Can 33 Nigerian Govs Be Wrong Choosing Tinubu?
By
Bayo Onanuga
TV anchors keep pushing the opposition’s narrative that nothing has changed, positively, indeed, massively, since 2023.
Their position has become so ridiculous that they keep parroting the old narrative, and now they question the NBS data on receding inflation.
I will advise them to revisit the markets. Food prices are crashing. The favourite rice that at a time was selling for N120k a bag has crashed below N50k. In my hometown, a bag now sells for N45K.
Under President Tinubu, Nigeria is making tremendous progress.
Thirty-three governors cannot be wrong in casting their support for President Tinubu.
Our reserves are close to $60 billion. Nigerians are now able to use their Naira cards abroad, something that was impossible before Tinubu’s presidency. Businesspeople can now buy the forex they need to import raw materials and equipment.
Investors are coming back, not mainly as portfolio investors, as some anchors claim, even though Nigerians dominate the stock market, accounting for almost 90 per cent. These investors belong in the category of FDI. They bring money into our economy and create jobs.
These facts are clear to anyone not blinded by partisanship and hatred for the leader who has laid a solid foundation for the economy and is poised to take the nation to a higher level of shared prosperity.
