Economic Challenges Ahead: Former Governor Defends President's Policies
Nyesom Wike, former Governor of Rivers State, has revealed that President Bola Tinubu inherited a severely struggling economy when he took office. Speaking on Channels Television's "Politics Today" program, Wike stated that "Bola Tinubu took over a dead economy; Nigeria was about to be buried".
According to Wike, the removal of fuel subsidies was necessary to prevent further financial burden on the government. He emphasized that the President's economic policies are aimed at stabilizing the economy and promoting growth. Wike's comments come amid criticisms of Tinubu's economic decisions, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the Naira.
The former Governor's remarks have sparked a national debate, with many Nigerians weighing in on the impact of Tinubu's economic policies on their lives. While some have praised the President's bold decisions, others have criticized the government's handling of the economy.
Wike's defense of Tinubu's policies has been seen as a vote of confidence in the President's ability to steer the economy towards growth and stability. As the nation waits with bated breath, it remains to be seen how Tinubu's economic policies will shape the future of Nigeria.
