Nigerians have been urged to stomach the current social and economic problem they are coping with like pregnant women.
According to Hon Femi Gbajabiamila a former Speaker of the House of Representative and presently Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, the economic reforms embarked upon by his boss will yield results and Nigerians will smile like a woman who had just given birth.
Speaking Saturday during the All Progressive Congress presidential primaries in Lagos, Hon Gbajabiamila said: “Like the President has always said, it’s like the birth pains of a pregnant woman.
“For eight or nine months, you’re pregnant, you’re uncomfortable, there’s a lot of discomfort, you’re in pain sometimes.
“But at the end of the day, when you deliver that child, all those pains are forgotten.”
Despite nationwide outrage at the policies of President Tinubu toward the economy and security Gbajabiamila maintained that Tinubu is popular to win another term in office.
“This crowd is out here for one reason and one reason only.
“To express their love, to express their desire for continuity for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to continue as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for the next four years.
“And you can see the crowd, overwhelming, and we are grateful, we are grateful.
“It turns out there are large numbers because of the good work of this government and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. That’s why they are here,” he said.
