Senator Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians not to blame her husband, President Bola Tinubu for the current economic hardship in the country.
She revealed this while speaking at the Palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Thursday.
She was in Ife to inaugurate hostel and a 2.7 kilometer road donated to Ọbafẹmi Awolọwọ University, (OAU), Ile Ife, by the Ooni of Ife and named after her.
The First Lady said the Tinubu administration is still very young and they are working to fix the economy.
She said, “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.”
The president’s wife added that her husband is not greedy, thanking God for making him emerge Nigeria’s number one citizen.
“We give glory to God for our status, 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 can not disappoint Nigeria and with the help of God, we are getting to the promised land in no distant time.
“There is no food for the lazy man, even God worked for six days and rested on the seventh day.
“Nigeria is a land that’s flowing with milk and honey, but we need to sustain it for generations to come.
“God has richly blessed my family before getting to presidency and we are contented with what we have.”
Nigerians have been groaning under economic hardship since the removal of fuel subsidy which pushed the pump price of petrol from N198 to N1,030.
