Shettima made a statement that some Nigerians may not be able to resonate with.
Despite the economic hardship Nigerians are currently faced with, Shettima is of the opinion that economic collapse was averted by Tinubu’s policies.
The Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima on Thursday said President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms of the past year “saved the life of the nation”.
The Vice President described the policies as necessary, given the poor state of Nigeria when Tinubu assumed office on May 29, 2023.
Shettima made this statement when he appeared as the Guest Speaker at the Second Chronicle Roundtable in Abuja.
Through Turbulence and Storms
“His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, chose the option that will save the life of the nation instead of one that will merely prolong its imminent and predicted economic death,” he told the gathering.
Furthermore, he explained why the administration acted on the petrol subsidy regime and the foreign exchange market intervention, saying the President chose the harshest but most certain path to recovery.
However, the V.P affirmed that the Tinubu-led administration does not blame the previous regime for its actions.
He implored Nigerians to be patient with the administration, assuring them that Tinubu is steering the nation’s ship through economic turbulence and storms he encountered on taking office.
