we must all join hands to solve the problem, and each one of us has a role to play.

“.If we set the country on fire, we will not be able to do anything, we will not even be here in this church for the burial program. I am appealing for caution in the way we react to the situation.”

“Let us take an exception to what is happening in other countries, we must do things that will make the situation better. Things are going to get better very soon,” Dogara said.

He then called on Nigerians to engage in prayers for divine intervention in the situation saying that there is nothing God cannot do to turn the situation around.
