APC Chairman Yilwatda Promises Microeconomic Prosperity

At a policy roundtable in Abuja on Tuesday, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), addressed concerns regarding the Nigerian economy. He assured citizens that the current administration, represented by President Bola Tinubu, would transition from macroeconomic stability to microeconomic prosperity.

Despite positive indicators such as growing external reserves and an increase in Gross Domestic Product, Yilwatda acknowledged that many Nigerians are struggling with poor purchasing power. He articulated that the next phase of the Renewed Hope agenda would focus on improving food availability, job creation, and lowering inflation.

Yilwatda also cautioned against promises from political opponents, particularly referencing Atiku Abubakar's call to reinstate the fuel subsidy, urging Nigerians to choose between progress and a return to previous economic challenges. He reiterated the APC's commitment to achieving a $1 trillion Nigerian economy by 2030.
