Tinubu’s economic policies not to make Nigerians suffer – Presidency to opposition

President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, has urged opposition leaders to acknowledge the President’s efforts to avert a potential economic crisis.

 

Onanuga said Tinubu’s economic reforms were not introduced to make Nigerians suffer but to address the financial challenges earlier predicted by former Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki.

 

He stated this in a post on X on Thursday, alongside a video of Obaseki warning about a looming financial crisis in the country.

 

Onanuga said Nigerians, including opposition leaders, should recognise the government’s efforts to prevent the predicted crisis through its economic reforms.

 

“My fellow Nigerians, please revisit former Governor Godwin Obaseki’s warning made several years ago about the country’s looming financial crisis,” he wrote.

 

“In light of that prediction, Nigerians, including opposition leaders, should acknowledge President Tinubu’s efforts to avert a potential economic catastrophe through his bold reforms.

 

“President Tinubu did not introduce the economic measures to make Nigerians suffer, but to steer the country away from the dire outcome Obaseki predicted and place the economy on a more sustainable path.”

 

Onanuga said the administration had done the difficult work of stabilising the economy, adding that its next focus would be on improving prosperity for Nigerians.

 

“President Tinubu has done the most difficult work by stabilising the economy. His next reform is about bringing prosperity to all Nigerians,” he added.
