By Ayodele Adesanmi
Ekiti State deputy governor, Chief (Mrs.) Monisade Afuye, has given the assurance that despite the current experienced by Nigerians due to fuel subsidy removal, the country will be a better place to live under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
She told Nigerians not to despair over the current economic hardship having a scorching effect on them, assuring that President Tinubu was desperately contriving means of palliating the sufferings of the Nigerian masses.
The deputy governor described the current economic situation in Nigeria as a phase that would surely pass in a short while, adding that the policies being initiated by the Federal Government would serve as springboards for loftier economic prosperity for all Nigerians.
According to a statement by her media aide, Victor Ogunje, made available to journalists on Monday, Mrs. Afuye spoke on Sunday at a church service marking the 12th anniversary of God of Fire Pentecostal Ministry, Ido-Ekiti, Ido/Osi Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
Addressing the congregation, Afuye said Nigeria was currently undergoing a process through which a new glory was about to manifest and the people would smile again and give glory to God.
She said President Tinubu was working tirelessly to bring an economic and attitudinal renaissance that would evolve a new Nigeria “where things work as obtainable in the advanced climes.”
“I know things are very tough; but the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government, under our father and leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is working assiduously to bring economic rebirth.
“This began with the removal of the fuel subsidy under which some had hidden to scam Nigerians of billions of dollars yearly. The intention behind the action is to ensure that our money is used for the poor Nigerians and not for a few oil cartels.
“I am optimistic that the country will bounce back and stand firmly on its feet to bring the goodies that are due for our citizens in no distant time.
“So, I appeal to you, don’t curse your leaders; rather, pray for them to succeed. The present Nigeria, under President Tinubu, will succeed by bringing the expected economic prosperity to our doorsteps,” she said.

Mrs. Afuye also appealed to Ekiti citizens to pray for Governor Biodun Oyebanji and support all the policies of government for his administration to succeed and become a beacon and model to other states of the federation.
“Our Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has met with the leadership of the labour unions and very soon, we will roll out the palliatives that will cushion the effect of this economic policy on you.
“Don’t be despondent; have hope and faith in us. All shall be well by the grace of God,” she added, urging the church members to always join hands with the prophet for the progress of the church and continually pray for Ekiti State and Nigeria at large.
