The senior spokesman to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Paul Ibe, has reminded Nigerians that President Bola Tinubu is fulfilling his promise of continuing from ex-president Muhammadu Buhari.
In an interview on Arise TV, Ibe recalled that Tinubu’s key promise to Nigerians was to take the path of former President Muhammadu Buhari, who some of his policies did not sit well with many Nigerians.
Ibe said Nigerians have been waiting for the magic Tinubu claimed to have done in Lagos.
He hinted that the current administration is doing “trial by error” on how to stabilize the economy.
“Where is his so-called economic team? What we’re seeing in the last nine months is trial by error. It’s a ‘kabu-kabu’ kind of economic policy…nothing seems to have changed. But again, let’s ask ourselves this question, what did Tinubu promise us?”
“Tinubu promised us he was going to follow the path of former President Muhammadu Buhari. And what was that path? Massive taking of loans, where loans were being taken to pay the interests for loans, Buhari was known for bigotry and nepotism… we thought we’d seen the worse. It is a continuation of Buhari’s policies,” he said.
He, however, stated that this is the time for the president to work hard to revive the economy.
He added, “The magic that led to his building Lagos, forgetting that Lagos had been a Federal Capital for donkey years. Had enjoyed resources and infrastructural development so I wonder where the claim that he built Lagos came from.
“So now is time for the hard work. Let him work. Where is the magic… attributed to him?”
