The Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, said Bola Tinubu was not responsible for Nigeria’s current economic hardship.
This is as the lawmaker, on Sunday, celebrated orphans, widows, people living with disabilities and the aged at his Bende, Abia State country home to mark his 53rd birthday.
During an interview with newsmen, the Deputy Speaker, explained 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.
In his words, “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.”

“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 however, predicted a brighter future for the country after the current turbulence, urging Nigerians not to give up but to repose confidence in the current leadership.
