“Progressives are working together,” Soludo stated.
He commended the president for his administration’s reforms aimed at fixing the economy.
Soludo, who compared the state of Nigeria’s economy when Tinubu assumed office in 2023 to the tide on the Atlantic Ocean, applauded him for his courage in embarking on bold reforms to tame it and make the economy work again.
“We know the state of Nigeria’s economy with all its unsustainable dysfunctionalities when you assumed office. You had the courage to tame the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos, and now, you’re courageously and systematically getting the economy to work again,” Soludo stated.
While acknowledging that there is still more work to do, the Anambra governor noted that in less than two years, important building blocks are already being put in place. He urged the president to continue with his good works.
