Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has declared that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, should not be held accountable for the current economic suffering in Nigeria.
She revealed this on Thursday while speaking at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, stating Tinubu’s administration is still very young.
The president’s wife was at Ife to open 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 predicament. We are striving to repair it and protect 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 reducing subsidy earlier could not see it through. But with your prayers in the next two years, we will build a nation for the future,” she said.
Reports that Nigerians have been groaning under economic hardship since the termination of fuel subsidy which pushed up the pump price of petrol from N198 to N1,030.
