A special interest group, the Nigerian ReNewed Hope Solidarity Movement (NRHSM) has said but for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s pragmatic policies and programmes the country would have gone into bankruptcy.
The group also applauded the administration’s commitment to fighting and eradicating corruption in the country in the last one year in office.
This position was contained in a statement in Abuja by the National Coordinator of the Movement, Hon Tom Obulu.
According to the group whose interest is in seeing that the renewed hope dispensation is spread to all grassroot for all the citizens to benefits, described the decision taken so far in directing the affairs of the country by the administration as courageous.
Commending the progress recorded so far since last May 29, Obulu said: “the Tinubu administration can pump its chest for been courageous enough to go back to the drawing board by making sure that Nigeria does not go bankrupt.”
The movement cited the removal of fuel subsidy, the reformation in the forex market and the students loan scheme which will help provide succour to indigent students by providing platform for them to access qualitative education.
It also commended the administration for initiating and implementing the one million nano business owners, who are currently receiving N5O,000, the take-off of the super Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the completion of Aba- Port Harcourt railway line.
Frowning at the pockets of rising opposition, the movement urged the administration not to fold its arms and allow wealthy oppositions to be sponsoring pockets of protest. The group also advised that government should wield the big stick to discourage hoarding, in order not to allow galloping inflations.
The movement also endorsed the minister of state of defence, Bello Muhammed Matawale’s verdict on the lack of authority of the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) to speak for the entire region, noting that they have become a political burden to the northerners.
“This statement is been amplified by the NHRSM because they (NEF) have no department that monitors the progress of achievements of this administration as enumerated above, they just want power for power sake, they should wait for 2031 as there is no vacancy.
“What the president needs now is the energy of the citizens of Nigeria to show support for his government and move the good governance that we need.”
The group urged the Organised Labour to tread softly in their demand for minimum wage, arguing that the N615,000 benchmark will cause instant hyper inflation that will turn Nigeria into a banana republic.
