Senator Rufai Hanga, representing Kano Central Senatorial District, shared his perspective on President Tinubu's progress, noting that expecting instant solutions to complex issues from Tinubu is unrealistic.
With only a year in office, Hanga believes it's premature to judge Tinubu's performance and called for patience, emphasizing the need to give Tinubu more time to effect changes.
Hanga highlighted the decrease in the dollar exchange rate to N900 as evidence of positive developments under Tinubu's leadership, suggesting that critics should now see tangible progress.
Encouraging optimism, Hanga pointed to the recent improvement in the dollar rate as a reflection of how Tinubu's policies could benefit the economy in the long run.
He expressed confidence that if Tinubu could impact the dollar rate positively, similar improvements could be expected in other sectors.
Hanga emphasized the virtue of patience, acknowledging the journey ahead might be lengthy, but he remains hopeful about Nigeria's economic prospects under Tinubu's administration.
He asserted, "Maybe they expect him (Tinubu) to use a magic wand to correct what has gone wrong, which is not possible. Maybe they were expecting him to be a magician; I don’t know."
"It is not right to condemn somebody who has only had a year in office. We need to give him time."
"Now, look at the rate of the dollar; it has come down to N900. If you have been condemning him before, now you can see the improvement."
"It is only a matter of time. You need to give him the benefit of the doubt to see what happens."
"I believe the future of the economy is looking good for the country. If he (Tinubu) can do what he did to the dollar, the same will happen with many other things. The journey is long; people have to be patient."
