Olanrewaju posited that Tinubu’s record in Lagos should not be used to measure his competence to govern Nigeria, adding that Lagos has been a commercial city and even a little brilliant person will be a successful Governor of Lagos.

He said:

“Tinubu didn’t have any proper economic ideas. those best brains he assembled were just local champions that were able to cage Lagos with different policies, but because there was no opposition in Lagos, they escaped every atrocity.

“Lagos is a commercial centre, even if you are not that brilliant, it won’t really show, unlike other states. I am yet to see any clear idea of what he’s trying to do because inflation is currently at its highest, the exchange rate is killing every business and investor, and industries are leaving on a daily basis.”

Legit.ng earlier reported that President Tinubu has been accused of championing an economy that is anti-people and worsened the livelihood of Nigerians.

NLC president Joe Ajaero faulted the federal government’s economic policy, alleging that President Tinubu was only working on the advice of the World Bank and IMF.

But President Tinubu’s minister of information, Mohammed Idris, and his special adviser on media, Bayo Onanuga, faulted Ajaero’s criticism, stating that Nigerians would start enjoying the benefits of the reforms.
