You Must Endure Current Hardship To Have Good Future, Tinubu Tells Nigerians
President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to keep enduring the current economic hardship for the sake of the country’s growth and development.
This was stated in an Instagram post shared on Monday by his son, Seyi Tinubu on his verified page, stating that his father is aware of the suffering of Nigerian citizens.
“There is no joy in seeing the people of this nation shoulder burdens that should have been shed years ago. I wish today’s difficulties did not exist. But we must endure if we are to reach the good side of our future,” Seyi quoted Tinubu as saying.
Seyi’s post comes amid a protest held by residents of Ibadan, the Oyo State capital against the rising cost of living and hardship.
Ibom Focus had reported how the angry citizens blocked major roads while protesting against Tinubu’s economic policies, which they said had made them poorer.
The protest began in Ibadan’s Mokola area, and the protesters, mostly young people, barricaded the Mokola under-bridge and the Queen Elizabeth Road, causing traffic congestion in some parts of the ancient city.
Some of the placards have inscriptions such as ‘Open Boarder, End Hardship’, ‘End food hike and inflation’, ‘The poor is starving’, ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, amongst others.
