Hardship: Tinubu should not be held responsible for economic woes – Ambode spills

Akinwunmi Ambode, the former governor of Lagos State, has asserted that President Bola Tinubu cannot be held responsible for the ongoing economic difficulties in Nigeria.

Ambode emphasized the need for Nigerians to confront the prevailing hardships and economic challenges head-on.

These remarks were made by the ex-governor during his speech at the 2024 Leadership Colloquium and Award, organized by the Akinjide Adeosun Foundation (AAF) and held at Alliance Francaise in Lagos.

Ambode further stated that unless citizens grasp the underlying issues plaguing the nation, the blame game will persist.

“It has nothing to do with the singular person called Mr President; but if we don’t understand the fundamentals, we will start playing the blame games. We need to face our problems frontally,” he said.

“The major issue is that we are even tired of not fixing our issues. Now, we have found somebody that has decided in person of President Tinubu.

“Until we decide ourselves to say that we should unite for the common cause called Nigeria, the security issues will not go.

“We don’t have to wake up in the morning and talk ill of Nigeria. We get what we profess about Nigeria.”
