Contrary to a report, the South West Agenda for Asiwaju (SWAGA) has dismissed claim that it demanded the resignation of the Minister of Finance and the coordinating Minister of the Economy Mr Wale Edun.
It also restated its commitment and loyalty to the reform agenda of the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
The clarification was made by the national Secretary, Honourable Bosun Oladele in a statement on Monday, who described the report as not only mischievous but the handiwork of opposition elements.
“The statement by an unknown and faceless Otunba Adedayo Adewole who claimed to be President of SWAGA, circulating on social media is a poorly executed attempt to paint SWAGA black and portray the group as engaging in destructive criticism of a government which SWAGA helped to install since 2020 while naysayers were clueless and busy sleeping.
“Let it be on record that SWAGA has no president in its organization’s structure and we are not ready to start appointing a “president” to lead our group.
“There is only one SWAGA and it is headed by Senator Dayo Adeyeye, the current Chairman of Governing Board of Nigerian Ports Authority. We challenge Otunba Adewole and his own group to be bold enough to identify themselves and come out in public if they belong to SWAGA at all.
“We, as a group, are in full support of the reforms that President Tinubu has introduced in our taxation, economy, finance and fiscal policies and we stand proud to say that these were the qualities we identified in his leadership and started preaching to Nigerians and we remain proud that we were right.
“It is only a fool that will not recognise that our Naira is now stable, the percentage of revenue in debt servicing has reduced to 50% from 90%, foreign reserve has climbed up to $41 Billion, the revenue target in 2025 budget has been met in August, diplomacy and foreign relations policy of Nigeria is redirected already and yielding investment inflows.
“We, in SWAGA, are convinced that Nigeria, its finances and economy are in safe hands and we have been emboldened to start the Second round of our mobilization for Mr. President in SWAGA 2.0.
“We encourage the President to lead his team and put Nigeria on the path of growth and development in line with his renewed hope agenda.”
