In the wake of rising inflation, widespread hunger, and relentless economic pressure confronting the average Nigerian, Presidential hopeful and Pan-African visionary, Abayomi Rotimi Mighty, has once again raised his voice in passionate defence of the common people. In a press statement issued on Wednesday, the statesman decried the unbearable suffering that has engulfed homes and hearts across the nation.
“Our people cannot breathe,” Abayomi Mighty declared. “From the marketplaces of Kano to the fishing communities of Bayelsa, and the bustling motor parks of Lagos, Nigerians are groaning. They are hungry, broken, exhausted — yet they wake up each day with hope. That hope must not be in vain.”
Recent reports from national monitoring bodies indicate that over 65% of Nigerians now spend more than 60% of their monthly income on food alone, while fuel, electricity, and transportation costs have surged to historic highs. Youth unemployment continues to rise, and access to healthcare remains out of reach for millions.
Abayomi Mighty, who has long championed the advocacy of youth and women inclusion in politics emphasized the moral responsibility of leadership to listen, respond, and reform. He criticized the current administration’s lack of empathy and strategic foresight, warning that “no nation survives the silence of its leaders during times of crisis.”
“This is no longer about politics,” he noted. “It is about survival. A mother skipping meals so her children can eat is not a political statement. It is a national emergency.”
He called for immediate intervention policies, including:
- Subsidized staple foods for low-income families
- A national emergency employment scheme for youths
- Increased minimum wage and a price control framework
- Strengthening of local agriculture to reduce food imports
In addition to policy recommendations, the Abayomi-Mighty Foundation for Development has rolled out community food relief initiatives and free mobile health clinics across several rural and urban areas.
As Nigeria prepares for the 2027 elections, many citizens are looking beyond rhetoric to leadership that offers clear solutions, radical empathy, and patriotic vision. For many, Abayomi Mighty represents the rise of such leadership — bold, unbought, and rooted in the realities of the people.
“We stand with the Nigerian people,” he affirmed. “And we will not stop until their cries are heard at the highest table of decision-making. This suffering must end. And it must end in our time.”
