The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

Like seriously datti is showing more intellectual intelligence than obi n his crew, this man is saying reality like it ought to b.

Without emotions, wike is PDP karma.

For the first time in the history of Politics, Atiku is just building for the first time in his life.

He's always running to Dubai after every election but today he deemed it fit to build cos wike gave him a dose of his medicine

The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

For the first time in the history of Politics, Atiku is just building for the first time in his life.

He's always running to Dubai after every election but today he deemed it fit to build cos wike gave him a dose of his medicine

Last last Nahin go be the national chairman of PDP

One man doesn't build a party.

And Atiku was one of the people who built PDP pre 1999.

Shimbo96:
bro do you really believe that news?

Tupacx:
Go and rest, school no be scam. You don't understand the post.

He is wiser than Obi.

He is an Hausa man and he is pointing out that what Atiku and Tambuwal did is open backstabbing to Wike. What that implies is... the same people are in ADC and they would do the same to Obi.

ddippset:
Is Dattijo really telling us he's not aware that Wike hijacked the Obi/Datti votes they got in Rivers State in 2023?

LordBillionz:
Personally ,I am not against his stance as what happened to PDP. He did his best to sustain the party when Atiku and co left to APC to unseat Jonathan, he fought his way and ensured the survival of the party during the time of Of Buhari.

When Atiku came back, and when it was the turn of the South for presidency, the northerners backed Atiku against him. As a human, it was unfair and I support him and all he did to unsettle the PDP thereafter.

But, with his antecedents since then, I can say that we indeed dodged a bullet in a President Wike, people for see nwii.

Landmaq:
Wetin concern me with Obi? Political position is nobody's birthright. As long as he was not rigged out - which obviously he was not, he should dust himself up and accept defeat. Is Tambuwal obliged to vote for him? No.

He lost clean and square. Went ahead to rig for another in Rivers - in broad daylight. That right there is evil and not good for Nigeria's Political system. After election material is collated, use military to hijack electoral material, rewrite it and announce the fake one. That's desperation of the highest order

WesleyPepper:
Datti is above Obi intellectually. Datti has a pHD in Economics from a UK university unlike the 3rd class philosophy graduate from UNN.

The same 3rd class degree Obi was so ashamed of including amongst his educational credentials for the INEC registration during the 2023 election.

Obi put his WASSCE as his highest certificate in 2023. Go and verify
In sane societies, Datti should never deputize someone like Obi . If anything, it should be the other way .

PS :

Datti is trying so much to appear different and idealistic these days .
Anytime I want to believe and trust him , I just remember he also stole an election in the past and his school gave the unserious Dino Melaye a law degree in 3 years .
