Tinubu’s reforms can put Nigeria on path to economic growth – Afenifere organising secretary

President Tinubu's economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies, have been endorsed by Afenifere's National Organising Secretary, Kole Omololu, who believes they can lead to economic growth in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has addressed concerns about President Tinubu's prolonged absence from the country, stating that there is no vacancy in the Presidency and that Tinubu remains in charge. According to Akpabio, Tinubu is on a "working leave" and continues to run the country's affairs from abroad.

Akpabio also dismissed suggestions that he was acting President, emphasizing that Tinubu is still in power and that his absence, along with that of Vice President Kashim Shettima, does not create a leadership vacuum.
