Tinubu promised to continue where Buhari stopped. If you look at it, Buhari left the dollar at about N400; today, it is about N1,500. Rice was about N40,000; it is now over N100,000. Fuel was about N300; it is now over N1,000. I can go on and on—everything has doubled and tripled.

“So, he has done exactly as he promised,” Obi remarked.
 
Obi contrasted Nigeria’s economic performance with that of Indonesia, citing how its government transformed the country’s economy over the past decade.
 
He explained that Nigeria’s GDP fell from $500 billion to $200 billion, and per capita income dropped from $3,500 to below $2,000.

Obi further stressed the need to revive the nation’s industries, invest in education and healthcare, and steer the country towards productive governance.
