“It is an open secret that there is economic recession in the country and I salute the perseverance and patience of our people.
“We should, however, take solace in the fact that the government of the day knows what to do and is capable of lifting Nigeria out of recession.
“I want to call on Nigerians not to relent in their support for the government at all levels because all hands must be on deck for us to restore the economy and heal our polity.”
