The Muslim Media Watch Group of Nigeria (MMWG) has called on Nigerians to support the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
MMWG also called for the adoption of the parliamentary system as a new political system that would ensure that the masses benefit more from governance against the present presidential system which prioritises the welfare of the public officers.
In its Sallah message to mark the end of Ramadan, the group stated that the current economic hardship worsened by petroleum subsidy withdrawal was precipitated by bad leadership of the past, insincerity and corruption.
It expressed the hope that with the steps being taken by the current administration, the prices of fuel will soon come down which would eventually force down the escalating prices of goods and services.
In the statement signed its National Coordinator, Alh Abdullahi Ibrahim, the media group said the strength being gained by the Naira against dollars is as a result of economic measures being put in place by the Federal Government to improve the nation’s economy, which calls for the support of all and sundry.
It, however, called on both the federal and state governments to take urgent steps to stabilise power supply in the country for enhanced socio-economic development.
MMWG also called for political reform that would make good governance a reality; pointing out that the current presidential system of democracy favours the political office holders than the masses.
“Whatever, the economic measures and policies fashioned under the current dispensation cannot reflect positively in lives of the people as there are loopholes that give room for too much corruption that impedes welfare of the people and provision of social infrastructures.
“The MMWG, therefore, call on patriotic Nigerian leaders, civil society groups, religious leaders and well-meaning individuals, to convince the present administration to initiate pragmatic steps that would lead the country to a new political order that would change our political system from presidential to parliamentary system,” MMWG added.
