By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Punch
Nigerian Vice-President Kashim Shettima says President Bola Tinubu’s reforms prevented the economy from collapsing and helped it grow by 4.43% in the latest quarter. He also referred to foreign exchange reserves of nearly $60 billion at a forum supporting Tinubu’s re-election, according to Punch.
Nigerian Vice-President Kashim Shettima attributed Nigeria’s 4.43% growth to the economic decisions of President Bola Tinubu, according to Punch. He said the economy would have collapsed without these measures, which he described as difficult and far-reaching.
Shettima was speaking at a forum organised by the City Boy Movement and the Relax-Tinubu-Is-Fixing-Nigeria movement, which support Tinubu’s re-election in January 2027. He said the president’s critics would otherwise have denounced the economy’s collapse from Dubai or New York.
The remarks came two days after Shettima made northern Nigeria’s support conditional on government results, on 18 October, in a call for results. They also follow the presidency’s response to criticism of Tinubu by former Transport Minister Rotimi Amaechi, published on 18 October in the response to Amaechi’s criticism.
