…assures challenges will soon be over

By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has called on Nigerians to exercise patience and support President Bola Tinubu in addressing the nation’s economic challenges.

Oyintiloye, a former member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), expressed confidence that with a little patience, the challenges Nigerians are currently facing would soon be a thing of the past.

Speaking in Osogbo on Sunday, the former lawmaker acknowledged that Nigerians were going through tough times but assured them that the president is working tirelessly to fix the economy. He emphasized that Tinubu is fully aware of the country’s struggles and is committed to addressing them day and night.

The APC chieftain also reminded Nigerians that the current economic crisis was not created by the president but rather inherited from longstanding economic issues. He urged citizens to remain patient and supportive as the president implements policies aimed at economic recovery.

Oyintiloye noted that while some of the president’s economic policies may seem tough, they are necessary for putting the country on the path to prosperity. He explained that Tinubu took office when the economy was in decline, requiring systemic reforms and the understanding of Nigerians.

As the president works on stabilizing the economy, Oyintiloye emphasized the importance of patience, prayers, and support from all Nigerians. He acknowledged that while the results of the president’s efforts are starting to show, they are still minimal, but there is hope for a less challenging future.

He further highlighted that Tinubu’s focus on economic reforms and diversification is driving policies aimed at revitalizing key sectors of the economy, including agriculture, manufacturing, technology, and the marine and blue economy.

Oyintiloye also mentioned the president’s launch of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), which is designed to stimulate economic growth through targeted investments and reforms.

“Several initiatives are being implemented to improve the business environment, attract foreign direct investment, and support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). With a little patience, things will improve, and Nigeria will rise again,” Oyintiloye said.
