Peller, Jarvis wedding: Area boys were more than guests – Isaac Fayose hits Tinubu over hunger

Nigerian businessman and social commentator Prince Isaac Fayose has slammed President Bola Tinubu over the worsening economic hardship in the country.

In a video posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday, Isaac Fayose, who was reacting to the wedding ceremony of Nigerian content creators, Peller and Jarvis, said area boys begging for food outnumbered the invited guests.

He linked the development to the hardship currently ravaging the nation.

“Jarvis and Peller, congratulations to you. I saw many good people there but I saw more of the area boys on the street. The area boys are even more than the guests.

“That shows that there is a massive hunger in the land. I saw the area boys running after cars humbling themselves and accepting their fate that they are born to be hungry”, he said.

Fayose, who criticised President Tinubu for lacking the “economic strategy” to tackle the widespread hunger, condemned a recent comment by the Nigerian leader where he claimed that hunger has been there since he was born.

“Our President came out and said that before he was born, there was hunger. Now the hunger has tripled.

“There is no hunger in the UK and US but in his own dictionary, Tinubu said hunger has been there so why did he force himself into power to re-enthrone and reinforce hunger?

“Tinubu doesn’t have an idea of how to talk to the masses these days. No economic strategy to tackle this hunger in the land.

“Hungry man in Nigeria is no longer angry, we are too hungry to be angry. People are completely enslaved by this APC government.

“An election is coming and they are forming City Boy and Mama’s boy, but people that are hungry are not forming anything”, Fayose said.
