President Tinubu admits he has no magic wand yet inflation would come down
Those who campaigned so that Bola Tinubu can become president also share the burden of keeping to his promises.
An inflation figure of 29.90 percent in January was the highest Nigeria has ever had but President Bola Tinubu is certain that he would bring it down.
The president assured the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council members he hosted for Ramadan Iftar dinner at the State House in Abuja that things would get better as he was already making visible efforts.
Although the cost of goods and services still remains high despite the Naira appreciating against other currencies, cheaper energy resources like diesel are certain to bring down expenses.
President Tinubu, speaking to his guests, says it is the hard job that you promised the people of Nigeria when you were campaigning for me; you promised them a good result. Didn’t you? That is it! I have to work for it. No magic wand.
I campaigned on hope, I have to rest on that hope, and push for that hope for the joy of every one of us.
The economy is looking good. Don’t worry about that. We know we have the challenge of inflation, it is okay, we will bring it down. We are reengineering, our revenue is getting better.
One of the factors that seems to have helped the president handle his huge tasks so far has been the home-grown talents in his cabinet that cater to the yearning of the youths.

The young people in Nigeria are are at least 60 percent of the country’s population and making them happy has been a priority for the president.
Not that we have to go there and hire them to do the job for us, we are doing it ourselves.
Whatever is happening to us, we have to solve it by ourselves. It is your effort, your thinking, your resourcefulness, your investment, your dedication and hard work that can only get us there.
