Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, has likened President Bola Tinubu to Lee Kuan Yew, the founding Prime Minister of Singapore, saying the President’s economic reforms have set Nigeria on a new path of development.
Uzodimma made the remark on Friday during a state dinner at the Imo Government House to mark the end of a three-day media inspection tour organised by the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and the Presidential Communications Team.
Describing Tinubu as a leader with a clear vision for economic transformation, the governor said the President assumed office prepared to implement difficult but necessary reforms.
“In President Bola Tinubu, we have another Lee Kuan Yew,” Uzodimma said.
He added that the administration wasted no time in rolling out reforms aimed at repositioning the country’s economy.
“The old order is gone and there is now a new order. President Tinubu knew exactly what he came to do.”
“He started implementing the reforms immediately because he understood the task before him.”
Uzodimma expressed confidence that the President’s performance would earn him another term in office in the 2027 general election.
Lee Kuan Yew, Singapore’s first Prime Minister, is widely credited with transforming the Asian nation into one of the world’s leading economies through industrialisation, merit-based governance and anti-corruption reforms.
