Congratulations, Nigeria should not borrow if economy is stabilizing – Peter Obi tells Tinubu

 Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi has
congratulated President Bola Tinubu following his claim that Nigeria has
achieved its revenue target for the year.

Speaking on Tuesday, Tinubu had said Nigeria has met its
revenue target for the year and his administration is currently stabilizing the
economy.

However, Obi noted that Nigeria should not be borrowing and
citizens should feel the impact in their daily lives if the economy is
stabilizing.

In a post on X titled ‘What does Achieving Revenue Target
mean to Nigerians?’, Obi wrote: “The President has announced that our nation’s
revenue target for the year has now been achieved by August, which could mean a
stabilising economy.

“Congratulations Mr. President. But Mr. President, if indeed
the economy stabilises as you declared, then Nigerians must feel it in their
daily lives.

“Borrowings must stop now. Huge Contractors’ bills, which
are still owed should be paid, and critical underfunded projects must now be
funded.

“Our educational facilities and hospitals are still in
terrible condition. True economic stability is not in figures announced at
press conferences, but in classrooms where children learn, in well-equipped
labs and access to learning tools, in hospitals, where citizens can receive
quality care, equipped with adequate facilities.”
