Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said that this is the time to stop squandering the nation’s wealth because everyone must be ready to sacrifice in 2016.
Obasanjo said this while speaking at the after a church service in Abeokuta, Ogun state.
He said “We have had downs in our economy before, we have risen up again, we have made money, we have squandered it, and we must now really, if we are sensible at all – there must be an end to squandering.
“That is the first thing by everybody. I still believe that there are still areas of government that are not serious enough. To make us feel that what is being said is something that would concern all of us.
“I believe that all arms of governments and the private sector should realise that if we are going to shorten the time of this hardship, if we are going to have any cushioning effects for the ordinary people, then there would have to be sacrifice made by those who have to make more sacrifice.”
