Okowa Advocates for Tinubu's Second Term for Stability

Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, the former governor of Delta State, expressed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, stating that it has made significant strides in stabilizing the economy and local governments. Speaking in Asaba during a visit from the national leadership of Working People United (WPU), Okowa noted that Tinubu's leadership came at a critical time for Nigeria.

He emphasized that the removal of the fuel subsidy and other economic measures have allowed states and local governments to stabilize financially, contrasting the situation in May 2023 when many states were unable to pay salaries. Okowa urged Nigerians to support Tinubu's reforms, asserting that a second term would enable further consolidation of these gains.

He also mentioned that approximately 1.6 million students have benefited from the National Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), a reform aimed at reviving the economy. Okowa called on WPU members to back the government ahead of the 2027 elections.
