When CAN leadership met with Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege in the National Assembly on Thursday, President Samson Ayokunle addressed.
As election season approaches, Ayokunle advised politicians not to inflame the public with their statements.
Ayokunle asked them to keep in mind that there is already a lot of anxiety in Nigeria owing to insecurity.
“We urge that a balance of both religious practitioners be considered. We don’t want Christian/Christian ticket nor Muslim/Muslim ticket”, he said.
Ayokunle expressed disappointment with the economic downturn and its consequences on the people.
The CAN President called for quick actions and policies that will cushion the effect.
“Unemployment is at an unimaginable level. While we appreciate the efforts of the legislature in calling the attention of the executive, more robust and daring efforts are required
“Enabling environment should be created for investments and incentives or tax exceptions given to local manufacturers on some goods”, Ayokunle added.
