I don\u2019t think it is the issue of the new government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abubakar insisted that the country is not well, adding that Nigerians\u2019 quietness in the face of these challenges must not be taken for granted.<\/p>\n<p>The Sultan added that there should be no pretence that all was well with the country as Nigerians were more than ever before agitated because they \u201care hungry and angry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, as a way out, the millions of unemployed youths roaming the nation\u2019s streets and sitting idle must be engaged and taken off the streets by being gainfully employed as a measure to stave off further calamity in the land.<\/p>\n<p>He was however quick to exonerate President Bola Tinubu while noting that the current sorry state of the nation was the continuation of the last administration of the All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cTo me, this government is a continuation of the former government; it is the same party. So, what really is the problem? I think that is one of the reasons we are here to talk to ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe owe it a duty to the teeming millions of people that believe in the traditional institution, to bring solutions to the various problems facing them. We will not fail in doing that. We will do our best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd let\u2019s not take it for granted; people are quiet, they are quiet for a reason because people have been talking to them; we have been talking to them. We have been trying to tell them things will be okay and they keep on believing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have reached that level, people are very agitated, people are hungry, they are angry but they still believe there are people who can talk to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we have this onerous task of reaching out to everybody, calm them down and assure them things will be okay.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The meeting which later went into closed-door centred on health issues, insecurity and poverty in the region(north).<\/p>\n<p>It had in attendance the Tor Tiv, Prof. James Iyerste; and other traditional rulers,
