Presidential aide, Bayo Onanuga, says President Bola Tinubu is reviving what he described as a dead economy inherited from the previous administration.
Backing his claim with remarks made by Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, Onanuga said the current government met a lifeless economic structure masked in motion, which Tinubu is now reengineering for growth.
“In macroeconomic terms, this government inherited a dead economy — a dead horse that was still standing, but people didn’t know it,” Soludo stated during an interview on Channels Television, a clip of which Onanuga shared on X.
According to Onanuga, the Tinubu-led administration has taken bold steps to reset the economy. “To all those attacking President Tinubu, please listen to Governor Soludo’s insight.
Since taking office, Tinubu has been resuscitating the dead economy and placing it on the path of sustainable growth,” he wrote.
He listed achievements including debt reduction, clearance of IMF loans, sharp rise in internally generated revenue, improved investor confidence, a trade surplus, boosted foreign reserves, and strengthened state capacity for capital projects and salary payments.
Onanuga’s defense of Tinubu comes amid mounting public scrutiny and hardship triggered by ongoing economic reforms.
