Nigeria’s economy dangerously failing under you – LP lawmakers to Tinubu

 The Labour Party, LP, Caucus in the House of Representatives,
on Tuesday, said Nigeria’s economy has “dangerously continued” in a free fall
since President Bola Tinubu assumed office one year ago.

 

The lawmakers said the situation is “casting a cloud of
doubt” on Tinubu’s capacity to rescue Nigeria.

 

They made the remark in a statement signed by their leader,
Afam Ogene.

 

The lawmakers said the rising insecurity and economic
hardship in the country negates Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda promise to
Nigerians.

 

The statement reads partly: “Our Caucus had taken a backseat
in the patriotic hope that, maybe, just maybe, the beneficiary administration
would be able to wrought magic and pull the nation from the precipice of
economic annihilation.

 

“But, as can be obviously felt by the blind and seen by the
deaf, the entire country has, after one year, come to the full and unambiguous
understanding of what President Bola Tinubu meant when he said that his
administration would continue with the legacies of his predecessor.

 

“The current staggering negative economic indices should
alarm every Nigerian, as it has left many previous optimists, including
ourselves, in glaring shock.”

 

The lawmakers charged Tinubu to “urgently” prioritise
minimising the suffering of Nigerians by ensuring food security, access to
clean water, healthcare, and education.

 

“Tackling poverty and guaranteeing these necessities are
pivotal to the sustenance of peace in the nation.

 

“We also call on the government to intensify the fight
against corruption, with transparent governance and accountability being
paramount.

 

“We also warn that the government should desist from
throwing the nation to the whims of foreign financial institutions, whose
policies in developing countries are often anti-people,” the statement added.
