In an address delivered on June 12 on the Nigeria platform, hosted by the shepherd Poju Oyade and the nation of the alliance, the Soludo Governor praised the economic reforms of President Tinubu. He asked for an ethical and ideological rebirth at national level to guide sustainable national development.
Speaking on the theme “reconstructing our nation”, Soludo urged political parties throughout the country to join along the ideological lines as the first step towards a new political culture based on issues.
“The bold structural reforms undertaken by the current administration of He Bola Ahmed Tinubu saved the economy from the turning point.
“The sponsorships by the World Bank, the IMF, the London Financial Times, the rating agencies: they are deserved moody.
“Many people know that I have earned to live by criticizing the World Bank and the IMF. As a governor of Anambra, I even rejected a loan from the World Bank due to the terms. On the trajectory of current economic reforms, the World Bank, etc.” neoliberal, out of touch institutions “.
“In 2023, I had described the state of the economy when this government assumed the office as similar to a permanent dead horse, and public finance was about to overturn from solvency, with potentially catastrophic consequences, including possible mass reduced workers and/or backward salaries and pensions. Public finance has returned to a path of relief and is recovering for workers.
Recognizing the broad spectrum of opinions of experts on the economic perspectives of Nigeria, Soludo urged public commentators to adopt a more rigorous approach based on evidence to economic criticism.
“Many analysts have interesting” opinions “, but urges them to deepen: lead rigorous counter -factual analyzes and provide credible alternatives! As a friend recently said, the task is always easy, especially if you are not the one to do it,” he said.
While recognizing that the list of national reforms proposed, from the constitutional renovation and from safety to infrastructure and anti -corruption, is wide, the former governor of the CBN stressed that the critical issue is like implementing these reforms effectively within a company to build resources and not equal.
Beyond the economy, the governor of Anambra, who is also the leader of the great alliance of All progressiveives, stressed that the future of Nigeria is based on the character and values of its citizens, not only to leadership.
He asked for an ethical renewal at national level and strategic investments in the Nigerian people to inspire patriotism and altruistic service.
“We must deliberately create a critical mass of” new Nigerians ” – who believe in her and are ready, if necessary, to die for her.
“The struggle for liberation from colonialism would not have been possible without the nationalists of the time and the current struggle to free it from the underdevelopment cannot be sustainable with today’s” neo-nationalists “.
“No nation has thrived in a sustainable way without a critical patriotic, vigilant and actively participatory citizenship mass,” he said.
The governor complained of the erosion of the traditional values of the Nigeria of hard work, integrity and business, warning against a growing national culture that glorifies the non -acquired wealth and the shortcuts to success:
“The” culture “that celebrates and expects something for nothing or the work without work must give way to a culture that rewards and celebrates hard work, business and integrity. In a society in which nobody asks/worries about the sources of sustenance or in which most people expect and celebrate not evaluated/free money, transformative transformative transactional governance.”
Soludo has indicated the recent initiatives of the Federal State Government and Anambra as fundamental investments that could encourage a new generation of patriotic citizens.
These include the student loan system in the Federal Government, One Youth of Anambra, two skills and greater expenditure for free education and health care.
“The shortest answer is to give citizens to play the company by investing in their future … these programs excite young/students and hope that they can create” stakeholders “in future projects,” he said.
He asked for a national effort to combat beliefs widespread in magical wealth, saying that this mentality must be entitled against, addressed through education and contrasted by cultural influence, in particular in the media.
“It is my thesis that a society in which nobody asks/worries about the sources of sustenance or in which most people expect and celebrate the money not acquired/free is the one in which the transactional government always exceeds transformational leadership.”
Underlining the need for unity around the progressive values and the ideological realignment of the political order of Nigeria, said the governor:
“We must break this vicious” culture “and intentionally promote the rebirth of ethical value. This is a national emergency that requires an urgent national conversation.”
