A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Chief Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has appealed to state governors and civil servants to support President Bola Tinubu in his efforts at repositioning the economy.
Oyintiloye said that the president couldn’t achieve his Renewed Hope agenda without the support of the governors and civil servants, who were the engine room of the government.
The former lawmaker said this while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo.
Oyintiloye said that state governors needed to support the various initiatives of the president at repositioning the economy, by utilising their monthly allocation for poverty alleviation in their various states.
“This is the time for state governors, irrespective of political affiliations, to join the president in fixing the economy by attending to the welfare of the people.
“What the president is doing at the centre to fix the economy will only be meaningful to the people, if the state governors can lend a helping hand.
“What the governors are currently collecting as monthly allocation is more than enough to lift the people out of poverty in relation to what the president is doing.
“While the masses are shouting the name of the president at every slight discomfort, they should also hold their governors accountable in what they are doing with the improved monthly allocation,” he said.
Oyintiloye also appealed to senior civil servants, mostly the permanent secretaries, not to allow unnecessary bureaucracy to undermine the efforts of the president at repositioning the economy.
