Tinubu Met Nigeria That Was Drowning, Affected By Cancer And Took Bold Decisions – Uzodinma

The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, has commended the policies implemented by the administration of President Bola Tinubu since coming into power in 2023.

According to him, Tinubu inherited a country that was drowning and suffering from cancer and had to make decisions only a bold leader can take in order to rescue Nigeria.

Uzodinma, who is also the Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, said President Tinubu discovered the “cancer” that held the country down and took bold decisions as a bold leader to eradicate it.

He praised the policies of the current administration, such as fuel subsidy removal and the unification of the exchange rate, The Eye Opener News reports

“Since 2023, the Asiwaju government came into office, and he met a Nigeria that was almost drowning, and what was required was a bold leader who would be able to make decisions.

“And he discovered the cancer that held Nigeria hostage, and he took that bold decision of removing the fuel subsidy, of unifying the exchange rate, of rolling out so many reforms, and the fiscal policies that made Nigeria, which was almost broke, gradually now becoming rich again,” Uzodinma said at the APC Governors’ Forum stakeholders meeting on Friday.

He noted that though Nigerians faced “extreme hardship” when the policies, including the removal of the fuel subsidy, were introduced, “there is a jubilation everywhere” now that the policies are yielding results.
