Hardship:” I understand that we are hungry, but no free beer parlour anymore” Tinubu tells Nigerians.

President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians to remain patient despite the high cost of living, stating that the country can no longer expect “a free bowl” without addressing its economic challenges

The President made this remark during a visit from former Nigerian lawmakers at the State House in Abuja on Friday.

Tinubu acknowledged the hunger in the country but emphasized that there is no “free beer parlour,” using the metaphor to highlight that real development requires time and effort.

He further stressed the need for the government to stay focused on nation-building and restructuring the country’s financial system.

Look at us. Agriculture that is the main thing. People say we are hungry.

Yes, I understand that. But we cannot just take a free bowl. We must work hard. We’ve sustained twenty-five years of democracy this year, we don’t want to keep the people hungry and angry. But we say be patient.

There is no free beer parlour anymore. We will retool and rebuild or nation through your cooperation,”Tinubu said.
