Oshiomhole, expressing renewed confidence in Nigeria’s economic health, praised the Central Bank’s management of the national currency. The Naira, according to him, is showing signs of robust recovery, echoing foreign media reports that have touted it as potentially the best-performing currency of 2024. This optimism is a breath of fresh air given the currency’s past struggles against the dollar.

Despite acknowledging the current high cost of living, Oshiomhole remained positive about the economic outlook, emphasizing ongoing efforts to stabilize the economy and relieve financial pressures on Nigerians. His discussion with President Tinubu also veered into the political arena, specifically the preparation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the forthcoming elections in Edo State.

Oshiomhole conveyed strong confidence in the APC’s unity and readiness, stating that internal disagreements stemming from the primaries have been amicably resolved. He pointed out the contrast between the APC’s cohesive strategy and the turmoil within rival parties, particularly the Labour Party, suggesting a clear advantage for the APC.

With a comprehensive campaign plan waiting in the wings, the APC is poised to hit the ground running once the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) gives the green light for campaigning on April 24. Oshiomhole’s enthusiasm for the electoral process and the party’s mobilization efforts was palpable, underscoring a strategic approach to winning the hearts and minds of Edo’s electorate.

The meeting with President Tinubu was not only strategic but also imbued with a sense of familial support, though Oshiomhole acknowledged the bulk of the electoral responsibility lies with the APC’s local leadership and supporters in Edo.

As the political landscape heats up in anticipation of the Edo elections, Oshiomhole’s visit to President Tinubu underscores a united front within the APC and a shared optimism for Nigeria’s economic recovery and political stability.

Adams Oshiomhole, former governor of Edo State, has sarcastically thanked the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for “giving” Nyesom Wike to the Tinubu administration.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Oshiomhole, who also served as the former President of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), praised Wike for his developmental efforts and expressed gratitude to the PDP for allowing him to serve as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the APC government.

Wike, previously a staunch PDP member, supported APC’s Bola Tinubu during the 2023 presidential election after a fallout with his party. As a reward for his support, Wike was appointed FCT Minister.

Oshiomhole compared the situation to a football club letting its “best player” join a rival team. “Thank you, PDP, for giving us Nyesom Wike to help us fix Abuja,” he said. “When you give your best player to another club, you pay a heavy price.”

The lawmaker representing Edo North also joked about the PDP’s decision, saying they didn’t ask for a transfer fee and hinted that the APC might not want to return Wike, even joking about setting up a toll gate to prevent it.

At a New Year luncheon in Port Harcourt, Oshiomhole praised Wike for his contributions to Abuja, highlighting his commitment to the rule of law and environmental regulations.
