Amidst the ongoing nationwide protests, the member representing Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Clement Jimbo, has called on Nigerians to remain hopeful and trust in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's ability to deliver on his Renewed Hope Agenda.

Speaking during a live broadcast on Channels TV's flagship programme, Sunrise Daily, on Friday morning, Jimbo, one of the youngest lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly, reassured Nigerians that the current economic turbulence, exacerbated by the removal of fuel subsidies, would soon be resolved through the strategic measures the President has initiated.

Commenting on the current protests, he noted, “The #EndSARS protest for instance, had a specific focus on police brutality and achieved its purpose. However, the #EndBadGovernance protest is more open-ended, making it challenging to address directly.”

While acknowledging that protests serve as a wake-up call for those in governance, signaling that all is not well, "the Youth Slot," as he is fondly called by his supporters and netizens, emphasized that the Tinubu administration is taking significant steps to address the concerns raised by the protesters.

Drawing an analogy, the 41-year-old lawmaker stated: "I look at the current scenario like a man who got married, and for whatever reason, his wife passed away, they divorced, or they separated. But before that happened, they had children, and the man had to bring in another wife. The new person coming into the house will obviously need to understand how the household operates; how the children are, and how things have been done. It's the same thing with government.”

The Deputy Chairman of the House Committee on National Planning and Economic Development observed that this was the first administration in Nigeria's history operating without a fuel subsidy. He urged Nigerians to give President Tinubu the time needed to roll out his people-centric policies, assuring that they would lead the nation to prosperity.

Responding to a question, Hon. Jimbo argued that no policy in President Tinubu's 'Renewed Hope' Agenda could be labeled as "bad governance."

He pointed out that the budget inherited by the President, as passed by the National Assembly, did not include provisions for fuel subsidies, observing that it left the President with no choice but to act decisively upon taking office.

There are reports that the fuel subsidy primarily benefited a select few; however, the graduate of Quantity Survey hinted that the country was borrowing money to pay for the subsidies, comparing it to a father who borrows heavily to give his children a luxurious lifestyle without them knowing about the mounting debt, referring to it as a ticking time bomb.

Meanwhile, Hon. Jimbo has stated that Nigeria is on the brink of a season of abundance. He cited the President's massive investments in agriculture and other sectors, revealing that an agreement has been signed to produce over 10,000 tractors for mechanized farming across the country. He assured that these efforts would soon yield ample food and other essential items for all Nigerians.

As the nation navigates these challenging times, the Abak/Etim Ekpo/Ika Federal Lawmaker urged citizens to be patient, remain patriotic, and continue to love one another, stressing that the Renewed Hope of President Bola Tinubu will soon lead to economic stability and growth.

Hon. Clement Jimbo is spot on! Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda is just what Nigeria needs to navigate these turbulent waters. The focus on agriculture and the strategic investments being made will surely pay off. Let's give our president the time and support he needs to bring about the positive change we all desire. Together, we will rise!

They will soon knock sense into his brain like that fella down north was preaching a false gospel about non-feasible and non-palpable achievements of the failed disastrous druggie government. A president that is doing well wins the confidence of the citizens. He does not need to beg for it.

Can't trust Tinubu that knew Buhari was a disaster but still went ahead to package him for us, and watch him crumble the Economy for 4 +another 4years, just because of his selfish emilokan ambition.

With 13.5 Million Naira per month salary and 160 Million Naira SUV, they will defend the devil himself.

This sycophant better not go to north and preach tinubu if he like his life o

Hon. Jimbo is spot on! The Renewed Hope Agenda is exactly what Nigeria needs right now. With strategic investments in agriculture and a commitment to ending the fuel subsidy, we are on the right path. Patience and trust in Tinubu will yield great results for all of us.
