Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the leading Igbo sociocultural organization, has advised President Bola Tinubu to reorganize his economic team in a calculated manner.
Ohanaeze said that the growing problems in the North and Southwest would be resolved by carefully reorganizing his economic team.
It stated that Tinubu ought to follow in the footsteps of former President Olusegun Obasanjo and give prominent Igbos leadership over his reorganized economic team.
Factional Secretary-General of Ohanaeze Okechukwu Isiguzoro said in a statement he signed, said: “President Tinubu should promptly consider a strategic overhaul of his Economic Team to address the escalating crises witnessed in the North and Southwest regions.
“It is paramount for President Tinubu to recognize the prevailing atmosphere of relative peace in the Southeast, underscored by the absence of rampant looting of essential resources that has plagued regions such as Abuja, parts of the North, and Southwest.
“Acknowledging the integral role played by Ndigbo as the economic backbone of Nigeria, President Tinubu is implored to draw inspiration from the leadership demonstrated by former president Obasanjo’s economic team, which was steered by globally renowned Igbo economists. Central to this proposal is the establishment of a new economic consortium led by Igbo professionals and advocating for Nigeria’s integration into the BRICS economic bloc, fostering a robust Naira that can compete effectively with other currencies through the discontinuation of the Dollar in Nigeria.”
