Spokesperson for the North central zone of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Mustapha Audu, has given the assurance that the party’s standard bearer, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will fix the “not-so-great” economic policies of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Audu spoke during a programme on Arise TV on Tuesday.
Notable personalities within the APC have recently criticised the Buhari administration over its Naira redesign policy.
Tinubu has specifically alleged that the motive of the policy, which has resulted in cash crunch across the country, was to scuttle his chances of victory at the February 25 poll.
On his part, Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, told traders in the State to continue to transact their businesses with the old Naira notes regardless of the February 10 deadline set by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
Tinubu, according to El-Rufai, would reverse the policy if elected president.
The APC chieftain said Tinubu would bridge the economic gap if elected president on February 25.
“APC is a party that has dynamic and intelligent people. When something is going right, we support it; when something is not going right, we speak against it. There is no point trying to glamourise what is not working. You have to speak truth to power,” Audu said.
“We came together as a party to fight certain things at the beginning. And the president has tried a lot in fighting insecurities and championing several causes, we have gotten through recessions, and COVID-19, and we are right now in the middle of the Ukraine-Russian war and its negative effect on Nigeria.
“Buhari has brought stability in certain sectors and what we want to do: where he has not been great, particularly with economic principles and policies, we bring someone like Tinubu, who has a track record and history of delivering. We want people who have the ability to implement what they say.”
