Tinubu Deserves Second Term to Consolidate Reforms, Deliver Prosperity, Says Former Obi’s Supporter.
Mayowa, who is also the South-west Coordinator of BATIFIED OBIDIENTS, said the forthcoming general election should be determined by a critical assessment of competing policy directions, economic management and national development priorities rather than political rivalries, personalities or emotional sentiments.
In a statement yesterday, he acknowledged that the administration’s economic reforms had imposed considerable pressure on households and businesses but argued that abandoning the current policy direction prematurely could undermine efforts to address Nigeria’s longstanding structural economic challenges.
He maintained that continuity in governance, accompanied by stronger accountability and improved implementation, offered an opportunity to consolidate the reforms initiated since Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.
“My position is clear: Nigeria must not allow political differences to overshadow the long-term national interest. We must examine the evidence, appreciate the importance of difficult reforms, and consider whether the progress already initiated deserves the opportunity to be consolidated under the leadership that began it,” he said. Mayowa argued that the removal of the petrol subsidy and changes to foreign-exchange management should be assessed against the structural problems they were designed to address, while insisting that the government must do more to ensure that the benefits of economic adjustment reach ordinary Nigerians. He stressed that continuity should not be interpreted as unconditional support for every government decision but as an opportunity to maintain a consistent development direction, correct policy weaknesses and improve implementation.
