Activist Aisha Yesufu has criticised World Trade Organization Director-General, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, over her remarks commending President Bola Tinubu for stabilising Nigeria’s economy.

In a post on X on Sunday, Yesufu questioned why Nigerians should give Tinubu credit for stabilising what she described as an economy he had destabilised.

She argued that the economy has yet to return to the level it was before Tinubu assumed office, adding that the claim of stability would only make sense if the president had inherited a worse situation.


Yesufu said Nigerians were being asked to commend Tinubu for “stabilising his own mess,” insisting the country’s economic state remains far from recovery.

She said: “First of all, she started by telling Nigerians that they should give Mr. Tinubu credit for stabilising an economy he destabilised and has not even taken to the bad state it was in before he came in.

“Give credit to someone that threw the economy into an unprecedented bad state because he was now stabilising his mess? What is the stability being compared to?


“If Mr Tinubu had met the economy worse off and there was now stability, then her statement would make sense. The economy is still not back to where it was when he snatched power from Buhari. Is it? So what credit are Nigerians supposed to give?”

sioniboy:
If you want to criticize, do it sensibly and logically, you can't just be throwing abuses upandown and expect sensible people to respect your opinion. Both President Tinubu and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala are not your mates. What does she even know about economy? Fake activist trying to sound informed. Abeg shut up pls 🤫

Aisha refused to be making sense again

The economy that have been down for years, or did it start 2 years ago

Poor her. Some of the opposition only need wings so that they can fly properly as a witch.

Same people blamed President Tinubu when the economy was down even though he didn't start it, yet they couldn't commend when the same economy improved

The opposition from hell

Ignoramus set of brains? Does she knew what it meant by subsidy removal and floating of FX?

Okoroawusa:
So it has reached the level that Aisha Yesufu will be correcting NOI on economic policies?

Na wa o!

Godfullsam:
In what way(s) has the economy improved under tinubu?

Let us know so that we can commend him.
Have we stopped borrowing?
Have we tamed corruption?
Have inflation reduced in real life? Inflation only reduced on paper under tinubu.
What about security?
What about our exchange rate?
Tell us why we should commend tinubu with hunger and insecurity.

ElSudani:
She must make that mental gymnastics in order not to look like a complete lunatic.
Imagine Aisha Yusufu faulting the judgement of Okonjo Iweala.
At what level was the economy when Tinubu came in? When subsidy could no longer be sustained through borrowing? When the economy was on the cliff about to tip over?

Godfullsam:
The main motive behind the subsidy removal on fuel and floatation of FX was to make more funds available for capital expenditure and projects instead of borrowing.

The big question is, are we still borrowing or not?

If we are still borrowing despite subsidy removal, it means the core purpose of subsidy removal has been defeated.

helinues:
Their chronic bitterness about Nigeria's progress is legendary

helinues:
Productive people are the one already feeling the Nigeria economic improvement. If you are not, no amount of explanation can make sense to you

Godfullsam:
Everybody is productive, even a street sweeper is productive. I can school you about production.

I know your own meaning of productive people are those into manufacturing. Production is way beyond that...
