Gbenga Hashim Criticizes President Tinubu's Economic Management, Nigeria's GDP Lower Than 20 Years Ago

Gbenga Hashim, a global businessman and PDP presidential hopeful, criticized President Bola Tinubu's economic performance, highlighting that Nigeria's GDP is lower today than under past administrations, including Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan. Hashim raised concerns about the devaluation of the Naira, stressing the need for transparency in economic management.

He compared Tinubu's development legacy in Lagos unfavorably to former President Ibrahim Babangida's contributions, particularly citing the construction of the Third Mainland Bridge. Hashim challenged members of Tinubu's economic team, including the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Finance Minister, to live debate their economic strategies.

He emphasized the importance of improving oil production to reduce fuel imports and support a stronger currency.
