Renowned businessman and founder of Coscharis Group, Cosmas Maduka, has stated that Peter Obi would not have implemented policies different from those of the current administration had he won the presidential election.
Speaking in an interview on Mic On Podcast with Okinbaloye via YouTube on Saturday, Maduka asserted that Nigeria is moving in the right direction despite the challenges, emphasising that critical economic policies, such as subsidy removal, would have been inevitable under any government.
“People have asked me, will Peter Obi have done anything different if he won the election? I said no. He would have removed subsidy from day one also,” he said.
On concerns over the naira’s depreciation and economic hardship, Maduka acknowledged the challenges but insisted that government must reinvest subsidy savings into infrastructure to benefit the wider public.
