Reno Omokri, a former aide to Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, claimed that Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has led to a more sustainable development of Nigeria’s economy.
Omokri, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, claimed that Tinubu had to correct what he described as the economic snob Nigeria had experienced while in power.
We were in a fool’s paradise, the author claimed. We are now living within our means, Omokri said on the program. Tinubu has removed that.
Because we want to give our people an artificial luxury, should we continue to go into debt? Under former President Buhari, we were borrowing a lot.
According to him, Godwin Emefiele, a former governor of the Central Bank and current trial defendant, allegedly obtained loans totaling $ 28 trillion without telling the National Assembly.
They were using that money to artificially increase the naira’s value. We can’t just borrow money to feed the population. We must produce, which is why we are producing right now. The ex-presidential aide claimed that exports are rising while imports are falling.

The author claimed that despite the current difficulties, a shift away from debt dependency was necessary in order to answer the question of the typical Nigerian’s purchasing power and livelihood.
“People have the impression that things are getting worse, but the truth is that we need to look inside. He claimed that Tinubu is acting in a manner consistent with Peter Obi and Atiku’s words.
The ex-presidential aide claimed that under Tinubu, Nigeria’s debt levels have actually increased.
