"It is an undeniable fact that President Tinubu has indicated that he has a clear understanding of the challenges facing Nigeria especially in the area of economy and he has taken some measures to provide solutions.
"However, these measures are not expected to work like magic since the challenges did not come today or yesterday.
"What I am implying here is that it would take some time for the economy of our dear country to take proper shape and while we are waiting for the measures to become efficacious, we would have to endure certain things revolving around high cost of goods and services, inflation, foreign exchange instability among others."
"Cooperate with Mr President", APC chieftain appeals to Labour, Nigerians

He however urged the Nigerain Labour Congres (NLC), the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and Nigerians to work with the president for the progress of the country.
"The good thing is that the present administration is moving in the right direction and we just have to show understanding and also cooperate with Mr. President while we are imploring him and his team to ensure that certain actions are taken to mitigate the effects of the hard measures being put in place to guarantee comfort in the end," Sadare stated.
