President Bola Tinubu has openly admitted that the economic reforms implemented by his administration have caused considerable hardship for the people of Nigeria. Moreover, he revealed that these challenges have also affected him personally, leading to sleepless nights and weight loss.
In a speech delivered shortly after his victory was announced, Tinubu praised the national chairman of the electoral committee and the entire team for their hard work, acknowledging the demanding nature of the process and its impact on all participants.
He expressed gratitude to Nigerians from all walks of life for their steadfast support and sacrifices. “You’ve given me encouragement. Sometimes it is difficult and I shared the pain with you. I know what it takes to reform this economy that was in tatters. If you lost sleep, I lost some too. If you have lost weight, I think I have lost some too,” he stated.
“But I’ve always remembered one thing that year 2022, I asked for this job and you all supported me and I got it so I must do it,” he added.
