Edo PDP Commend President Tinubu For Fuel Subsidy Removal, Free Float Naira Currency
………says the two economic policies are spot on By Elvis Omoregie
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has commended President Bola Tinubu for its decision to remove subsidies from Petrol and free-float the Naira currency.
The party said: “The two economic policies were spot on. And it’s the best way to go around the economy that has been grounded.
Chairman of the Edo State chapter of the party, Dr. Tony Aziegbemi who disclosed this during an interactive session with journalists in Benin City also said: “Those two economic policies alone will give us in excess of #2 trillion”.
He, however, cautioned that the palliatives that would be ditched out-arising from the subsidies removal would determine the success of the economic policies, adding, “because I know the average Nigerian is hit”.
On why he is commending an opposition-led federal government, Aziegbemi said: “it’s the paradigm shift in policies that we are bringing onboard in the PDP.
“I am an economist. So, when I see good economic policies from a distance, I will know.
Similarly, the party chairman lauded Governor Godwin Obaseki-led PDP administration in Edo State for delivering on its promises to the people.
He listed some of the people-oriented programmes of the administration including Education reforms, and health and technology hubs where youths are trained in soft wares engineering.
According to him, “in the next five years, we are going to have 15,000 trained software engineers that would generate programmes for companies like Google and others”.
