Nollywood actor Yul Edochie has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to provide an economic relief package for Nigerians.
The thespian stated that the money would help the citizens as they comply with the stay at home order as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
Using his Twitter account, Yul Edochie said that even if it’s N50,000 the president gives to Nigerians, it would go a long way as people are hungry, locked down with no money.
He said that with what the people are experiencing in their current situation, it would be difficult to keep them at home.
In his words:
“Dear President@MBuhari,
Please provide an economic relief package for Nigerians, even if it’s 50k each, it will go a long way.
People are hungry, locked down with no money, begging left, right & centre.
With the situation like this, it’ll be difficult to keep people at home.”
Dear President @MBuhari
Pls provide an economic relief package for Nigerians, even if it's 50k each, it will go a long way.
People are hungry, locked down with no money, begging left, right & centre.
With the situation like this, it'll be difficult to keep people at home.— Yul Edochie (@YulEdochie) March 29, 2020
Edochie’s tweet comes after the President addressed the nation via a broadcast yesterday.
