“Stop blaming President Tinubu for economic hardship” – Ex-lawmaker tells Nigerians

Former House of Representatives member, Barrister Wumi Ogunlola, has defended President Bola Tinubu, stating that he cannot be blamed for the current economic hardships in Nigeria.

Speaking in Ado-Ekiti, Ogunlola stated that the country was already facing severe economic difficulties before Tinubu assumed office, likening Nigeria’s state to being in an “intensive care unit.”

Ogunlola attributed the socio-economic problems to mistakes made by past administrations and asserted that President Tinubu is working to rectify those issues through strategic reforms.

She expressed confidence in Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope” agenda, urging Nigerians to give his administration more time to address the challenges, stating that the President is focused on long-term solutions.

She acknowledged that it would be impossible to fix all of the country’s issues overnight but assured that the country’s economic situation would improve in time under Tinubu’s leadership.

Her words: “It’s a pity that we find ourselves where we are, we don’t always think about the foundations of a thing, we only talk about the way we are building on it.

“All these things we are experiencing started from somewhere but we don’t always acquaint our mind to the fact that some people started this thing and we are the one bearing the brunt of it.

“It is because there are some people who have made some mistakes in the time past but I have listen to the President say, by the time he would finish his four years, if he has not done it well, they should vote against him.

“It is because he’s so sure of what he is doing and he knows the aftermath of what will come out of what he is doing.”
