Bishop of the Diocese of Owo, Anglican Communion, Rev. Ayodeji Fagbemi; the Yoruba Global Council, YGC, and the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta states, Dr. Khamis Olatunde-Badmus, yesterday, urged the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, to initiate policies aimed at uniting Nigerians and alleviating pains in the country, urging him not to fail the electorate.
Fagbemi, who spoke during the 40th-anniversary celebration of the diocese, held at the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew, Imola, in Owo council area of Ondo State, tasked Tinubu to initiate policies that will alleviate years of agony and pains Nigerians have been subjected to.
He said: “Nigerians are looking up to Tinubu not to fail the country. We pray that the president-elect will be able to give hope to Nigerians.
“Nigeria has been going through a lot of pains and agony. The president-elect must look at how to bring succour to Nigerians.
“We have gone through a lot, and the policies must be such that they can bring peace, hope, and comfort to the people.
“He must be able to provide employment and meet the basic needs of communities and the country.
YGC tasks Tinubu to restructure Nigeria
Felicitating with the president-elect, the Yoruba Global Council, YGC, urged the former Lagos State governor to unite all the ethnic groups in the country, noting that the incoming administration must be impartial when allocating resources and appointments.
YGC, in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Professor Lere Amusan and general secretary, Segun Akanni, said: “The present contexts in the super-structure of the Nigerian milieu call for urgent and pragmatic interventions. As you are aware, the country needs unity and security, as recent developments and trends have depicted that certain ethnic nationalities are seriously agitating for being sequestered from the union.
“To this end, we urge you as the next president to accord premium attention to the all-important issue of restructuring the federation along the lines of just and fair allocation of national resources, lack of lopsidedness in federal appointments, the entrenchment of rule of law, independent of the judiciary, return autonomy to the 774 local government areas (as the third-tier of government and the nearest to the masses) and providing equal opportunity to all and sundry irrespective of sex, age, religion, ethnic affiliation or political leaning.
On his part, the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, Dr Khamis Olatunde-Badmus said: “The experience of the newly elected president of Nigeria as an active private sector player, senator, former Governor and democrat will go a long way in translating to policies and services that will bring a renewed hope for Nigerians and Nigeria.
“The new administration will leverage on the gains recorded by the Buhari-led administration in reducing insecurity to making Nigeria more secure for all.
