CNPP disagrees with Blair on free market economy, removal of fuel subsidy
Rising from an emergency meeting at Enugu on the theme – Nigeria the way forward – bearing in mind the incoming General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB)’s administration and the dislocated economy, the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) said it disagrees with some postulations on how to fix Nigeria, especially the free market axis chorused by former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
‘Our fear is that those who propound the nebulous economic policy that government has no business in business: which simulated pervasive corruption, created huge inequality gap and pauperised our people are at it again. For us in the CNPP, what they call business is what we call critical infrastructure, which is the soul of our development.’
In his speech at the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s seminar titled – Implementing Change from Vision to Reality – Mr Blair urged GMB, to ‘Take advantage of that goodwill that comes with being elected to take difficult decisions that may inflict immediate pain, but in the long-term interest the country and government’.
