The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Senator Sunday Karimi has advocated for national reorientation for the citizens as the practical way to tackle the multifaceted challenges facing Nigeria as a Nation.
This was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on the state of the Nation, insisting that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu meant well for the country.
According to Senator Karimi who is also the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Services, “as we attempt to get things right, we have to deal with the plague that is rooted in our National lifestyles.
“That is the plague of getting rich through any means, no matter how dirty. That’s the reason kidnapping has remained a big-time business in Nigeria. That is why people are stealing from the government every day and getting away with plea bargain.
“There is need for National reorientation to deal with root of all our problems. He that covereth sins shall not prosper, but he that confesseth and forsake them, the Lord will have mercy.
“Floating of Naira in the Forex market is not working yet, because of the inherent corruption and indiscipline in our National Live styles.

“Let us face the reality, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu mean well for our nation by introducing the single exchange rate, instead of continuing with multiple exchange rates that he met, through which some privileged Nigerians had turned themselves into multi-billioneers owning financial houses all over the place at the expense of our country.
“To be frank, many Nigerians are not patriotic, the tendency is always to defraud the system and get rich quickly. They will cut corners, round trip, and warehouse dollars with stolen funds.
“Most of the Bureau De Change, BDC today are own by these same set of people. They are doing all sorts to frustrate the lofty plan of President Tinubu.
“The recent N30 billion each given to state governments for palliative to reduce the problems of the suffering masses, most of the money will find it way to forex market thereby further devaluing the naira and the masses will be at the receiving end because the prices of goods and services will go haywire as we are currently witnessing in the country
“As a Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I make bold to say that once the National reorientation is vigorously pursued, within the next six months or so, Nigeria will change for a better country and a toast of the International Community, especially with the type of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the nation’s President and crops of the Lawmakers at the National Assembly”.
