The leadership of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State has commended President Bola Tinubu for the decision to remove fuel subsidy and floating of the Naira.
The party said the two economic policies were spot on, adding that it is the best way to go round the economy that has been grounded.
The chairman of the Edo State chapter of the party, Dr Tony Aziegbemi who disclosed this during an interactive session with journalists in Benin City also said these two economic policies alone will give the country in the excess of N2 trillion.
He however cautioned that the palliatives arising from the subsidies removal would determine the success of the economic policies.
On why he is commending rival APC-led federal government, Aziegbemi said: “It’s the paradigm shift in policies that we are bringing onboard in the PDP.
I am an economist. So, when I see good economic policies from a distance, I will know.”
Similarly, the party chairman lauded governor Godwin Obaseki-led PDP administration in Edo State for delivering on its promises to the people.
He listed some of the people-oriented programmes of the administration to include education reforms, health and technology hub where youths are trained on software engineering.
According to him, “in the next five years, we are going to have 15,000 trained software engineers that would generate programmes for companies like Google and others.”
