Tinubu implementing focused economic policies, says APC chieftain
A former member of the House of Representatives, Sam Onuigbo, has lauded President Bola Tinubu over his administration’s focused economic policies.
Mr Onuigbo, who represented Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency in the eighth and ninth Houses of Representatives, gave the commendation in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Monday.
He described the recent endorsement of Mr Tinubu for a second term by Igbo leaders in the APC as a testament to the president’s exemplary leadership through bold economic reforms.
“We appreciate his (Tinubu’s) focused economic policies, which have been domestically and globally validated.
“We don’t want to be peeping through a broken wall or window. We want to see our return on investment on political capital,” he said.
Some of the president’s economic reforms include the removal of the fuel subsidy, which ended the long-standing subsidy payment on Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
Part of the economic reforms was also the exchange rate unification, which merged multiple foreign exchange windows into a single, more market-driven rate aimed at reducing arbitrage and attracting investment, leading to naira devaluation.
APC stakeholders in the South-East on Saturday formally endorsed Mr Tinubu for a second term in office, pledging to mobilise massive votes for his re-election in 2027.
