Doyin Okupe, Former Director-General Of Peter Obi’s 2023 Presidential Campaign Council, Has Criticized Those Judging The Tinubu Administration’s Economic Policies Just 18 Months Into Its Tenure, Describing Such Actions As Unfair.
Speaking On Arise TV, Okupe Praised President Bola Tinubu For Implementing Reforms Aimed At Stabilizing Nigeria’s Economy And Preventing The Naira From Losing Its Value, As Seen With Zimbabwe’s Currency. He Contrasted Tinubu’s Approach With The Previous Buhari Administration, Which He Claimed Resorted To Printing Money To Keep The Economy Afloat, Leaving Nigerians In A More Precarious State.
Okupe Highlighted Tinubu’s Decision To Move Away From Cosmetic Fixes, Opting Instead For Tough But Necessary Reforms That He Believes Will Ultimately Improve The Lives Of Nigerians.
According To Him; “I Heard People Complain That The Dollar Is N1,700; It Could Have Been Worse, It Could Have Been N17,000. That Fuel Is N1,000; It Could Have Been Worse; It Could Have Been N3,000 Or N4,000 Per Liter If These Reforms Had Not Been In Place And Has Checked The Escalating Hyperinflation In Which We Entered Into. It Is Wholesomely Unfair And I Am Almost Tempted To Say Wicked For Anybody To Judge This Administration After Eighteen Months”
