First lady and wife of the President Sen Mrs Oluremi Tinubu said his husband shouldn’t be blamed for the current economic woes and hardship facing the country.
Mrs Tinubu who made this statement at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on thursday lamented that the country was only going through a rough patch and therefore exonerated the President from blames of being responsible for this present calamity bedeviling the nation.
She noted that the current administration is making efforts to secure the future of the country in order to alleviate the suffering of the masses while promising that the country’s economy would witness improvement in the next two years of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“What is happening in the country, we are just two years into our administration, we are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix and secure the future.
“I have embarked on several journeys but it seems that people are not seeing what God is doing in the land. Nations across the globe want to do business with us, legally, on the table. There is a government in power now that they know it is accountable.
“We know that subsidy has been removed but with God on our side in the next two years, Nigeria will be greater than this. Those who attempted removing subsidy before could not see it through. But with your prayers in the next two years we will build a nation for the future,”
She therefore called on youths in the country to key into several life-changing opportunities being made available by the Federal Government, saying Nigerians should be patient and embrace the virtue of hard work.
She assured all present that President Tinubu would not disappoint Nigerians, adding that initiatives that would make Nigeria work for future generations were being introduced by the current administration.
She said, “Nigeria will be great and sweet again. When we started in Lagos, many doubted us, they abused us but see the transformation in Lagos now, it is generating its money and running on its own.
“Nigeria is a land of prosperity, to make it work for the coming generation is what we are doing. We are satisfied already, myself and my husband, we are not greedy but we thank God for what God has done for us.
“It is not common for rich people to get to this seat but I am grateful to God. We cannot disappoint Nigerians and with the help of God, we are getting to the promised land in no distant time.”
