Overview
Peter Obis analysis of Tinubus economic policies, simplistic, lacks substance IMPI
Independent Media and Policy Initiative (IMPI) has described recent comments by the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, on using money to drive economic productivity as not only simplistic but also hollow.
The policy group noted that Obi’s position, which he canvassed in a recent TV interview, showed a pedestrian understanding of the national economy.
In a policy statement signed by its Chairman, Dr Niyi Akinsiju, IMPI argued that economic productivity should not be a stand-alone item that could be automatically fixed with a single-dose action.
It said: “We do not begrudge Mr Obi accusing the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of being ineffective in implementing economic policies, but we consider his proposition of injecting money into productivity as the singular solution to Nigeria’s economic malaise in the first two years of this administration, if he were to be the President, as manipulative and borne of a deficient understanding of historical issues that underline Nigeria’s economic trajectory.
