The Northern  Christain Youth Professionals (NCYP) has felicitated the  President-elect and other Muslim faithfuls for marking the Eid-el-Fitri, while urging him on credible team to tackle Nigeria's problems

This was contained in a statement by NCYP, being a goodwill message to the President-elect which was signed by its national leader, Mr Isaac Abrak and made available to newsmen on Friday in Kaduna.

He reminded the President-elect, Sen. Bola Tinubu that Nigerians voted him based on  the track record he set during his tenure as the Governor of Lagos State, therefore, urging him not to compromise his sterling leadership quality.

According to him, Tinubu transformed Lagos into one of the biggest economies in Africa because he assembled  team of people who understood his God-given call for service to humanity. 

Abrak added that the cabinet who made up his administration  as the then Governor of Lagos,  were patriotic Nigerians drawn from all ethnic and religious backgrounds based on merit. 

He therefore task him to in the same vein, appoint credible and competent hands to pilot the affairs in various ministries, departments and agencies.

"We strongly remind the President-elect not to compromise on this standard as he chooses his kitchen cabinet, advisers, and other government principals. This standard is what Nigerians voted for in him, and they do not expect anything less but even better,"he said.

The group also task the President-elect to be mindful of the security and economic hardships  bedeviling Nigerians while urging him to hit the ground running with policies aimed at ameliorating the hardships  with the help of carefully assembled team members.

"The NCYP recognises that Tinubu's presidency is coming at a time when the Nigerian people have been stretched by economic and security hardships to the highest limit. As such, the country cannot afford to be stretched beyond its elastic limit. 

"Thus, only a team with the character of selfless service and spirit of  patriotism like that of Tinubu's days in the Lagos government.

"He should hit the ground running by begining to improve the living conditions of all Nigerians, uniting the country, and setting it on the path of transforming into the great nation envisioned by our founding fathers,"Abrak urged.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
