Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State praised President Tinubu for “taking the bullet” by implementing bold economic reforms.

Speaking to FRCN North Central, he argued that the President’s courage in tackling long-standing issues has saved the nation from total financial collapse.

Sule identified the fuel subsidy removal and exchange rate unification as pivotal, high-stakes decisions. He noted that executing both at once required immense political will. These choices, though tough, have provided states with the fiscal “breathing room” needed for real growth.

Dismissing critics’ “big grammar,” the Governor insisted Nigeria was previously “living a fake life” on an unsustainable bubble. He stated that by removing these distortions, the President has finally forced the country to face a necessary, albeit difficult, economic reality.

Sule emphasized that the current hardships are the price of shifting toward a sustainable future. He claimed the President has “taken us to where we truly belong,” ending an era of subsidizing a lifestyle the nation could no longer afford.

The Governor concluded by urging support for these adjustments. He framed the reforms as a selfless sacrifice for the next generation’s independence. His remarks highlight a strategic push to justify the administration’s “pain-for-gain” economic philosophy.
