A Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC), and the party's Senatorial Candidate in Enugu North Senatorial District in the last general elections, Amb Ejike Eze, has said that President Bola Tinubu's administration has stabilised Nigeria’s economy for growth and national development.
Eze, a retired career diplomat and former Senior Special Assistant on Protocols and Security to former President Olusegun Obasanjo said this in Enugu on Friday in an interview with newsmen.
He said that the president's administration through its programmatic policies and programs has turned around and stabilised the dwindled nation's economy for growth and national development, pointing out that Tinubu deserves to be reelected in 2027 to continue his economic developmental programs for the country.
"President Tinubu has stabilised Nigeria's economy for growth and national development through his people-oriented policies and programs.
"For us in APC and most Nigerians, it is 4+4 for Tinubu, and we can give you the reason why we want him to be re-elected in 2027 and continue his second tenure.
"The president laid the foundation for the real economic development in Nigeria with the implementation of the Economic Stabilisation Programme and the Presidential Economic Coordination Council which focused on food security, improved power supply, social welfare, and increased energy production.
"Recent reports have shown that prices of food items have witnessed a significant drop across the country, thanks to President Tinubu's sincere approach and determination to turn around the economy,
"Therefore, re-electing President Tinubu come 2027 will be imperative for Nigeria's economic progress and consolidation," he said.
The APC chieftain commended Tinubu’s giant strides in infrastructure and urged Nigerians to continue to support the President in order to sustain the achievements recorded so far.
Eze said further that the nation's economy was on the brink of collapse when Tinubu took over from the previous administration and noted that almost all sectors of the economy have witnessed a commendable turnaround.
He highlighted some of the laudable steps taken by Tinubu's administration that enhanced stabilisation of Nigeria’s economy to include; paying off of IMF loan, injecting the money saved from fuel subsidy removal into the economy to the benefit of all Nigerians, among others.
"Yes, Nigeria’s per capita income might still be low, but there will be light at the end of the tunnel because Tinubu's administration has set machinery in motion that would drive inclusive growth and long-term economic stability.
"I commend the administration for implementing critical reforms that have stabilised Nigeria’s economy," he said.
