President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has told Nigerians that the current economic hardship will soon give way to stability and prosperity, likening the experience to the pain of undergoing a life-saving surgery. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The President made the remarks on Friday at the coronation of the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, held at Mapo Hall, Ibadan, Oyo State.

“The Economy Has Turned the Corner”

Addressing dignitaries, traditional rulers, and residents gathered for the historic occasion, Tinubu said his administration’s reforms had pulled Nigeria back from the brink of economic collapse.

“To many of you here present, today I am honoured and very proud to give you the cheering news that the economy has turned the corner. There is a bright light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.

The President compared the hardship Nigerians face to the pain of a surgical procedure:

“Your suffering is the pain of a painful surgery. But it is now returned to the moment of growth and prosperity waiting for us ahead. Thank you for your perseverance. Thank you for your endurance.”

He stressed that the difficulties are temporary sacrifices that will lead to recovery and long-term growth.
Olubadan Appeals for Ibadan State Creation

During the same event, the new Olubadan, Oba Ladoja, made a direct appeal to Tinubu to approve the creation of Ibadan State before 2027.

Delivering his message in Yoruba, the monarch said:

“My people sent me a message to Mr President. Mr President, they said the creation of Ibadan State is their priority.”

The appeal came moments after the monarch received his staff and instrument of office in front of prominent dignitaries, including Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
