Chief Femi Majekodunmi, an All Progressives Congress chieftain from Ogun State, says the wave of defections to the ruling party underscores President Bola Tinubu’s wisdom, diligence, and administrative competence. He commends the president for taking bold decisions to stabilise the economy and tackle longstanding challenges since assuming office two and a half years ago. Majekodunmi assesses the administration’s reforms, economic policies, and political realignments, while also reflecting on governance at the federal and state levels. Bennett Oghifo presents excerpts:
Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, at a recent book launch in Abuja, described the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the worst in the history of Nigeria. Does that reflect the current situation of the country?
Definitely, that is not true. There are many indicators, worldwide now, recognising the efforts of the President in improving the economic situation of the country. World Bank has spoken. International Monetary Fund (IMF) has spoken, that the economy is improving. The administration, when it concerns the micro-economy of this country, of course, the main problem that affects the common man is still there, but with the improvement going on, the indices are showing improvements. We expect all these things would positively affect the common man later. The common man is definitely going to benefit. Many of the higher prices of food items are going down, gradually; though probably, slowly, they are going down. To say Tinubu is the worst he has seen is very uncharitable. Like I said earlier, it is not true.
