The Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, has acknowledged the economic difficulties facing Nigerians, saying nobody should pretend that life is easy in the country at the moment.
Gbajabiamila’s remark comes amid continued concerns over the rising cost of living and the financial pressures confronting many Nigerian households.
He reportedly admitted that the current economic situation has placed significant pressure on citizens, stressing the need to recognise the realities Nigerians are experiencing rather than dismissing their struggles.
Gbajabiamila made the remarks on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, in Abuja, during the unveiling of the All Progressives Congress (APC) 2027–2031 manifesto, titled From Reforms to Prosperity.
He specifically acknowledged that the removal of petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange system had placed considerable pressure on households across the country.
However, he defended President Tinubu’s decisions, arguing that the reforms were necessary to address longstanding economic challenges and protect Nigeria’s long-term economic future.
He maintained that the success of the reforms would ultimately depend on whether they translate into better living conditions and tangible benefits for ordinary Nigerians.
The APC Chief of Staff also urged party members to engage Nigerians, explain the administration’s policies and earn public support through their performance ahead of the 2027 general elections.
