The vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Kashim Shettima, has said that the one way to stabilize the economy will be to diversify sources of the country’s income.
The APC’s presidential running mate made this known to delegates at the ongoing NBA Annual general conference in Lagos.
Speaking on insecurity, Senator Shettima noted that the strength of our armed forces needs to be boosted to at least 960,000. “I will handle the security and lead the troops while my principal (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) who is an economic wizard will handle the economy.”
On his part, the PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, called for the abolishment of multiple exchange rates.
He also noted that the unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct and made a case for giving everyone a sense of belonging, so as to tackle insecurity.
The 62nd annual general conference of the Nigerian Bar Association kicked off in Lagos with an opening ceremony.
The theme is “Bold Transitions”.
Delegates include the NBA president, Olumide Akpata, the incoming president of the Body, Yakubu Maikyau, and oldest female lawyer in Nigeria, Folake Solanke (SAN).
Also present are The chief judge of Lagos state, Justice Kazeem Alogba, who is also representing the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, and the Attorney-General of Lagos, Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN) who is representing Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
