According to a report from Punch. Former Ondo State First Lady, Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has spoken out about the harsh economic realities facing Nigerians, asserting that only those benefiting from President Bola Tinubu’s administration can ignore the country’s struggles. Her remarks were shared during a recent interview.
Akeredolu emphasized that the economic challenges are obvious to everyone except those closely linked to the government. She stated that the rising cost of living has made it difficult for many Nigerians to afford basic necessities, with steep price hikes in food, fuel, and other essential goods.
“Only those benefiting would say that all is well,” she remarked, stressing that the suffering is evident and doesn’t require expert analysis.
She called for urgent government action to alleviate the burden on citizens and urged politicians to prioritize public welfare over personal gains. Akeredolu also encouraged leaders to be transparent about Nigeria’s situation and focus on real solutions instead of political rhetoric.
The former First Lady’s candid comments add to the growing calls for better economic management and immediate interventions to ease the hardship many Nigerians are experiencing.
