A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Osun State, Chief Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has appealed to Nigerians not to give up on the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

Mr Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council, made the appeal while speaking with journalists in Osogbo on Sunday. He described Mr Tinubu as a “true democrat”, who will fulfil all his electoral promises to Nigerians.

Mr Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker, said that the various economic policies by the President, such as fuel subsidy removal, unification of the naira, among others, which look like pain, were the foundation upon which a prosperous Nigeria would be built. The APC chieftain said, although it was obvious that Nigerians were presently experiencing economic hardship, they should be hopeful for a better and prosperous future.

“There is no doubt that Nigerians are facing hard times but this is not deliberate or a sign of failure on the part of the President. For us to enjoy a prosperous Nigeria, we must be ready to sacrifice a little and that is what is currently happening. Mr President meant well for Nigerians.

He will not gain anything by deliberately inflicting pains on Nigerians. All the economic policies put in place by the President that look like pain are actually meant to strengthen our economy. Don’t give up on the president. He will do better and he will continue to improve on the welfare of Nigerians,” he said.

According to Mr Oyintiloye, Mr Tinubu inherited a bad economy when he came to power, fixing it for the overall benefit of Nigerians requires patience. The APC chieftain, however, said that the various interventions the President had put in place, were part of the efforts towards revitalising the country’s economy.

He said that this would be achieved through the prioritisation of key areas such as agriculture, a robust market system, quality healthcare, education, improved electricity and tackling corruption.

“Government will continue to strengthen our economy by investing in industries and promoting local production; developing the agricultural value chain, which will help reduce our dependence on imports and crude oil,” he said.

Mr Oyintiloye, however, appealed to leaders of the opposition parties to guard against utterances and narratives capable of polarising the country.

"The Nigerian economy is currently witnessing one of its lowest dips, as its GDP has recorded a downward spiral, now close to what it was in 1999. Data showed that from 2006 to 2010, Nigeria’s economy only ranked between the 30th and 34th in the world, at $222.79 billion, $262.22 billion, $297.46 billion and $369.06 billion, respectively.

Meanwhile, on Thursday, Bloomberg reported that Nigeria was set to lose its place as Africa’s largest economy following several depreciation bouts of the naira and the rising cost of living. The report stated that Nigeria’s GDP was projected to take the fourth place, behind Algeria at $267 billion, Egypt at $348 billion and South Africa at $373 billion, by 2027.

Nigeria’s economy have been weakened by some of President Bola Tinubu’s decisions, particularly fuel subsidy removal, a power tariff hike and the floating of the naira. “Despite a recent rebound, the naira is still 50% weaker against the greenback than what it was prior to him taking office after two currency devaluations....."
