In a recent interview on a Channels Television program, former lawmaker Senator Daniel Bwala emphasized the importance of Nigerians adapting to the current economic situation in the country.
Bwala dismissed claims that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is indifferent to the challenges faced by Nigerians.
He highlighted that the hardship being experienced by Nigerians is not permanent, stressing the need for individuals to make necessary adjustments.
When reflecting on differing perspectives on the current state of affairs, Bwala stated, “Just like we would have water in the bottle, someone says it is half full another says it half empty. But what we should be generally looking at are the numbers. Also looking at the context and perspective from which we look at things.”
He further added, “Nobody, I think, is in doubt about the fact that when the President took that hard decision, which is a necessary decision, it is not a convenient decision, that there must be a temporary hardship; there must be a period like period of childbirth; there must be a period of inconveniences; there must be a period of personal sacrifices.”
Bwala emphasized the need for adjusting to difficult situations, stating, “When you are confronted with a period like that, what is required of you is adjustment, because they say trouble doesn’t always last. You will not be in that situation forever. But you will need to adjust. This is the basis of life.”
Regarding President Tinubu’s acknowledgment of the current challenges faced by Nigerians, Bwala noted, “I don’t think the President is denying the fact that this is a period in the lives of Nigerian people where things are hard. He has said it over and over again.”
