Former Lagos State governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, has said President Bola Tinubu is not the originator of the current economic challenges in Nigeria.
He said Nigerians need to face the current hardship and economic challenges frontally.
The former governor said this when he addressed attendees at the 2024 Leadership Colloquium and Award hosted by the Akinjide Adeosun Foundation (AAF) at Alliance Francaise in Lagos.
The ex-governor said citizens would continue the blame game if they do not understand the fundamentals of the problems facing the country.
“It has nothing to do with the singular person called Mr President; but if we don’t understand the fundamentals, we will start playing the blame games. We need to face our problems frontally,” he said.
“The major issue is that we are even tired of not fixing our issues. Now, we have found somebody that has decided in person of President Tinubu.
“Until we decide ourselves to say that we should unite for the common cause called Nigeria, the security issues will not go.
“We don’t have to wake up in the morning and talk ill of Nigeria. We get what we profess about Nigeria.”
