Otti Praises Tinubu for Courageous Economic Reforms

On Tuesday, Abia State Governor Alex Otti commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his courageous leadership in implementing significant economic reforms in Nigeria. During a visit from First Lady Remi Tinubu, Otti stated that the current economic hardship is a result of years of poor policy decisions rather than the reforms themselves.

He urged the First Lady to convey his gratitude to the President for his bold actions, including the removal of the petroleum subsidy and the floating of the naira. Otti noted that these reforms have increased the financial capacity of federal, state, and local governments, allowing for infrastructure development and salary payments.

He acknowledged that while these policies have led to short-term difficulties for Nigerians, they are essential for restoring long-term economic stability and growth. Otti emphasized that courageous decisions come with consequences, and the current hardships are a fallout from previous poor governance.
