APC Chieftain Says Tinubu Has Yet to Fulfil Some 2023 Campaign Promises

Kassim Afegbua, Edo State Commissioner for Information and Strategy and an APC chieftain, says President Bola Tinubu has not fulfilled some promises made during the 2023 election campaign. Speaking in a television interview, he nevertheless defended the administration’s economic policies and said they had brought improvements and could support further growth. Afegbua projected that Nigeria’s economy could grow by six per cent if the government maintained its current policy direction. He said greater stability and predictability in the foreign exchange market could help local and foreign investors plan their activities. He also cited the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) and local government financial autonomy as initiatives that could benefit Nigerians. Afegbua said the effects of these policies would take time to reach ordinary people, while the government has defended the removal of the petrol subsidy and changes to the foreign exchange market as necessary reforms. Those measures have also drawn criticism over their impact on living costs.
