He is a street person. He knows the street very well,\u201d Kalu said, emphasising Tinubu\u2019s understanding of the economic hardship affecting the country.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kalu, the president sometimes takes to the streets in his car at night to observe the situation firsthand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is not a president that is locked in a hole. He is not a president who does not know what is going on. Whether there are kidnappings or not, he goes around with one or two cars,\u201d Kalu remarked.<\/p>\n<p>The senator acknowledged that while the current economic difficulties have impacted many Nigerians, the problem is not unique to the country.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed out that global economic challenges are affecting nations worldwide, but reassured citizens that the government is actively working to reform the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me be honest; I know things have not been the way they are supposed to be. The economy has not been so friendly. This economic problem is going on almost everywhere in the world,\u201d Kalu stated.<\/p>\n<p>He urged Nigerians to remain patient, as the government\u2019s reforms, though painful, are aimed at long-term economic recovery.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Orji Kalu, representing Abia North, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu personally moves around Abuja at night to assess the living conditions of Nigerians amidst the ongoing economic challenges.&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":113362,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
