…urges Tinubu to urgently ameliorate suffering of Nigerians
By Haruna Salami
The senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu has called on Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu’s administration as it works to revive the country’s economy.
Speaking with the Senate Press Corps on Tuesday at National Assembly, Senator Kalu acknowledged the economic challenges facing Nigerians and urged them to give President Tinubu more time to implement reforms.
The former chief whip of the Senate and former governor of Abia State, expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s efforts to reposition the economy and restore its former strength.
“The reformations going on now have never happened in the last sixty years. No president, as I’m telling you, has the courage to do what President Tinubu is doing now. It is about courage. The man is very courageous. In fact, if I’m the president, what he is doing now to reform the economy, taking everything together, I may not do it”, he said.
Senator Kalu also appealed to President Tinubu and his economic team to quickly find immediate solutions to the suffering and hardship of Nigerians.
“I appeal to the President and his team to see how he can bring succumb quickly to the people of Nigeria. He has to do something today, not tomorrow because the condition of Nigerian people is not too good and I believe no President will want his people to suffer”, he said.
Reacting on the recent rumor of his death while abroad, Senator Kalu said there was nothing wrong with him, adding that he took permission from the Senate President to study at a particular University.
“There was nothing wrong with me. I took permission from the Senate President, about seven days before the Senate closed. I went to US for a little studies in one of the Universities. I paid for myself, not that anybody paid for me. I used the holiday period to do the courses in that University about democracy and the position of the economy. I did not die, I didn’t even go for any medical check up or anything at all”, Senator Kalu said.
