The All Progressive Congress (APC), on Tuesday, admitted that the policies initiated by President Bola Tinubu have increased economic hardship in the country.
The National Publicity Secretary of the ruling party, Felix Morka, stated this in a statement while replying to the party’s former national vice chairman (North West), Salihu Mohammed Lukman.
Lukman had accused the APC of failing Nigerians, adding that both former President Muhammadu Buhari and incumbent President have failed to deliver on their campaign promises.
Lukman also asked opposition leaders to unite and work hard to defeat the APC led government in 2027.
Morka, however, in his reaction to Lukman’s statement argued that President Tinubu was taking bold measures to reset the country’s “long broken economy”, explaining that his reforms have increased economic hardship.
The statement reads, “The APC-led administration of President Tinubu is taking bold measures to reset our country’s long broken economy, improve national security and restore the country to wholesome and sustainable development.
“No doubt, these inevitable reforms have increased economic hardship for our people. In fact, the unwillingness of previous administrations to undertake these reforms and tackle the problems at their roots is why the economy has remained in the doldrums for a long time.”
