A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Imo State, Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, has felicitated President Bola Tinubu on the occasion of his 72nd birthday.

Araraume said the fact that the anniversary coincided with the Christians’ Good Friday was unique and indicated very strongly the purposeful hand of God in the life of the president and in the affairs of Nigeria.

According to the grassroots politician, “whereas, the economic situation in Nigeria appears very unfriendly, I take the opportunity of Mr President’s birthday today to encourage him not to give up, but he should rather give the nation’s economic management his best shot.

“Significantly, the president has always said: ‘I asked for the job.’ This is an audacious statement and admission by a sharply-focused and determined leader to deliver on promises made.

“I trust in his capacity to address the core mandates of his administration: to build resilience for the Nigerian economy, which, I believe, will rebound sooner than later on his watch.

“I urge Nigerians to patiently cooperate with the president in the arduous task of rebuilding the economy through a plethora of policies that may appear somewhat tough. ”

Araraume said he was rest assured that the policies would undergird the president’s renewed hope agenda and birth a prosperous Nigeria.

“Overall, I wish Mr President well and many happy returns to celebrate his many governmental successes which are nested in the womb of time. Happy birthday, Mr President,” Araraume declared.

Present also at the meeting were the Chairman of the NASC, Engineer Ahmed Amshi, two commissioners from NASC, and some permanent secretaries in the NASS bureaucracy.

THE CONCLAVE learnt that the high-level meeting took place in the Senate President’s residence.

Reports from the meeting said that the chairman of the NASC and his commissioners could not justify the appointment of Atiku when asked by the speaker how the choice of Atiku was arrived at.

THE CONCLAVE reports that it was at that point that the commission chairman sought the leave of the Senate President and the Speaker to ask that the permanent secretaries present should excuse them since they could not be sitting over a matter in which they had personal interest.
