Former lawmaker, Senator Daniel Bwala, says Nigerians need to adjust to the current economic realities in the country.
He stated this on Wednesday while fielding questions on Channels Television programme.
Bwala disagreed with the claim that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
According to him, Nigerians will not be in hardship situation forever, adding that they will need to adjust.
He said: “It depends on who is assessing, what is the motive behind the assessment. Just like we would have water in the bottle, someone says it is half full another says it half empty. But what we should be generally looking at are the numbers. Also looking at the context and perspective from which we look at things.
“Nobody, I think, is in doubt about the fact that when the President took that hard decision, which is a necessary decision, it is not a convenient decision, that there must be a temporary hardship; there must be a period like period of childbirth; there must be a period of inconveniences; there must be a period of personal sacrifices. When you are confronted with a period like that, what is required of you is adjustment, because they say trouble doesn’t always last. You will not be in that situation forever. But you will need to adjust. This is the basis of life.”
“I don’t think the President is denying the fact that this is a period in the lives of Nigerian people where things are hard. He has said it over and over again.”
