Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A former Presidential spokesperson, Dr Doyin Okupe, says President Bola Tinubu has not disappointed Nigerians in his address to the nation on the nationwide protests on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Okupe, a former Director-General of the Labour Party (LP) Presidential Campaign Council, made this while reacting to the president\u2019s broadcast on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Bola Tinubu\u2019s speech has not disappointed Nigerians in that for the first time, the president clearly stated the daunting economic situation his administration met on ground at inception.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also amplified the strenuous efforts made by his government to reduce the prevailing crippling and stagnating debt servicing ratio from 97 per cent of earned revenue to 68 per cent.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn truth, this has been the major cause of our present economic woes and sufferings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is now self-evident that if the fuel subsidy was not removed, it would have been impossible for the government to function.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the government will not be able to meet its obligations, without continuing the profligacy of massive and sustained borrowing to fund the subsequent national budgets,\u201d Okupe said.<\/p>\n
