Saboteurs Frustrating Tinubu’s Economic Policies, Says Senate Leader

The Senate leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, has alleged that some saboteurs are frustrating President Bola Tinubu’s efforts to reinvigorate the economy and enhance living standard of Nigerians.
Bamidele said that the sabotuers were determined to undermine all the efforts being made by the current administration towards putting Nigeria on progressives path of all round socio-economic growth and development.

The senator representing Ekiti Central Senatorial District in the upper chamber who spoke on Tuesday, December 26, while addressing journalists in his Iyin-Ekiti country home in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State.

He stated that the insidious activities of saboteurs were undermining President Tinubu’s intervening efforts to revamp the country’s economy by manipulating the foreign exchange market (forex) for their personal gains.

The Senate leader said that this was hurting the manufacturing and other productive sectors as they lack access to the forex needed to import raw materials, spare parts and machine.

Bamidele added that it was unfortunate that those who felt President Tinubu’s revolutionary economic policies would affect them adversely were working hard to sabotage them by all means to protect their selfish interests at the detriment of Nigerians.

He added that Tinubu’s administration could have by now achieve much for the country but for the destructive tendency of the cabals who are fighting back over removal oil subsidy and other economic policies that appears antithetical to their interest.

He stated that the federal government, will, from next year, clamp down on the economic saboteurs as they are already on the watchlist, saying Nigeria would not succumb to the destructive tendency of the profiteers.
