Doyin Okupe, the former Director-General of Peter Obi's 2023 presidential campaign council, has stated that it is unfair for people to judge the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu with just 18 months in office.

While speaking on Arise TV last night, Okupe said President Tinubu has taken reforms that will save Nigeria from making the value of the Naira fall and become useless like the Zimbabwean dollar.

According to him, the Buhari-led administration printed monies just to get the economy go by but that this was harmful as it left Nigerians in a more precarious state. Okupe said the Tinubu administration came into power and chose not to continue with the window-dressing of the Buhari administration and decided to take painful reforms that will “better the lives of Nigerians.”

“I heard people complain that the dollar is N1,700; it could have been worse, it could have been N17,000. That fuel is N1,000; it could have been worse; it could have been N3,000 or N4,000 per liter if these reforms had not been in place and has checked the escalating hyperinflation in which we entered into. It is wholesomely unfair and I am almost tempted to say wicked for anybody to judge this administration after eighteen months"  he said
