According to the report from the Sun, a Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress, Hon. Jubreel Abdulkareem praises Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic expertise, highlighting his ability to consult with various stakeholders and make informed decisions for the nation's financial well-being.
He claims that the opposition to the removal of oil subsidies came primarily from individuals who profited from the previous system and were unwilling to let go of their advantage, but that the current economic climate has forced them to reconsider their stance.
He further asserts that even those who hoarded foreign currency are now bringing it back into circulation, recognizing the potential depreciation of their assets.
He said, "Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is an economist on his own. He must have consulted widely enough on his own. He has his own onus on what he is going to do and today everything is taking shape. The people that were against the removal of the oil subsidy were those benefiting from the status quo and that was why they were fighting back when it was removed. Today no one is telling them to fall in line. Even those with dollars stashed somewhere are bringing it out and trying to sell it before it falls beyond their expectation."
