APC's Obidike Chukwuebuka Advocates for Tinubu's Re-election

Obidike Chukwuebuka, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Clarivo Holdings Limited, warned that Nigeria could face severe consequences if President Bola Tinubu loses re-election. He emphasized the importance of continuity in Tinubu's reform agenda, which he claims has been crucial since May 2023.

Chukwuebuka acknowledged the economic challenges Nigerians are facing but argued that the administration inherited a difficult economic situation and has made "bold and painful decisions" to address structural issues. He highlighted key reforms such as the removal of the petrol subsidy, foreign exchange reforms, and increased revenue mobilization.

He noted that these measures have improved Nigeria's fiscal position and expanded the fiscal space for government obligations. Chukwuebuka also mentioned the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as a significant intervention for students and pointed to ongoing infrastructure projects under the federal government as evidence of progress.
