A member of the House of Representatives for Yagba Federal Constituency, Hon Leke Abejide, has said that President Bola Tinubu is the messiah Nigeria needs.
He insisted that Tinubu is capable of fixing the country and Nigeria will begin to see the effect of the present administration by 2026.
The lawmaker stated this during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
“By the time we get to 2026, they will see this country, everybody will be praising the President. He is the messiah that Nigeria needs now and he can fix Nigeria,” the lawmaker said
Abeji faulted the previous administration for the country’s economic crisis.
He said everything went down completely, faulting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) under Godwin Emefiele for minting excess currency.
“At the twilight of the last administration, even for you to get N1,000 in your pocket, was it easy? You know how much was printed by the CBN. How can the economy survive like that? Who will take you seriously?
“Things are getting better. This exchange rate issue will be fixed with time. It is better we go to reality than hiding,” he added
Speaking further, Abejide claimed that Tinubu’s controversial tax reform bills will reduce Nigeria’s borrowing.
“If you look at this tax bill and see the structuring that is taking place there, it shows that this level of borrowing in Nigeria will reduce in the near future.
“We will not be borrowing money to finance the budget as much as we are doing now and we will be able to finance the infrastructure,” he added.
