Ajuri Ngalale, President Bola Tinubu’s official spokesperson and special adviser to the President on media and publicity, has assured Nigerians that Tinubu is working round the clock to improve their lot.
Tinubu extended the reign of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, with his election victory in February 2023 after promising to improve the livelihoods of the country’s more than 200 million people.
He has implemented a series of wide-ranging reforms aimed at revitalising growth in Nigeria since taking office in May 2023. But the reforms, including scrapping a petrol subsidy have not had the intended effects. They instead pushed up the price of fuel, food items, goods and cost of transportation, and weakened the naira.
Amid the escalating challenges and frustrations of Nigerians, Ngalale wants Nigerians to “hang in there.” He says he can “see an end” to the misery. “I’m asking Nigerians to support the President, he means well. He is doing the work,” the presidential spokesman added during an interview on Thursday.
