APC Chieftain Rallies Support For Tinubu Amid Economic Reforms

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Doyin Johnson, has called on Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to support President Bola Tinubu in his drive to rescue Nigeria and the current economic reforms.

Johnson, a lecturer, spoke yesterday at the swearing-in ceremony of the 2025 Honour of State Icons and presentation of certificates of return for three zonal executives, 33 state executives and 57 local government chairmen by Intellectual Elite Youth Association of Nigeria (IEYAN), in Lagos.
He said President Tinubu was facing a lot of challenges which he claimed were being handled one after the other.

The governing member of the Federal University of Agriculture, Bayelsa, during his lecture, said Nigerians would soon rejoice as Tinubu was blocking several loopholes that unscrupulous people were using to syphon money to their pockets, especially in the oil and mining sectors.

“President Tinubu is not the type of president who wasn’t prepared to run for an election; nobody hand-picked him to run for election. He has prepared for it for a long time. As a master strategist, a transformer, a political mathematician and an enigma, he knows what to do to reform the country.

“He started by dealing with an oil subsidy scam and it did not go down well with the cabals that were reaping where they did not sow. It was too sad that the past administrations, especially that of President Buhari, did not do anything about the scam in oil subsidy. It was President Tinubu who intervened. Did you know that the past administration used our crude oil as a loan to borrow money? The loan was just paid last August, so better things are coming.

“Now, actually, he is revolutionising agriculture. I mean, Tinubu appointed me as a governing member and council member of the Federal University of Agriculture, Bayelsa. He approved N2.64 billion for plantations; for our school just to plant, not to spend. Just to plant and make a food surplus. Like that in Mubi and the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta.

“They gave some money to Abeokuta; about N7 billion. All the schools of Agriculture are being given money for farming. So, when you are saying you want to sell your bag of rice for N50,000 when somebody from Abeokuta is selling it for N25,000, your price will crash.”
