President Bola Tinubu has admitted that the economic reforms introduced by his administration have been difficult for Nigerians and himself personally, saying the policies have cost him sleep and weight over the past three years.

Tinubu made the remarks in Abuja shortly after emerging as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the 2027 election.

Speaking at the Bola Tinubu International Conference Centre after securing victory in the party’s presidential primary with 10,999,162 votes, Tinubu said he understands the hardship many citizens have endured since the introduction of wide-ranging fiscal and economic reforms.
