A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mumuni Abayomi Nureini, has stated that the federal government is working hard to resolve the economic crisis in the country, News About Nigeria reports.
He made this known while speaking to newsmen on Saturday, stating that leaders and elders should advise and work with the government on measures to tackle the challenges.
He also cautioned leaders and elder statesmen against statements capable of inciting the people, noting that they are supposed to inspire their people with courage and hope.
“In as much as I understand the plights and frustrations of our citizens on economic and security challenges bedevilling the country, our elder statesmen must be careful not to utter statements that can be misread by some people as a motivation to cause anarchy and unrest.
“We will all come out of these difficult times. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as we can all see, is making frantic efforts to solve the challenges. Our thought leaders and elders should be torchbearers of hope, courage and resilience. They should advise and work with the government on measures to tackle the challenges,” he said.
Mumuni, a former gubernatorial candidate of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in Lagos State, also noted that the security situation of the country is improving, charging the various security agencies to maintain their offensive against criminals and terrorists.
“We have seen how the strategies on security have improved recently. It shows responsibility on the part of the government. We have witnessed a clampdown on bandit leaders, kidnapping kingpins, terrorists and other criminal gangs. Our security agencies should maintain this energy and prevent criminals from having a foothold in our communities.
“I believe things would ultimately shape up, even on economy. More policies and measures are now being considered by the federal government to tackle the situation,” he added.
