From the National Leader of
the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, yesterday came
an advice to President Muhammadu Buhari to review his economic policy now to
save the citizenry.
He
also lamented the current rate of inflation, put at 18%, which is tightening
the noose on Nigerians.
Tinubu’s
concern over the economic downturn brought a similar reaction from former Vice
President Atiku Abubakar, who said on January 16, 2017, in Minna, Niger State
that Nigerians were dying of hunger. It was during a condolence visit over the
death of Governor Abdulkadir Kure.
Tinubu
also lamented the current rate of inflation at 18 per cent, which he said if
not properly checked, would worsen the situation and further impoverish the
citizenry.
Tinubu,
who made the call in his lecture, titled: “Strategic Leadership: My Political
Experiences”, at the National Defence College (NDC), Course 25 in Abuja, said
it was time the APC leadership stand and criticise certain policies of
government when the need arises.
He
said: “We have to criticise ourselves when it is necessary, speak truth to the
power, we are the power, we will talk the truth to ourselves.
