Tinubu stabilising his mess – Aisha Yesufu faults Okonjo-Iweala

In a post on X on Sunday, Yesufu questioned why Nigerians
should give Tinubu credit for stabilising what she described as an economy he
had destabilised.

She argued that the economy has yet to return to the level
it was before Tinubu assumed office, adding that the claim of stability would
only make sense if the president had inherited a worse situation.

Yesufu said Nigerians were being asked to commend Tinubu for
“stabilising his own mess,” insisting the country’s economic state remains far
from recovery.

She said: “First of all, she started by telling Nigerians
that they should give Mr. Tinubu credit for stabilising an economy he
destabilised and has not even taken to the bad state it was in before he came
in.

“Give credit to someone that threw the economy into an
unprecedented bad state because he was now stabilising his mess? What is the
stability being compared to?

“If Mr Tinubu had met the economy worse off and there was
now stability, then her statement would make sense. The economy is still not
back to where it was when he snatched power from Buhari. Is it? So what credit
are Nigerians supposed to give?”
