Akpabio, who was a former governor of Akwa-Ibom, however said the current administration is doing everything to address the parlous state of the nation.
His statement comes on the heel of the protests and complaints of many Nigerians across the states over the hardship that plagues the nation.
Akabio spoke at Senator Barinada Mpigi’s Thanksgiving service in Koroma, Tai Local Government Area, Rivers State on Sunday.
“But what we can say is that yes there is hunger today because of the policies and actions that they took, and we recognise that, and I think every political party should recognise that there is hunger, and we are battling to ensure that Nigerians sleep with their eyes closed,” Akpabio stated.
Giving hope to Nigerians, Akpabio advised Nigerians to be patience, arguing that it would take time to solve Nigeria’s challenges.
His words: “Yes, there is insecurity; we are battling to ensure that Nigerians can take three square meals a day. But be rest assured that we campaigned for this job; we campaigned around the country; we will not let you down; we will get to the bottom of it; all we need is your patience”.
