- The lawmaker also expressed confidence in the nation’s economic recovery
Hon. Leke Abejide, a member of the House of Representatives for Yagba Federal Constituency, has described President Bola Tinubu as the “messiah” Nigeria needs to fix its challenges.
Speaking on Politics Today, a Channels Television programme, on Wednesday night, Abejide expressed optimism about the country’s progress under Tinubu’s administration compared to former President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
“By the time we get to 2026, everybody will be praising the President,” he said. “He is the messiah that Nigeria needs now, and he can fix Nigeria.”
The lawmaker also expressed confidence in the nation’s economic recovery, attributing the previous difficulties to mismanagement under the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
“At the twilight of the last administration, even for you to get N1,000 in your pocket, was it easy? You know how much was printed by the CBN. How can the economy survive like that?” Abejide asked, adding that Nigeria’s economy was now on a more realistic path.
He acknowledged ongoing issues with the exchange rate but assured that these challenges would be addressed in due time. “Things are getting better. This exchange rate issue will be fixed with time. It is better we go to reality than hiding,” he concluded.
