His words: “The palliative is not the earn gain. The end gain is to revive our economy and get us back into productive economy that will ensure the welfare of the people. Palliative is a temporary measure and we believe that this is a federation, the state governments should be in the position to deliver those palliatives to the people.
“I believe it is a matter of time. when the prices will stabilize and then, the Nigerian people would be able to get the benefits accruable from the savings which can now be used to develop our economy.”
Bashiru appealed to members of the APC in the state to.cocntinue to work assiduously for the party noting that the electoral defeat suffered by the party was a temporary.

“I want to thank all our supporters for standing with the party in the last general elections.
“APC garnered more than 113,000 votes in Osun Central Senatorial District in the last election.
