A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Hon. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye has expressed confidence in the capability of President Bola Tinubu to fix the country’s failing economy.
In a chat with journalists on Sunday, in Osogbo, the state capital, Oyintiloye, who was in the now defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council, advised Nigerians to be patient and support the President’s agenda in fixing the economy.
He also urged Nigerians, both home and abroad to have faith in the President’s practical steps in solving a series of challenges confronting the economic situation in the country.
While noting that Tinubu had the interest of Nigerians at heart, he said the President was aware of the challenges before he decided to be the President and was adequately prepared for it.
He said: “The various economic policies by the President to put the country’s economy on the right path might seem painful, but they will, at the end, put smiles on the faces of the people.
“The hardship Nigerians are presently facing would soon be a thing of the past. It is true that the economy is not in good shape and Nigerians are going through a alot, finding it difficult to live a decent life.
“I believe the President knew this before he offered himself to govern the country and he is well prepared to tackle all these challenges.
“All we need to do is to continue to pray for the president, support him and be patient. There is no doubt that he is capable of fixing the economy.
“President Tinubu is a man with a private sector background. He worked in the banking and oil sector and believes he will use his wealth of experience to fix things.
“The removal of fuel subsidy and the monetary policy of the president will soon put the country on the right part. There will be improved electricity , job opportunities, improved security, infrastructure development, housing provision and food security”.
On President Tinubu’s victory at the courts, Oyintiloye, who was also the Osun State Chairman of the defunct Directorate of Civic Engagement, said the President would now have enough time to concentrate on governance.
He commended the judiciary for the landmark judgment, adding that the judiciary has once again proved itself as the last hope for the common man.
He also commended the President for appointing the best hands in his team to move the nation forward.
Oyintiloye added that the President should be commended on the mission of “Renewed Hope Agenda” for Nigerians.
He said the President genuinely expressed his commitment to the renewed hope, when he expressly asked all his cabinet members during a retreat last week to sign a performance bond.
“This shows that this government is taking the bull by the horn and putting individuals on their toes which will enhance effective performance and deliver good governance.
“This will further reaffirm the confidence of our people in the present democratic process”, he said.
