Doyin Okupe, A former director general of the Peter Obi Presidential Campaign has commended President Bola Tinubu’s administration for addressing “key” issues plaguing the nation.
Okupe while assessing the Tinubu administration since assuming office on May 29, 2023, said the president tackled issues of foreign exchange early enough.
He also stated that President Tinubu upon assuming office, succeeded in prevent individuals from exploiting FX earnings through the Central Bank of Nigeria.
He said it was barely two months after resuming office that Tinubu took drastic but strategic steps towards addressing some of the challenges.
His words, “Tinubu tackled foreign exchange issues, stopping individuals from exploiting earnings through the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, connections. Two months after getting into government, he put up a committee to look into tax reform, which was in his agenda.”
Further describing Tinubu as a focused and reliable individual, Okupe said the president’s reform policies are most credible.
He said, “This man (Tinubu) has a systematic, reliable, focused, and applicable agenda that can take Nigeria to enviable heights.
“Though I never supported Tinubu ahead of the election; he is not my friend, and we were not in the same party, in retrospect, however, his reform agenda is the most credible.
“The renewed hope agenda he (Tinubu) brought is one that can address, and is addressing, the country’s current challenges,” he added.
