Senate President Godswill Akpabio has stated that the current economic hardships are not solely the faults of President Bola Tinubu.

He made this statement during the 2024 reunion of the UNICAL ’87 Law Class over the weekend. Akpabio attributed the hardships faced by Nigerians on the lack of essential infrastructure and mismanagement.

Accordingly, Akpabio is confident that Tinubu will lead the country back to prosperity with his renewed hope agenda.

“The difficulties we are witnessing in our nation today were not caused by the present administration. These are as a result of years of maladministration. Any country that does not have backbone infrastructure, you don’t have something to develop, you don’t save for the raining day. When there is economic malaise such as we are witnessing in the world today, such a country is bound to be affected.

The good news is that under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we have hope today that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

The things that we are trying to do now, we are doing for posterity. Not for ourselves. Be assured that this administration will leave behind lasting legacies that will guarantee a better future.”

Meanwhile, Nigerians continue to express their grievances over the policies implemented by President Tinubu, which have left the masses in poverty.

The continuous rise in fuel prices, escalating food costs and the devaluation of the naira are some of the crises that citizens are grappling with.
