State governors and senior civil servants have been tasked to give maximum support to President Bola Tinubu in his efforts to fix Nigeria’s economy.
The call is contained in a statement issued by Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Osun State on Sunday.
Oyintiloye said it was not possible for the president alone to achieve his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ for the people without the support of governors and top civil servants.
He insisted that the governors needed to support the various initiatives of the president in fixing the economy by utilising their monthly allocation for poverty alleviation in their various states.
The APC chieftain said the various efforts of the president in fixing the economy may not be immediately visible to many Nigerians if the state governors refused to utilise their monthly allocation for the benefit of the masses in their states.
According to him, “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.
“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.
“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.
“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, however, appealed to the masses to be patient with the president, adding that with all the various interventions the president is putting in place, the country will soon attain the height of desired greatness.
