Gov Alex Otti and President Bola Tinubu.
Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, has commended President Bola Tinubu for removing the fuel subsidy and floating the naira, describing the decisions as bold reforms that required courage despite their immediate economic consequences.
Otti made the remarks on Tuesday while receiving the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, during her visit to Abia State to celebrate and promote the historic Akwete weaving heritage in Ukwa East Local Government Area.
Addressing the First Lady, the governor asked her to convey his appreciation to the President for what he described as difficult but necessary economic decisions.
“I want you to please thank him. Thank him for his courage. Thank him for his sacrifices. Some people may not understand. It takes a man with courage to do what he did in 2023, remove petroleum subsidy, and followed suit with the floating the naira,” Otti said.
