While expressing confidence in the administration of Tinubu to succeed, Fasua stated that the current government must be kept on its toes.

He told Legit.ng:

“I believe that the Tinubu government will do magic. But I’m maintaining eternal vigilance. If you look at my articles since Tinubu came in, I’ve also not spared him.”

Fasua continued:

“The two main decisions that have been taken (removal of fuel subsidy and N8,000 monthly palliative) are very momentum and could be very ‘choking’ to the poor. Whereas he has a lot of people around him. He is a visionary, he is a magician, he is a deal-maker. He understands transactions, he understands how to make deals, and he is a strong personality. However, the enormity of the work is something else.

“The job of a president is incredibly hard because you are rushing in between meetings everywhere, everybody under the sun wants to see you, so how are you supposed to think very deeply about the issues facing the country?
