Former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose has urged President Bola Tinubu to intensify efforts to ease the economic hardship Nigerians face, stating that while the administration may be working hard, it’s not enough to address the pressing challenges.
“It’s not been too easy, that is the truth for Nigerians,” Fayose told Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
He added, “This government is naturally giving their best, but their best still needs to be upped.”
Fayose acknowledged that Nigerians are struggling with inflation and increased fuel costs, adding to the burden.

While he noted that the government might require more time, he underscored the urgency for visible economic improvements.
“If you say they need time, people will begin to question…what time do they need?” Fayose said, urging the administration to step up relief measures.
Economic analysts have raised concerns about the impact of Tinubu’s monetary policies, particularly on inflation and fuel prices, which many say have intensified the financial strain on citizens.
Fayose hoped that the economic climate would eventually improve with consistent efforts, but he remained cautious about how long citizens could wait for relief.
Amid rising calls for decisive action, Fayose’s comments underscore the growing public pressure on Tinubu’s government to address the worsening economic conditions.
