Amid concerns over frequent suspension of some officials of key government agencies, some civil society organisations have expressed the need for President
For Comrade Mark Adebayo, spokesperson of Coalition of United Political Parties , President Bola Tinubu is on the right track by removing the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele.
Concerning the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission chairman, Rasheed Bawa’s removal, he said, “I believe the President acted based on the report available to him. When Bawa was nominated to head the anti-graft commission, the Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders wrote a petition to the National Assembly not to confirm his appointment because he was corrupt, but the National Assembly ignored the petition and went ahead to confirm him.
Also commenting on the president’s leaning towards probing the activities of the last administration, a Lagos-based lawyer, Olusegun Oshinowo, said it was too early to start singing President Tinubu’s praise on his war against corruption because he may not be doing it for patriotic reasons. Speaking through their leader, Awwal Musa Rafsanjani, the CSOs said the government of Tinubu must handle the Nigerian issues with all sensitivity, adding that the president should not be distracted by probes.
Some Nigerians are of the view that the president should hit the ground running because he has no excuse to fail. “While I won’t condemn some of the steps he has taken so far, at the same time, I’ll advise him to do whatever he has to do so that Nigerians can feel his impact.” Tinubu emphasised the importance of the NEC as a platform for constructive dialogue and collaboration in tackling Nigeria’s economic challenges.
Highlighting the key areas of focus for his administration, Tinubu stressed the importance of security, economy, jobs, agriculture, and infrastructure. Emphasising the importance of political leadership in transforming the country, Yakasai shared his belief that only politicians can effectively address the challenges facing Nigeria.
