Hardship: Nigeria Economy Is Beginning To Make A Recovery – Doyin Okupe Counters Afenifere

Former Presidential Spokesperson, Doyin Okupe, has claimed that the Nigerian economy has begun to make a recovery.

He stated this while reacting to criticism of President Bola Tinubu administration by Afenifere.

Naija News reports that the Yoruba group had expressed concern on Wednesday over the situation in the country, lamenting that the economy was on the verge of collapsing.

However, speaking to newsmen on Thursday, Okupe argued that economic indicators show that the country has began to make a recovery.

According to him, “It is commendable that Afenifere, a pan-Yoruba socio-cultural organisation and now political group, has always lived to its nationalistic stance.

“This is done by criticising the government of the day even though a Yoruba man, Asiwaju Tinubu, is the current president of the country.

“This is one of the outstanding and commendable attributes of the Yoruba people as a race and Afenifere has been consistent in this patriotic display of true nationalism.

“However, while it is true that the country and its citizens are undergoing very harsh socio-economic conditions, principally because of strong and brave economic policies put in place to correct the economic quagmire brought on the country by the previous administration’s economic indicators show that the economy is beginning to make a recovery and an obvious turn around is now clearly observable.” 

Okupe stated that all hands must now be on deck to support the administration to succeed in its efforts to revamp the economy
