"President Bola Tinubu knew that the problems were there before he got there, it’s not about former president Muhammadu Buhari did this or that. He knew all these, when he said he would do the job. Did he not know that when he was campaigning for the office? The problems did not meet him unaware, how can he get there now and start giving excuses. He must have planned for them before he got into the office. Tinubu said that subsidy had been removed, when he removed it, what did he do with the money?" Chief Adebanjo said.
