Atiku, Peter Obi don’t want to hear good news of Nigeria’s improved foreign reserves – Presidency
Nigerian Foreign Reserves Reach 17-Year High, Adviser Claims Opponents Ignore Good News
Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to President Bola Tinubu, announced that Nigeria’s foreign reserves have risen to $51.04 billion as of June 18. This marks the highest level the reserves have reached in 17 years.
Onanuga made the declaration via social media platform X, noting that the previous peak occurred in January 2009, when reserves stood at $50.5 billion.
In his post, Onanuga suggested that presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, among others, are reluctant to acknowledge this positive development. “This is the good news Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, and other presidential candidates don’t want to hear,” he wrote.
He criticized their stance, asserting that they portray President Tinubu’s administration as ineffective, despite what he described as “stubborn facts” of the administration’s achievements.
