The impressive start in office of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has earned the admiration of a notable chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Reno Omokri.
Omokri, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and staunch supporter of PDP’s Presidential Candidate in the last election, Atiku Abubakar rated Tinubu high for his pragmatic approach to governance since he assumed office last week Monday.
In his Facebook page post on Tuesday, Omokri pointed out that President Tinubu has in one week displayed the ability and decisiveness of his administration to tackle key issues in the country by taking some difficult but beneficial decisions.
The socio-political activist cited the removal of fuel subsidy, the quelling of nationwide strike planned by the Nigeria Labour Congress as some of the achievements.
According to him, President Tinubu has been more accessible to “labour and trade unions in one week, than Buhari was in four years”.
His words, “Waziri Atiku Abubakar is my preferred choice. He would have been better than Tinubu. And May the Presidential Election Petition Court give him victory.
“However, I do note that the fuel subsidy is gone. A single Naira exchange rate is emerging. The NLC has been persuaded to see reason.
“And President Tinubu is meeting with heads of strategic agencies, and giving them executive direction. The military is harmoniously subordinate to his regime.
“Nigeria has just posted a trade surplus. The stock market has received a boost and rallied. And there is relative peace in the country.
“Yes, he has known cartel links, nevertheless, President Bola Tinubu has performed very well for his first week in office.”
