The National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA),
Dr Victor Oye, on Saturday urged the Federal Government to take
urgent steps to reposition the country’s economy.
Oye, who made the call in an interview with the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) in Awka, described the state of the economy as
disturbing.
He, however, said that the development was not peculiar to
Nigeria, but a global phenomenon, which demanded urgent
policies to bring the economy back on track.
The APGA chief blamed the downturn in the economy on the fall
in revenue, due to the fall in oil prices in the international market.
“The Nigerian situation is awful and many citizens are
disenchanted with what is going on in the economy.
“But I want to quickly point out that the entire blame should not
go to the government because it is a global phenomenon due to
the fall in oil prices and low demand.
“Even the advanced economies are not spared of the challenges.
“But Nigeria presents a pitiful case because even in the midst of
plenty, most of our people still wallow in squalor and the level of
poverty today is frightening,” he said.
Oye said that an APGA government would have embarked on the
development of blueprint that could provide a short and medium-
term solution for economic revival.
He called on President Muhammadu Buhari to heed the clarion call
and constitute an economic team comprising the best brains
Nigeria could offer to salvage the economy.
“If APGA were to be in government, we would have come up
with a blueprint that will solve this economic quagmire, because
the problem has to do with the team that is managing the
economy.
“I expect Buhari to set up an economic team or re-invigorate the
team, so that we can get the best possible from them because
Nigeria has the best.
“Nigerians massively voted him and many are becoming
impatient, so the onus is on him to prove that the people were
right in their choice, and that he is capable,’’ he said.
The APGA chairman commended the anti-corruption fight of the
government, expressing confidence that he could turn around the
fortunes of Nigeria.
He, however, urged Nigerians to be patient with the new
administration.
“I believe that Buhari has the capacity to right the chequered
history of this country; as an individual, I have confidence in him.
“As a matter of fact, many people did not think that the president
can go this far.
“ I believe that nothing comes easy; Nigerians will suffer for some
time before things start to take shape, so, we must be patient,” he
said. (NAN)

Nice talk there, but after the talk, we wont see any action.

“Nigerians massively voted him and many are becoming
impatient, so the onus is on him to prove that the people were
right in their choice, and that he is capable,’’

Leave grammar, the statement above meaningfully summarised the whole talk.
