Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has mentioned that the economy handed over to President Bola Tinubu was on the verge of collapse, News About Nigeria reports.
In a recent interview on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics, Abiodun commended Tinubu’s administration, stating that it boldly addressed the challenges facing Nigeria upon assuming power.
Governor Abiodun expressed admiration for the audacity of the Tinubu-led administration, describing it as one that has taken decisive steps unprecedented in Nigeria’s history.
He acknowledged President Tinubu’s accomplishments, citing the deregulation of the petroleum industry as a bold move aimed at benefiting Nigerians.
The governor urged patience from the Nigerian populace, expressing confidence that the administration is resolute in overcoming the challenges confronting the nation.
“The President Tinubu-led administration has been very bold and audacious.
“They’ve taken the bull by the horns. They’ve done what no government has done in the history of Nigeria.
“President Tinubu has been able to do what no president has ever been able to do in the history of Nigeria.
“President Tinubu deregulated the petroleum industry to save Nigerians.”
Governor Abiodun highlighted Tinubu’s unique qualifications, emphasising his experience as a former governor, senator, and accountant.
“You know our President, besides being a former governor and a senator, he is also an accountant.
“So, he is someone who is very spot on and all hands are on deck to turn this economy around. We are very hopeful and we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.”
News About Nigeria reported that Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra State said that Tinubu’s administration inherited what he termed a ‘dead economy’ from its predecessors.
“From a macroeconomic point of view, this government inherited a dead horse that was still standing, and people didn’t know it was dead,” said Soludo, who is a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
