President Bola Tinubu’s administration on Tuesday said the opposition’s comparison of Nigeria’s economy with that of troubled Venezuela is unfair and inaccurate.
The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, said that although the Nigerian economy was going through challenges, comparing it to that of Venezuela, by governors elected on the platform of the main opposition party, PDP, was unfair.
“We want to state categorically that though our country is going through some rough patches, which are being addressed by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our situation is nowhere near what is happening in Venezuela,” Mr Idris wrote in a statement shared with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday.
