Former President of Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), Dr Olisa Agbakoba (SAN) has described the President Bola Tinubu-led administration as the toughest in history of Nigeria.

This comes on heels of the backlash he received following media blackout on the Chicago State University, CSU, certificate saga of Tinubu pending the Supreme Court decision on the matter.

Agbakoba, in a recent interview with Vanguard, decried the hike in food prices as a result of the subsidy removal by the Tinubu-led administration.

According to him, Tinubu has a lot of controversies to contend with: The socio-economic crisis occasioned by the policy of subsidy removal, the unified single exchange rate, the threat by the Labour Congress to shut down the country, the struggle to provide palliatives to calm frayed nerves, and now the issue of credibility as a result of the Chicago State Certificate saga.

“President Tinubu has taken on a very challenging assignment. Let us assume that President Tinubu is the captain of an aircraft. Tinubu takes off from the runway; he has to climb out to a particular altitude. You know, in climbing, some pilots have a very smooth climb, while others have very turbulent climbing. Tinubu has been contending with two major headwinds.

“One is the issue of the removal of subsidies, and another is the exchange control issue. How he handles them will depend on his skills as a pilot. But the climbing is very difficult.

“When you are climbing out and you hit the headwind, you have to be in full focus. So, the climb-out has been extremely tough.

“There is no doubt about it. What I think is that he ought to be using full power because when a pilot is climbing, he has the power to trot. What I see Captain Tinubu doing at this stage is using only 50 percent of his throttle power.

“He needs to push that throttle to the limit so that the climb-out can be great. I will say that the turbulence will continue until the Supreme Court makes its final decision.

“What is obvious is that Nigerians have to go through a very tough time. It has been the toughest time in the history of this country since independence, as garri, rice, vegetables, and other staple foods are way out of the reach of the common man,” he said.

Nothing good comes easy.

But las las, we will come out victorious. No matter what Labourers and atikulators try to do to distract this government, we are focused to make sure every citizen of this country will be happy to call Nigeria home.

We will give in our all both Sacrifices and commitments for the greater good of the nation.

Tinubu has started well and it is no doubt he will perform excellently well. For those who don't want him as a President, they are free to go to Chicago.

Goodluck Tinubu. You will surely make Nigeria extremely great.

which kind of enjoyment is that? Inflation of food commodities are unbearable in the markets. Tinubu destroyed Nigeria economy no be small.

Funny how same creatures who said Tinubu supporters are poverty-stricken dying of hunger turn out to be the ones crying all over social media, radio and television stations everyday.

One hungry mofo will soon ask if I have eaten for the past 100 years, yet cries more than anyone else.

Ipob terrorists are fools.

no enjoyment in Tinubu government joor. It’s suffering and smiling

Renewed shege na your mate?

Ok

It is the worst and nothing will change that.
When we started to talk on the hardship occasioned by PMB government, they labeled us IPOB and wailers that it was still early days and that it would eventually get better. It will only get worse with this drug lord that is only out to compensate those who helped to rig him to power.

Buhaari said we will miss him, I never knew what he meant, untill tinubu enter, Nia my eyes clear

I think in terms of the economy, Tinubu and Babangida are the 2 rulers who have faced the toughest economies.

Babangida took over after 4 years of recession. Tinubu took over from the Buhari's government after thoroughly grounding it and leaving it chronically indebted when you factor in debt sustainability.

una just dey start

He said "emilokan".

Fr mhen, ive been drinking every single day since Tinubu took over , pressure too much for man. God pls intercede

Bullshit. Yakubu Gowon faced even greater challenges and he wasn't even prepared for it. Tinubu should stop making excuses and live up to his responsibilities.

Lmaooo Tinubu and his team have zero idea what to do

All there ideas were exhausted in the first two weeks and it failed woefully

Now they are doing try and erro

Most of those who are saying endure pain now and enjoy later should be stripped of whatever represents their comfortability and see how it feels to endure pain.APC has set Nigeria backwards by more than two decades.

He said he can!

Useless government. The same people who attacked g.e.j when all things were 1/4 of their current prices are same persona defending APC when inflation increased by 400%, even explaining foreign reserves and preserving money for subsidy for other projects, as if APC can execute projects with the"saved naira"
