The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has urged Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the incoming president, to assemble a group of experts and thinkers to develop a strategy for Nigeria’s economic recovery.
In a letter of congratulations to Tinubu that was penned by his director of media and publicity, Moses Olafare, the royal father made the call.
Ooni said, “You must immediately assemble a transition team of cerebral men and women to come up with an economic recovery blueprint upon your inauguration on May 29.
“Nigerians have voted for you because of your promise of a Renewed Hope, and you must act swiftly from your first day in office to set the ball rolling in a manner that will further assure Nigerians of the Renewed Hope.”
On Wednesday morning, Tinubu was declared the victor of the presidential election held on February 25.
He defeated the leading opposition contenders, Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
