(TRUEPOINTNEWS ABUJA) Senator Adeniyi A. Adegbonmire, representing Ondo Central Senatorial District has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the impacts of his administration since assuming office 

In a chat with journalists, in his National Assembly office on Tuesday, Senator Adegbonmire said President Tinubu should be commended rather than criticized for his tough, but necessary decisions in the face of long-standing systemic decay.

Speaking on the sidelines of Mr President’s two years in office, the Senator stated, “He’s a man to be celebrated, he’s an astute politician…celebrate a man that has courage. In these two years, given what he met and what he has done, he should be given an excellent mark. Tinubu has done exceedingly well in the circumstances he found Nigeria”.

When pressed on the prevalent economic hardships, he said, “This is not a Tinubu two-year problem, it’s the result of decades of decadence. Anybody who had become president would have faced the same problems. The question is whether they would have had the courage to act decisively.”

Senator Adegbonmire, who is the chairman, Senate Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matter, emphasized that decisions such as fuel subsidy removal, currency reforms, and fiscal tightening, though painful, are vital to preventing economic collapse.

“There is nothing free. Nigerians need to understand that subsidy isn’t magic. Someone pays for it. That someone is the government—meaning all of us.

“More than 60% of the fuel we claimed to import disappeared across borders, paid for by the Nigerian people. That was our loss.

“Our culture must shift. We cannot consume wastefully and expect progress. Everyone has to make changes, even in their homes”, he added.

The Federal lawmaker noted that despite growing pains, Nigeria is on a recovery path. “You may not feel it yet, but the foundation is being laid. Tinubu has done exceedingly well under the circumstances he inherited.”
