- Speaking on Thursday at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, she said the administration is still very young and it’s doing what it can to fix the country.
Nigeria’s First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has said that her husband, President Bola Tinubu, should not be blamed for the current economic hardship in Nigeria.
Speaking on Thursday at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, she said the administration is still at its infancy and it’s doing what it can to fix the country.
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.
Nigerians have been grappling with severe economic hardship since the removal of fuel subsidy which jerked up the pump price of petrol from N198 to N1,030
