Former Abia State Governor and Senator representing Abia North, Orji Uzor Kalu, has defended President Bola Tinubu’s reforms, predicting that the President will win by a landslide in the 2027 presidential election.
Kalu made the remarks on Monday during an appearance on Arise PrimeTime, the flagship evening current affairs programme of Arise News Television, where he defended Tinubu’s economic reforms, stating, “Nigeria’s economy has stabilised.”
The former Senate Chief Whip, who currently chairs the Senate Committee on the South East Development Commission, defended the Tinubu administration against criticism over the economic hardship associated with its reforms.
He argued that the President had successfully stabilised Nigeria’s economy at the macroeconomic level, although more work remained to improve conditions at the household and business levels.
According to him, the immediate challenge before the administration is translating macroeconomic stability into tangible economic growth, increased manufacturing capacity, employment opportunities and improved living conditions.
