Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu has said President Bola Tinubu is not to blame for the present economic crisis in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Kalu made this statement on Sunday after he feted orphans, widows, PWDs and the aged at his home in Abia State to celebrate his 53rd birthday.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Speaker responded to questions from reporters, explaining that Tinubu is making a lot of effort to correct the mistakes of the past administrations, which led to the present economic problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hardship we are passing through was not caused by this man. It\u2019s a piled-up case of previous administrations and how they mismanaged one or two things.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot continue to live in lies thinking that all is well. Tinubu wants to clean up the place so that we can have a sustainable livelihood. Let\u2019s keep supporting and encouraging him,\u201d Kalu said.<\/p>\n

He also foresaw a better future for the nation following the present unrest, urging Nigerians to maintain faith in the nation\u2019s current leadership instead of giving up.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Speaker claimed that hoarding wealth or living in luxury while others were impoverished amounted to cruelty.<\/p>\n

According to him: \u201cWhat is the essence of keeping things in the warehouse when there is hunger in the land? What is the essence of keeping things until the election periods?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not interested in the political party or faith. I\u2019m interested in the colour of humanity which is: if you are up, extend your hands to those who are down.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s spread love, peace and unity, showing others that we care irrespective of their background or political affiliation.\u201d<\/p>\n
