‘Stomach Infrastructure Is Now Nigerians’ Priority Not Muslim-Muslim Ticket’ – APC Chieftain

A founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Osita Okechukwu, has said Nigerians are no longer focused on the controversy
surrounding President Bola Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket, insisting that they
are now more concerned about stomach infrastructure.

 

Speaking during an interview on Trust TV’s Sunday Politics
programme, Okechukwu said the rising cost of living and economic hardship have
become the major concerns of Nigerians.

“Nigerians are no longer talking about the Muslim-Muslim
ticket; they are now talking about stomach infrastructure,” he said.

According to him, President Tinubu’s policies over the past
three years have demonstrated that his administration is not driven by
religious considerations.

“Tinubu has shown in the last three years that he is not
making policies based on the Muslim-Muslim ticket or because he wants to favour
Muslims,” Osita added.

He also urged President Tinubu to delegate more
responsibilities to Vice President Kashim Shettima, particularly in the areas
of economic management and national security.

Citing a recent report by the International Monetary Fund,
IMF, which warned that rising prices of essential goods could worsen poverty
and food insecurity in Nigeria despite improved macroeconomic stability, Osita
argued that Shettima could play a greater role in addressing some of the
country’s economic challenges.
