Obi urges FG to prioritise critical sectors
Politics
THE Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 General Elections, Mr Peter Obi, has urged the Federal Government to prioritise critical areas of the economy, such as Education and Health, in view of the present global reality.
Obi gave the advice on Monday in Ibadan during an interactive session with newsmen shortly after paying a condolence visit to Gov. Seyi Makinde at the Government House, over the January 16 Bodija explosion.
He also called for a drastic cut in the cost of governance, especially at the federal level, saying that the way things were going were not acceptable.
He charged the Federal Government to initiate measures that would pull Nigerians out of poverty, saying, “Elections are over and governance is the key thing”.
The former Anambra governor charged Nigerians to contribute their quota toward turning around the fortunes of the country, saying that everyone should be involved in the task of developing the country.
He commiserated with Makinde and the people of Oyo State over what he described as “an unfortunate incident” and commended the State Government “for responding promptly when the explosion occured”.
Makinde, who thanked Obi for the visit, said that investigation was still ongoing to unravel the masterminds of the explosion.(NAN)
