The Leader of Yoruba Self-Determination Movement and Ilana Omo Oodua has alleged that no individual including President Bola Tinubu could single-handedly solve Nigeria's deep-rooted issues swiftly.
He acknowledged the challenging circumstances inherited by Tinubu, describing an economy in turmoil marked by widespread riots and discontent among the populace. Despite the daunting task ahead, Tinubu demonstrated courage and promised to address the nation's issues. While recognizing the complexity of Nigeria's problems, he credited President Tinubu for implementing positive changes. He expressed hope that Tinubu's leadership could eventually revitalize the economy.
He said in an interview with The Punch, ''He (Tinubu) inherited an awful situation, an economy that had collapsed. People were rioting on the streets and cursing the government. Members of the National Assembly were shedding tears when they talked about poverty and the suffering of their people. That was the situation. But he had the courage and assured Nigerians to entrust the nation to him that he would fix it
Yes, it can't be done in a hurry. None of us can be foolish enough to believe that Tinubu or anybody can fix Nigeria in a hurry. But he had done several good things. There is no doubt about that. Maybe over time. He will be able to bring life back into the economy. But realistically, nobody expects that. After him, the Nigerian economy might go back downwards, as it was going downward before he came. There is no doubt about that.''
