Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to constitute a sound economic team that will help him salvage Nigeria from its economic woes.
Ekweremadu, in a Sallah message advised that the team should cut across board, putting aside party affiliation.
He also urged Muslim faithful to use the occasion of the Eid-el-Kabir to pray for the nation’s quick recovery of the nation.
The Deputy President of the Senate maintained that the present economic challenges were not beyond redemption, but could actually become the nation’s turning point away from an oil-depedent economy only if the right policies and structures were put in place.
He said, “I warned long ago that elections had come and gone and we should move from politics to governance. It is time for governance and we must bring all capable hands on the deck, irrespective of political, religious or ethnic backgrounds.
“Nigerians are facing hard times; and all they are interested in are positive results and urgent succour. They don’t care whether you are All Progressives Congress, APC, or Peoples Democratic Party, PDP and whether you are North or South.
“The good news is that capable hands abound in the country. We must assemble them and give them both the mandate and liberty to help the president’s team to revamp the nation’s economy.”
