Hope Uzodinma, governor of Imo State, has said the economic reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu are beginning to produce results despite the hardship currently faced by many Nigerians.
Uzodimma spoke at the All Progressives Congress South West stakeholders meeting in Lagos, where he compared Nigeria’s pre Tinubu economic condition to that of “a barren woman” in need of revival.
“Nigeria was like a barren woman looking for a child before President Bola Tinubu came,” Uzodinma said. “He introduced the fertility drugs needed. Yes, they came with pains, but we are seeing results. We are not after excuses. We are interested in results.” he said
Uzodinma, who conveyed the collective position of APC governors, thanked Nigerians for what he called their resilience in the face of economic difficulties arising from recent policy shifts by the federal government. “We thank you for your resilience in admitting the difficulties from the reforms. A more united and prosperous Nigeria is what we need,” he said.
Addressing the recent surge in kidnappings and terrorist attacks in different parts of the country, the governor expressed confidence that Nigeria would ultimately defeat insurgents and bandits. He questioned the sources of funding for criminal groups and stressed that the fight against insecurity requires unity and strong political will. “God made Tinubu possible. Of late we have seen the level of insecurity and banditry increase. Who are the people funding these criminalities? Progressive governors are united. Nigeria must win,” Uzodinma said.
