Senator Uche Ekwunife, who serves as the Director General of the South-East Governors Forum, stated that Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration should not be blamed for the current economic hardship in Nigeria.
Ekwunife, stated this in a brief chat with newsmen on Sunday, noting that the economic hardship is the result of the poor policy decisions undertaken by the previous government which Tinubu is trying to correct.
Ekwunife emphasised that this perspective ignores the systemic issues that have long plagued the nation, dating back several decades, and lamented the consistent blaming of Tinubu for issues deeply rooted in Nigeria’s history.
According to her, “It is unrealistic to expect Tinubu to solve multi-generational problems within a short time. Blaming him for the current struggles is a misrepresentation of the nation’s complex challenges”, stressing that he inherited many of these problems, which are largely due to an entrenched corrupt system.
