World Trade Organisation Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has come under fire from activist Aisha Yesufu for her comments praising President Bola Tinubu for stabilising Nigeria’s economy.
Aisha Yesufu asked why Nigerians should give Tinubu credit for mending what she called an economy he had destabilised in a post on X on Sunday.
She maintained that the economy has not yet recovered to its pre-Tinubu level and that the assertion of stability would only be justified if the president had inherited a more dire condition.
Aisha Yesufu said Nigerians were being asked to commend Tinubu for “stabilising his own mess,” insisting the country’s economic state remains far from recovery.
She said: “First of all, she started by telling Nigerians that they should give Mr. Tinubu credit for stabilising an economy he destabilised and has not even taken to the bad state it was in before he came in.
“Give credit to someone that threw the economy into an unprecedented bad state because he was now stabilising his mess? What is the stability being compared to?
“If Mr Tinubu had met the economy worse off and there was now stability, then her statement would make sense. The economy is still not back to where it was when he snatched power from Buhari. Is it? So what credit are Nigerians supposed to give?”
