Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) has urged the Federal Government to work more and talk less on the nation’s economy, saying the current decline in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flowing into the country will worsen unless government tackles insecurity and uphold the rule of law.
The CNPP spoke while reacting to the President’s New Year message, noting: “It is obvious that investment tops President Tinubu administration’s agenda but will be very difficult to achieve in the obvious absence of security and rule of law.”
The CNPP’s reaction was contained in a statement signed by its Deputy National Publicity Secretary, James Ezema.
The group said: “Though President Tinubu affirmed that on every foreign trip he has embarked on, his message to investors and other business people has been that `Nigeria is ready and open for business, but it is not enough.”
“The Tinubu administration has continued to make promises over the past seven months as if the government is campaigning in an election rather than walking the talk.
“For the Tinubu administration to succeed, the government and its officials should stop praise-singing and celebration of its achievements. Nigerians can differentiate between a government that is working for them and the one that is not.”
