Speaking at a Town Hall Meeting and Mega Empowerment Programme in Ayetoro, Yewa North Local Government Area, the senator said Tinubu’s decisive actions were necessary after years of heavy borrowing under the previous administration to fund fuel subsidies and stabilise the naira.

Adeola, who also chairs the Senate Committee on Appropriations, revealed that the government had borrowed trillions of naira and over $ 400 billion to maintain the subsidy and the exchange rate. He said the policies only benefited a tiny fraction of Nigerians while dragging the economy down.

He praised President Tinubu for prioritising the future of unborn generations and urged Nigerians to remain patient as the administration’s reforms begin to yield positive results.
