Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa
Elder statesman and pioneer APC National Chairman, Chief Bisi Akande, has expressed strong support for President Bola Tinubu’s economic and governance reforms, describing them as “painful but necessary” steps toward national renewal.
What We Know:
- Akande acknowledged current economic hardships but insisted that Tinubu’s policies are structured for future prosperity.
- He cited subsidy removal, FX unification, and anti-corruption drives as examples of difficult decisions with long-term payoffs.
- The former Osun State governor urged Nigerians to remain patient, saying “rebuilding takes time.”
Quote:
“The pain is temporary. The reward is lasting. We must endure the furnace of reform to reach the gold of progress.”
