Revisiting some of your policies will put smiles on the faces of Nigerians – Bode George to President Tinubu

 

President Bola Tinubu has been advised to revisit some of his policies to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians.

Chief Bode George, a former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, gave the word of advice on Thursday while addressing a news conference on the state of the nation in Lagos,

He also enjoined the President to level up issues around oil and gas, and power sectors.

“Having been trained by this nation and worked for this country, if I see things not going the right direction and keep quiet, I will be failing. So, it is not a matter of fighting.

“Our country Nigeria is in a political and economic intensive care unit. So, we need proper surgeons- political surgeons and economic surgeons.

“We are talking about people who have gone through this before, who should be able to come to give us that freshness of breath to get out. We must put smiles on the faces of Nigerians no matter where they reside.

“Well, some of us can manage, but what about the myriads of so many young Nigerians who cannot even have any meal,” the elder statesman said.

He also wanted the president to speak the truth to Nigerians on the oil and gas sector and issues around fuel subsidy.

Expressing bewilderment that not one of 18 gas turbines bought by ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo had been fired, Chief George said that regular and cost-effective power supply remained the backbone of the economy.
