Abiodun commends Tinubu, endorses President’s second term

Prince Dapo Abiodun, Ogun State Governor, has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold decisions that has shaped the Nigerian economy.

While speaking at the Expanded Stakeholders Strategic Meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held in Abeokuta, Abiodun commended Tinubu’s leadership, stating that he rescued Nigeria from economic collapse.

He also spoke about the removal of fuel and foreign exchange subsidies, explaining that they were hard but necessary decisions to reposition Nigeria for development.

”At a time when the economy had severely nosedived, our president rose with courage, conviction and clarity to take hard but necessary decisions aimed at repositioning Nigeria for sustainable development. Many of us thought fuel subsidy was the worst burden, but in reality, the foreign exchange subsidy — the multiple exchange rate system — was the bigger monster. On May 29, 2023, Mr. President removed both, and that marked the beginning of genuine reforms,” he said.

Abiodun stressed that the impact of the reforms are becoming evident, adding that Nigeria is once again attracting investors.

“Foreign flights are now full of investors coming into the country. In Ogun State today, you cannot move 100 metres without seeing a new factory. There is nothing I have asked of Mr. President for Ogun State that he has not approved. The strength of the APC has always been anchored on unity and fairness. A united APC is an unbeatable APC,” he added.
