Sam Onuigbo, a former lawmaker for the Ikwuano/Umuahia North/South Federal Constituency in Abia, has commended President Tinubu for stabilising Nigeria’s economy for growth.

Mr Onuigbo said this on the occasion of the president’s commemoration of two years in office on Thursday in Abuja.

He said Mr Tinubu’s payoff of the IMF loan was a testament to his achievement in stabilising Nigeria’s economy.

“This is a man who accumulated over N23 trillion ways and means from the previous administration. He started on stormy ground, and today we are talking about an increase in salaries and state allocations,” he said.

Mr Onuigbo said it was imperative for Nigerians to re-elect Mr Tinubu in 2027 to sustain the achievements made so far.

According to him, the money saved from fuel subsidy removal is injected into the economy to benefit all Nigerians.

The APC chieftain saluted Mr Tinubu’s giant strides in infrastructure, which include the 700 km Lagos /Calabar road and Sokoto/Badagry superhighway.

Mr Onuigbo, who acknowledged economic challenges, blamed the seeming hardship on profiteering and self-denial.

He expressed hope that a more prosperous Nigeria is possible with Mr Tinubu’s re-election.
