A member of the House of Reps, Abiodun Faleke, has pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu, as he tries to reposition the economy.
Faleke stated this on Saturday, while addressing his constituents at a town hall meeting in Ikeja.
NAN reports that a meeting was organised by the lawmaker to give an account of his stewardship as representative of the constituency at the National Assembly.
Faleke said the president was working hard to reposition the economy, assuring that the various economic reforms of the present administration would soon yield the desired results.
“I can assure Nigerians that the president is working hard to fix the economy, and serious work is ongoing to reposition the economy so that citizens can enjoy the dividends of democracy.
“The reformation process is not easy, and that explains why we are experiencing what we are experiencing presently. I appeal to Nigerians to be patient as things will be alright soon.
“Nigeria had wasted a lot of money on fuel subsidy, which favoured only a few. This cartel sabotaged the economy by buying subsidised fuel and selling it to neighbouring countries.
“With this newly- signed budget, which is the president’s first, things will work out fine and citizens will enjoy the economy soon,” he said.
