Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Osun State, has urged Nigerians to support President Bola Tinubu rather than criticise him over the country’s economic hardship.
Speaking with journalists in Osogbo on Sunday, the former Osun State lawmaker acknowledged Nigerians’ suffering but insisted that Tinubu was working to improve the economy.
He defended petrol subsidy removal and the floating of the naira, describing them as necessary reforms already producing positive results despite the hardship they caused.
“What the President needs at this point is our encouragement, not harsh criticism or name-calling,” he said.
“What he met when he assumed office was a battered economy, and since then, he has been working round the clock to address the economic crisis.
“We should all remember that he was not the architect of the current economic challenges we are facing, and he cannot solve all the problems at once.”
Oyintiloye also criticised opposition politicians using economic hardship to campaign against Tinubu ahead of 2027, claiming none of them could perform better based on their previous records.
“It would, therefore, be unwise to weaponise the current economic challenges, which the President is trying to address, against his presidential ambition,” he stated.
However, he urged Tinubu to intensify efforts to ease Nigerians’ suffering by reviewing social intervention programmes for vulnerable citizens and strengthening economic policies.
He expressed confidence in Tinubu’s chances of winning the 2027 presidential election, citing his administration’s achievements across various sectors.
Oyintiloye also urged Nigerians to continue praying for the president and supporting his efforts to move the country forward.
