Catholic priest urges President Buhari to address inflation, review wages

Rev. Fr., Vicent Idanwojo, the Parish Priest, Our Mercy Queen of Martha Catholic Church, Sabo Lugbe, Abuja, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to address the high cost of living in Nigeria.

Idanwojo, who spoke with newsmen on Sunday in Abuja, said the current economic hardship in the country had made it necessary to review the wage of workers.

He, however, commended Buhari for his efforts in tackling insurgency and corruption and called on Nigerians of all faiths to continue to pray for the president and others in authority so that they could provide good leadership.

“We need to pray for them as enjoined in the Bible.

“We can equally criticise them constructively for the good of the land.

“The president should try and ameliorate the sufferings of the masses to further enhance his credibility and goodwill amongst Nigerians.

“The president can tackle the current economic challenges headlong and make life easy for the common man by easing the pain on transportation, reduction of sky- rocketing market prices, and a review of minimum wage,’’ he said.

On the current stand-off between the leadership of the National Assembly and the Executive, the priest advised that the rule of law should prevail.
