The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is not responsible for Nigeria’s current economic hardship. 

While speaking to newsmen in Abia over the weekend, Kalu argued that Nigeria’s current economic ordeals were occasioned by the errors of the previous administrations in the country which, according to him, President Tinubu, is working hard to fix.

“The hardship we are passing through was not caused by this man. It’s a piled-up case of previous administrations and how they mismanaged one or two things,” he said

The Deputy Speaker urged Nigerians to be patient with President Tinubu as he makes efforts to address the challenges he inherited, claiming that his policies are beginning to yield results.

“We cannot continue to live in lies thinking that all is well. Tinubu wants to clean up the place so that we can have a genuine livelihood that is sustainable. Let’s keep supporting and encouraging him.” he said
