Ex-Obidient Leader Marcel Ngogbehei Defends Tinubu's Actions

Marcel Ngogbehei, the former Coordinator of the Obidient Movement and current Director-General of the Tinubu Movement for Sustainable Governance Foundation, defended President Bola Tinubu's leadership during a press conference in Abuja. Ngogbehei stated that Tinubu made courageous decisions that previous leaders avoided, urging Nigerians to endure short-term discomfort for long-term national stability.

He emphasized the importance of understanding the complexities of the challenges faced by the administration and the impacts of its initiatives. Ngogbehei referenced a warning from Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala in 2013 about the dangers of excessive borrowing and monetary recklessness, advocating for a courageous leader to end fuel subsidies.

He called for an open and honest national conversation regarding the administration's reforms and their implications. Engr. Ibrahim Said Uba, the National Director of Mobilisation and Data Management of the Foundation, supported Ngogbehei's statements, highlighting the core mandate of TMS to educate Nigerians on sustainable projects benefiting citizens.
