Former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has urged the Federal Government to ensure that the recently announced achievement of Nigerias revenue target translates into real improvements in the lives of ordinary Nigerians.
Peter Obi while reacting to President Bola Tinubu’s disclosure that Nigeria had already met its 2024 revenue target by August, congratulated the President but stressed that economic stability cannot be measured by figures alone.
According to Obi, the citizens need to feel the impact in their daily lives, and the declaration remains abstract.
The former governor made this known in a recent post shared on X (formerly Twitter), on Wednesday.
“Congratulations Mr. President. But if indeed the economy stabilises as you declared, then Nigerians must feel it in their daily lives. Borrowings must stop now. Huge contractors’ bills, which are still owed, should be paid, and critical underfunded projects must now be funded,” Obi stated.
He also lamented the poor state of education and healthcare in the country, describing them as clear indicators that national stability is not yet a reality.
