Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola said on Tuesday that he remains proud of President Bola Tinubu following what he described as his “bold and forward-thinking reforms”.
Mr Otedola posted a photo of himself and Tinubu on Instagram, saying they had a private dinner in Paris, France, Monday night.
According to Otedola, President Tinubu’s reforms have put the Nigerian economy “firmly on a path of sustainable growth”.
He continued in his post, “The results are increasingly evident top Nigerian companies now included on the FTSE Russell Frontier 50 Index, the NGX at historic highs, increased foreign direct investment and renewed economic confidence, a unified and more stable foreign exchange market, foreign reserves standing strong at about $55 billion, and so much more.”
“I remain proud of you, Mr. President!” Otedola added.
Tinubu is expected back in Nigeria on Tuesday following a four-week leave that began on August 30 when he departed Abuja for London.
After spending about a week in London, the president travelled to Paris, where he held meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron and businessman Vincent Bolloré, whose business interests include Canal+, MultiChoice and Universal Music Group.
The president, according to his aides, will arrive in Lagos on Tuesday where he will mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary on October 1 before returning to Abuja at the weekend.
