Akinwunmi Ambode, the former governor of Lagos State, has stated that President Bola Tinubu is not to blame for Nigeria’s current economic woes.
He said Nigerians must confront the current hardships and economic issues head on.
The former governor made this statement while speaking to delegates at the Akinjide Adeosun Foundation’s (AAF) 2024 Leadership Colloquium and Award at Alliance Francaise in Lagos.
The former governor stated that if citizens do not understand the core of the country’s problems, they would continue to blame others.
“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.”
