Paramount ruler of Warri Kingdom, Ogiame Ikenwoli on Friday told Vice President Yemi Osinbajo that Nigerians are still hungry despite the economy blueprints of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

The monarch spoke using the popular Warri local parlance, pidgin English when Osinbajo paid him a courtesy visit before heading to popular Warri Main market for the flagoff of the Tradermoni scheme of the Buhari’s administration.

The royal father who spoke through Chief Charles Ikimi said the Vice President should not fail in fulfilling the promises made to the traders.

The reverred monarch stressed, “The two categories of traders you talk about so, dey here plenty dey wait.

“Before, dem dey see oil company’s motors for town dey drive dey come but now as dem go Port-Harcourt, as dem go other places, the people dey hungry. Christmas naim reach so, we nor see better inside.”

The Olu of Warri Kingdom said if the Vice President released the money for the traders, their businesses will improve.
