The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has admitted that Nigerians are facing economic hardship amid the government’s reforms, saying nobody should pretend that life is easy.
He spoke in Abuja at the unveiling of Tinubu’s re-election blueprint, where he defended the President’s decision to remove fuel subsidies and reform the foreign exchange system.
He said, “In 2023, President Bola Tinubu took responsibility for a country facing problems that could no longer be deferred. He confronted the subsidy burden and a distorted foreign exchange system. He chose to begin difficult repairs whose benefits would take time to reach everyone.
“Those decisions have now placed real pressure on households. We must speak honestly about that experience because the people living through it deserve to be heard. Nobody should have to pretend that life is easy at the moment.
“Our mission in government is to make these decisions less frightening for the millions of young people and families across the country.”
Describing the administration’s manifesto as “a contract between the people and their leaders,” Gbajabiamila said every Nigerian deserved a fair opportunity to benefit from the country’s prosperity.

“A public hospital, for instance, should never need to know which political party you voted for before treating you. These are the expectations by which this manifesto asks to be judged,” he said.
He maintained that delaying economic reforms would have weakened Nigeria’s ability to invest in the future.
He added, “The difference between a politician and a leader is that while a politician thinks about the next election, a leader thinks about the next generation. And that is exactly what President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated.”
