I Appreciate Tinubu For His Economic Reforms – Akpabio

Bola Tinubu

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has said that President Bola Tinubu has performed excellently well on economic reforms and security. He recently had his say after leading a delegation of Senate Principal Officers on a traditional Sallah homage to President Tinubu at his Lagos residence to celebrate Eid al-Kabir.

Hailing Tinubu’s economic overhauls, Akpabio emphasized the end of multiple exchange rates, false subsidies and future clauses that had drained Nigeria’s oil revenues.

Godswill concluded by highlighting the end of long fuel queues as one of the president’s most visible achievements.

His words, “We came here to felicitate the President and also wish him Baraka the Salah on this Eid-el-Kabir and to also pray for him for continuous good health and wisdom and pray for our nation, for those in captivity to be released and for peace to reign in Nigeria—not just now, throughout his tenure as President of the country and beyond.

We appreciate Mr. President for his reforms, which have done a lot to reposition Nigeria on the trajectory of growth, constrain the kind of economy that we met when he came on board in 2023.

It’s very difficult to grow a non-oil economy because what we met on ground, we had what they call future sells and we’re not making money on the crude oil that we produce because of future sells. And then we also had a situation of continuous expenses in the country as a result of what they call waste and means—which in a layman’s language, was expending money and printing money without earning income. He has stopped all that.

We met multiple exchange rates. He has stopped all that. We met a situation of false subsidies. He has stopped all that.

And we also appreciate the fact that in the last three years, he has brought the very long queues that people used to experience in filling stations to an end. And tangible things that people may not see.”

WOW.
