The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Chief Monisade Afuye, has enjoined the residents of the state to avoid despondence and be hopeful, as the state government will soon roll out resources to palliate the effects of fuel subsidy removal.
Afuye, in a statement by her Media Aide, Victor Ogunje, spoke on Sunday, at a Church service marking the 12th Anniversary of God of Fire Pentecostal Ministry, Ido Ekiti, Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
The deputy governor enjoined Nigerians not to despair over the current economic hardship having a scorching effect on them, assuring that President Tinubu was desperately contriving means of palliating the sufferings of Nigerian masses.
She described the current economic situation in Nigeria as a phase that will surely pass in a short while, and that the policies being initiated by the federal government will serve as springboards for loftier economic prosperity for all Nigerians.
She said President Bola Tinubu is working tirelessly to bring a economic and attitudinal renaissance that will evolve a new Nigeria where things work as obtainable in the advanced climes.
In her words, “I know things are very tough, but the APC-led federal government under our father and leader , Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working assiduously to bring economic rebirth.
“This began with the removal of the fuel subsidy where some had hidden to scam Nigerians of billions of dollars yearly.
“The intention behind the action was to ensure that our money is used for the poor Nigerians and not for a few oil cartel. I am optimistic that the country will bounce back and stand firmly on its feet to bring the goodies that are due for our citizens in no distant time.
“So, I appeal to you, don’t curse your leaders, rather, pray for them to succeed. The present Nigeria under President Tinubu will succeed by bringing the expected economic prosperity to our doorsteps.
“Our Governor, Biodun Oyebanji had met with the leadership of the labour unions and very soon, we will roll out the palliatives that will cushion the effect of this economic policy on you. Don’t be despondent, have hope and faith in us. All shall be well by the grace of God.”
