A former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank has said the quest by President
Bola Tinubu to be recognized in the Guinness World Records over reforms
initiated by him since assumption of office was a misplaced venture.
Tinubu, while addressing an audience at the 10th
German-Nigerian Business Forum, in Germany, said, “Nigeria voted for me for
reforms and from day one of my inauguration, I started the reforms. To me, if
you didn’t mention me in the Guinness Book of Records, I’d strive to find a way
to insert myself because I did it without expectation.”
But Frank in a statement issued on Friday insisted that the
only world record the President had set is to have inflicted severe economic
pains and unbearable hardship on the people.
He added that even though the President claimed he was in
Germany to woo investors, none will be willing to invest in the country because
of the negative world records he had already allegedly set.
Frank wondered why Tinubu was brandishing removal of fuel
subsidy on inauguration day as evidence that he ‘hit the ground running’.
He stressed that the President failed to realise that that
singular action had hit the average citizen with attendant pains, tears and
sorrow.
Frank pointed out that the purported reforms had wrecked the
nation’s currency, with $1 now exchanging for over N1,000.
Frank noted,: “Foreign investors will definitely not go to a
country with a flawed electoral process or where the judiciary cannot be
trusted to guarantee justice to protect their investments.”
He stressed that the President claimed that he had removed
fuel subsidy, “but fuel is still being subsidised by his administration even
though the people now languish under the burden of astronomical increases in
the pump price of fuel and other essential petroleum products.”
