He lamented that the individuals capable of rescuing Nigeria from its current predicament are yet to be born. His comments come amid growing concerns regarding the rising cost of living and the impact on citizens.
Igbokwe's remarks have sparked a wave of reactions across social media platforms, with many users criticizing the government and questioning the effectiveness of current leadership.
