– Says the current economic predicament is not the making or
choosing of the present administration
– Urges Nigerians to join hands with this government until
the clouds of recession reseeds
Tinubu has urged Nigerians to join hands with this
government to overcome the economic recession. The national leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has predicted that the country
would overcome the current economic crisis. Bola Tinubu, in an Eid-el-Kabir
message from his media office, called on Nigerians to see this current economic
situation as a passing phase. He said: “This economic predicament is not of our
making or choosing. It came not by invitation.
The economic downturn represents a tough challenge not
lightly overcome. No one wished that such an impediment would confront us. Now,
we must rise to the occasion. Our economic situation presents an opportunity
for us to do something we have avoided too long. “The present circumstance
demands that we engage in a discourse concerning the type of “post-oil era”
economy we truly want and what are the ideological underpinnings and policy
thrusts needed to erect this new architecture. The former Lagos state governor
called for the drive to reverse the current economy crisis to begin with
boosting of the agricultural sector, leading to a diversification of the
economy.
He urged Nigerians to join hands with this government until
the clouds of recession receeds, adding that Nigerians deserve a better
country, more empowerment, job opportunities and an overall strong economy.
Meanwhile, former education minister, Oby Ezekwesili, has blamed President
Muhammadu Buhari’s policies for the current economy recession experienced in
the country. According to Vanguard, the former minister in a whatsApp message
last night, September, 11, described statements by the minister of information,
Lai Mohammed, that the past government was responsible for the current economic
decline as incompetent lies. Ezekwesili said the truth about Nigeria’s
recession is that it was caused by the Buhari’s unguided rhetoric and
uncultured body language.
