GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that the Abia State Governor, Alex Otti has commended President Bola Tinubu’s government over its economic policies.
Governor Otti led this out on Sunday while receiving lawmaker representing Abia North; Orji Kalu and Chris Adighije, a former lawmaker; at his residence in Isiala-Ngwa South Local Government Area.
Recall that President Tinubu, on the 29th of May, 2023, ended the petrol subsidy regime and floated naira for exchange rate unification.
Some Nigerians believes that the development is responsible for economic hardship facing the country.
During the meeting, Kalu commended Governor Otti for Abia development and also sought support for Tinubu.
Responding, Otti said beyond politics, he shares Tinubu’s economic views and will continue to support him in that regard.
He said: “When you talk about supporting President Tinubu, the president and I are very good friends and our friendship predates party politics and current positions.
“We agree on so many issues; as it is natural, we know where we disagree. But, when you talk about the economy, what Mr president is doing has always been my position for a long time.
“I urge people to go back and read my columns at the back of ThisDay newspaper some years back, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, where I said that it was time to remove fuel subsidy when off-takers were rejecting crude shipped to them.
“So, it requires somebody with courage to remove that subsidy, and I support it. We have behaved in an irresponsible manner for a very long time.
“When you have years of irresponsible behaviour, the correction would be tough, challenging, and painful.
“It is the correction that we are going through now. If we don’t lose faith, we will eventually get it right.
“So, talking about supporting the president, it is a no-brainer. I will continue to support him because it is the same administration.”
