APC Convention 2026 Live Updates: Latest News and Developments
Seyi Law credits Tinubu for economic recovery
Seyi Law, the Nigerian comedian, on Friday night, March 27, said President Tinubu inherited a struggling economy.
He added that the economic reforms introduced early in his administration in mid-2023, such as the removal of the petrol subsidy and the naira float, produced measurable gains despite initial shocks, volatility, and instability.
The staunch APC supporter and senior special assistant on entertainment and tourism to the Ondo State governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, stated:
“This (Bola Tinubu) is a man I am willing to stake everything on, because he brought Nigeria back from the brink of economic collapse, when our net foreign reserves stood at barely $1 billion. This is the only administration that has had the shortest ASUU strike ever."
