Rt. Hon. Benjamin Kalu, the Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, has said President Bola Tinubu should not be blamed for Nigeria’s current economic hardship.

Kalu stated this on Sunday while celebrating orphans, widows, people living with disabilities, and the aged at his Bende, Abia country home to mark his 53rd birthday.

According to him, Tinubu is working assiduously to fix Nigeria’s current economic ordeals which were occasioned 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.

“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 sustainable livelihood. Let’s keep supporting and encouraging him,” he said.

He predicted a brighter future for the country after the current turbulence, urging Nigerians not to give up but to repose confidence in the current leadership of the country.
