The New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) on Thursday said Nigeria was already bleeding before the emergence of President Bola Tinubu.
Appraising Tinubu’s administration in the last year, the Founder of the party, Dr Boniface Aniebonam, said the President was aware of the crisis in the country before coming into power.
Aniebonam told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that it was in recognition of the challenges the nation had that made the President to come up with the Renewed Hope Agenda to tackle it headlong.
“The President is human and may have taken some wrong decisions like removing the cankerworm of corruption-infested oil subsidy without first planning on cushioning the effects but it will be good in the long run.
“Therefore, this is the time for all Nigerians to be more determined to work hard and make sacrifices for the good of our country,” he said.
According to Aniebonam, Tinubu and members of his cabinet have successfully taken Nigeria away from the intensive care unit to the general ward.
“This simply means that there is hope for Nigeria’s greatness shortly.
“Going forward, it is the belief of members of new NNPP that the greatness of Nigeria is in the hands of Nigerians.
“To achieve this objective, we must enhance productivity in the area of education, rule of law and order, science and technology, agriculture, industrialisation and avoidable acts of corruption and public disorder.
“Therefore, this is not the time to apportion blame in the name of opposition to whatever government does. Opposition must be responsible and constructive in all criticisms, with respect and patriotism.
“It is, therefore, a time to advise and encourage the President and leaderships of the Legislative houses and Judiciary to continue to ensure that every of their actions are for the good of the general welfare of Nigerians.
“It is our firm belief that political patronage should be done in a manner that it does not affect the mantra of renewed hope for Nigeria,” he said.
He urged the President to ensure that the most qualified persons shall be deployed to critical and strategic positions to drive the process of renewed hope for a greater Nigeria of our dreams.
Aniebonam, however, said that the President should ensure that Nigeria’s Federal Highways were put in very good conditions to reduce accidents, kidnappings and related criminalities. (NAN)
