Why Nigerians Are Yet to Feel Tinubu’s Reforms, Says Former Obidient Coordinator

Marcel Ngogbehei, a public affairs analyst and former coordinator of the Obidient Movement, said Nigerians have yet to feel the full benefits of President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms because of their short-term effects, particularly the removal of the fuel subsidy. Speaking to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, he said Nigeria had long neglected major economic problems and that Tinubu inherited complex challenges. Ngogbehei argued that the reforms bring immediate hardship but should benefit the country in the long term. Ibrahim Said Uba, coordinator of the Tinubu Support Group, urged opposition leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, to offer what he called truthful assessments of the reforms instead of spreading propaganda.
