As President Bola Tinubu marks two years in office, former President Muhammadu Buhari has thrown his weight behind the administration’s economic reforms, urging Nigerians to temper expectations and avoid politicising critical changes. But with inflation squeezing households, can patience outlast the pain?
- Buhari describes leadership as a "continuous journey," applauding Tinubu’s efforts while cautioning against overnight fixes.
- He warns domestic politics must not derail reforms, emphasising collective responsibility to tackle poverty and inflation.
- The ex-president calls for optimism but acknowledges the "immense" task ahead, urging private sector and citizen involvement.
Buhari’s endorsement underscores the APC’s push for unity amid economic headwinds, yet his plea for patience tests public resolve as living costs soar.
Leadership legacies are built over the years, but trust is eroded daily by empty pots and unpaid bills. "Should Nigerians measure progress in policies or pocketbooks?"
For citizens and diaspora alike, Buhari’s message is a double-edged sword: a call for hope amid hardship, and a reminder that governance demands more than slogans.
