He said there is an urgent need for President Bola Tinubu and the state governors to come to the rescue of the masses by providing solutions to the challenge.

In a statement in Osogbo, Oyintiloye said that the cost of basic foodstuff were getting out of the reach of the masses, thus making life difficult.
