It will be recalled that the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, on Monday released the Gross Domestic Product, GDP, growth rate for the second quarter of this year, with the economy recording a decline in performance from 1.95 per cent in the first quarter to 1.5 percent.

The PDP presidential aspirant who addressed the party’s delegates ahead of the September convention, said that  the dwindling of the economy started  since the current government took over the reins of government three years ago.

While lending his support to the restructuring of the country, he said that any section of Nigeria must not feel marginalised, if the country must experience rapid development.
