The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has urged President-elect Bola Tinubu to assemble a team made up of intellectuals and professionals to come up with an economic recovery blueprint for Nigeria.

Mr Ogunwusi made the call in a congratulatory message to President-elect Bola Tinubu.

”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,” said the Yoruba monarch. “You must move into action in a way that will further assure Nigerians of the ‘renewed hope’. As a tested and trusted cerebral team leader that you are, you must in a couple days present your transition team of cerebral men and women to give us an economic recovery blueprint.”

Mr Ogunwusi added, “Nigerians have voted for you because of your promise of a ‘renewed hope’ and you must swiftly from your first day in office set the ball rolling in a manner that will further assure Nigerians of the ‘renewed hope’.”

He described Mr Tinubu as a man of destiny, a game changer and a progressive workaholic.

“You have adequately proven capacity to lead the country to an enviable position in the global committee of nations. I congratulate you and your amiable wife on behalf of the Oduduwa race worldwide as you have victoriously emerged as the president-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” stated the monarch.
