Former Edo Governor, Adams
Oshiomhole has advised the Nigerian government to fix problems facing the
county.
Oshiomole, also a former
President, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) spoke at the 26th Convocation Lecture
of the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), Ikorodu.
Speaking on petrol subsidy, the
ex-governor said rather than subsidising petroleum products, the government
should handover the refineries to competent private investors who would manage
and run them.
“Rather than to lament and
agonize, what we need do is to organize and tackle those things that have
brought us down as a nation.
“As Nigerians we must recognise
the problems confronting the country so as to diagnose and prescribe solutions
to fix them.
“The responsibility of leaders is
so fix the country rather than join the citizens to lament”, NAN quoted him as
saying.
“When one notices that an
environment is oppressive, what is expected of the victim is not to sit down to
lament but to devise a way out of the problem,” he said.
He, however, hailed President
Muhammadu Buhari on the war against corruption, saying it recorded remarkable
results.
“The era of impunity of do it and
nothing will happen is almost over in Nigeria; this is an era bringing every
offender to book no matter their status”, he added.
