Debate Sparks as APC’s Joe Igbokwe Urges Davido to Apologize Over Economy Remarks
Joe Igbokwe, a prominent APC chieftain and supporter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has recently faced criticism for his response to comments made by singer Davido regarding the Nigerian economy.
Davido had described the economy as being in shambles, a sentiment echoed by many Nigerians amidst rising inflation, currency devaluation, and widespread hardship.
Igbokwe urged Davido to retract his statement, arguing that Nigeria had significantly contributed to his global success and that such remarks could tarnish the nation’s image.
Interestingly, Igbokwe himself has publicly criticized the economic conditions under Tinubu’s administration, questioning why Nigeria’s currency is one of the weakest in Africa despite its vast resources.
This dual stance highlights a broader tension within Tinubu’s support base as the administration struggles with economic challenges, including subsidy removal and a depreciating naira.
