Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu has said that his husband, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has deep love for Nigerians despite the economic hardship the citizens are experiencing.
The first lady made this known when she paid the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu a courtesy visit, according to a statement on Tuesday by her Media Aide, Busola Kukoyi.
She assured that President Tinubu would do well to address the challenges facing the country. “I assure you that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will do well for this country. He loves Nigeria, he loves Nigerians and will do the best for them”.
On his part, Oba Akiolu urged Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu’s administration. “All that I am saying and appealing is that we should pray for Nigeria and the president. We should be patient. Everything good needs prayers,” he said.
This comes as Nigerians grapple with high headline and food inflation which stood at 34.19 percent and 40.87 respectively. Consequently, the purchasing power of Nigerians has continued to wane as hunger bites harder. Daily Post reports that Nigerians have planned a nationwide protest starting from August 1, 2024.
