I Campaigned On Hope; And We Will Bring Down This Inflation – Tinubu Promises Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration would fix the country’s economic challenges, including bringing down inflation.

Tinubu said this when he hosted the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council to 2024 Ramadan Iftar at the State House on Wednesday in Abuja.

He also added that even though he did not have a magic wand, Nigerians should not worry as he was determined to end inflation.

He said his government was  working to reverse it.

Following Tinubu’s removal of fuel subsidy and unification of the exchange rate on resumption of office in May 2023, Nigeria’s inflation rate has steadily increased, causing economic hardship to the people. 

The latest report by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) noted that the county’s inflation rose to 31.70 percent in February 2024, up from 29.90 percent in the previous month.

“It is the hard job that you promised the people of Nigeria when you were campaigning for me; you promised them a good result, didn’t you? That’s it, I have to work for it – no magic wand.

“I campaigned on hope, I have to rest on that hope, and push for that hope for the joy of every one of us. The economy is looking good, don’t worry about that.

“Don’t worry about that. Yes, we know we have the challenge of inflation – it’s okay, we will bring it down. We are re-engineering our revenue, it is getting better, and we are taking our sovereignty and respect back around the world – not that we have to go there and hire them to do the job for us, we are doing it ourselves.

“Whatever is happening to us, we have to serve it by ourselves. It is your effort, your thinking, your resourcefulness, your investment, your dedication, and hard work that can only get us there,” Tinubu said.

Osun LG Crisis: How PDP played into the hands of APC (Part 3)

By Ismail Omipidan  This particularly piece, is deliberately not going to be a long one. It is a follow-up to the part One and Two that I shared last year. This very intervention is necessited by my appearance as a Public Affairs Analyst on News Central TV last night , where i discussed the same subject matter. It also forms part of my continued effort to contribute meaningfully to political discourse by promoting accurate information and countering the spread of unverified claims, half-truths, and propaganda. For clarity, I have presented my submissions in bullet points, titled “15 Points to Know on the Osun Local Government Crisis.” Here are the points:  1. Governor Ademola Adeleke lied when he claimed he did not sack the council chairmen and councillors he met when he assumed office.   2. On the 28th of November,  2022, barely 24 hours after his swearing-in, his CPS, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, issued a statement directing the most senior career heads ac...

_30th January,2026_ Osun Local Government Workers are allegedly asking who will help prevail on Ademola Adeleke administration on behalf of some selectively victimized local government officials, especially at this time that the administration is behaving like a mad bull in a china shop?  According to reports,virtually all Local Government officials who they perceived as not heeding their wicked calls not to support the All Progressive Congress (APC) political officials currently in charge of at the local government are being punished with suspension from work using dubious charges. In the civil service, it is a common occurrence for employees who err to be formally queried, suspended, or terminated by their employers following rigorous disciplinary proceedings. What may be deemed unusual under civil service rules and regulations is the suspension of local government staff on dubious grounds. It is noteworthy that Osun Local Government staff were suspended by the Local ...
