Presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, has said President Bola Tinubu is resuscitating the dead economy he inherited when he got sworn in.

He shared a snippet from a Channels Television interview in which the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, made the same claim about the economy.

Soludo said, “From a macroeconomic point of view, this government inherited a dead economy, I must say, a dead horse that was still standing, but people didn’t know it was dead, because you cannot pour drops of water on a rug and expect that the rug will not be wet.”

In a post on X, Onanuga revealed that Tinubu is putting the economy on the path of sustainable growth, just as he listed some of the achievements recorded by his administration.

He said, “To all those who have been attacking President Bola Tinubu, please listen to the lucid explanation by Governor Chukwuma Soludo. He offers an insight into the economic problems inherited by the Tinubu administration. He calls it a dead economy. Since Tinubu took over, he has been resuscitating the dead economy and putting it on the path of sustainable growth. Under Tinubu’s watch, we have reduced our debt, paid off IMF loans, increased IGR phenomenally, enabled the governors to carry out many capital projects and pay salaries, built investor confidence, recorded trade surplus, increased forex reserve, etc.”
