The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has appealed to Nigerians not to blame the Tinubu’s administration for the current hardship faced in the nation.
The legislator said this on Sunday, when he organized an event for orphans, widows, people living with disabilities and the aged at his Bende, Abia State country home to mark his 53rd birthday.
During the event, Benjamin Kalu explained that Nigeria’s current economic ordeals were caused by the errors of the previous administrations in the country.
“The hardship we are passing through was not caused by this man. It’s a piled up case of previous administrations and how they mismanaged one or two things.” He said.
The Deputy Speaker encouraged Nigerians to be patient with President Tinubu as he makes efforts to address the challenges he inherited, citing the positive impacts of policies.
“We cannot continue to live in lies thinking that all is well. Tinubu wants to clean up the place so that we can have a genuine livelihood that is sustainable. Let’s keep supporting and encouraging him.” He added.
Highlights of the ceremony was the sharing of food by the Deputy Speaker to the impoverished groups and a presentation of portrait to him by inmates of orphanage home.
