APC leader urges governors not to obstruct Tinubu’s attempts at repairing Nigeria

An instruction has been given to the state governors and high-ranking civil servants to provide utmost assistance to President Bola Tinubu as he strives towards resolving Nigeria’s economy.

On Sunday, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, released a statement that includes the instruction.

According to Oyintiloye, the accomplishment of the president’s “Renewed Hope Agenda” for citizens cannot be actualized solely by his endeavors and rather necessitates cooperation from governors as well as high-ranking government officials.

The President’s initiatives to improve the economy require support from governors who should allocate their monthly funds towards poverty alleviation within their states, as insisted by him.

According to the APC official, “What the state governors are earning from the federal allocation since the removal of the fuel subsidy is capable of putting smiles on the faces of the people if judiciously used…[CONTINUE READING HERE]>>

“This is the time for state governors, irrespective of political affiliation joins the president in fixing the economy by attending to the welfare of the people.

“What the president is doing at the centre to fix the economy will only be meaningful to the people if the state governors can lend a helping hand.

“What the governors are currently collecting as monthly allocation is more than enough to lift the people out of poverty in relation to what the president is doing.

“While the masses are shouting the name of the president at every slight discomfort, they should also hold their governors accountable, asking them what they are doing with the improved monthly allocation.

“To set the record straight, the governors have to come out and tell people of their states the amount they have collected since June last year and how they have administered the funds.

“In the reckoning of most Nigerians now, the governors are seen as part of those sabotaging efforts of the president to lessen effects of the removal of fuel subsidy on the people.”

In addition, he emphasized that the president’s efforts to fix the economy should not be impeded by unnecessary bureaucracy and urged senior civil and permanent secretaries to ensure this doesn’t happen.

“They should heed the directive of the president during his meeting with them in which he warned against ineffectiveness and unnecessary bureaucracy that could result in the delay of interventions in the economy and programmes targeting vulnerable citizens.

“This is the time for the senior civil servants and the Permanent Secretaries to be on the same page with the president towards improving the lives of Nigerians by acting with dispatch on matters that border on the welfare of citizens.

“We are in a very critical situation in which unnecessary bureaucracy which can hinder the efforts of the president be suspended.

“Any act of sabotage in whatever form in the civil service should be rooted out for the sake of the benefit of the masses,” he said.

Oyintiloye urged the public to exercise patience with the president, highlighting that his efforts towards introducing diverse interventions will ultimately lead the country to achieve its coveted state of greatness…[CONTINUE READING HERE]>>
