Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has said that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, should not be held responsible for the current economic hardship in Nigeria.
She stated this on Thursday while speaking at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, saying Tinubu’s administration is still very young.
The president’s wife was in Ife to inaugurate a hostel and a 2.7-kilometre road donated to Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile Ife, by the Ooni of Ife and named after her.
“We are just two years into our administration. We are not the cause of the current situation. We are trying to fix it and secure the future.
“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 said.
Newspot reports that Nigerians have been groaning under economic hardship since the removal of fuel subsidy which jerked up the pump price of petrol from N198 to N1,030.
