Oluremi Tinubu, first lady, says President Bola Tinubu is
not the cause of the economic hardship being experienced in the country.
The first lady spoke on Thursday when Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ooni
of Ife, hosted her at his palace in Osun state.
The president’s wife said the current administration is
trying to fix the situation in the country.
“We are just 18 months into our administration, we are not
the cause of the current situation, we are trying to fix it and secure the
future,” she said.
“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 to remove the subsidy before could not
see it through. But with your prayers in the next two years, we will build a
nation for the future.
“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 cannot disappoint
Nigeria and with the help of God.”
The monarch said he has been a keen admirer of the first
lady.
“One of my major attractions was the New Era Initiative
especially as it concerns the One Day Governor in Lagos that is totally
detribalised and provided opportunities to young secondary school boys and
girls to become Governor in Lagos state,” he said.
“This has been a milestone and major inspiration for the
younger ones to aspire and proper.”
Thereafter, the first lady inaugurated a hostel and a road
named after her that were donated to Ọbafẹmi Awolọwọ University (OAU) by the
Ooni.
