Buhari administration is taking its time
to outline its action plans for Nigeria
because of the depth of the mess that its
predecessor left behind, a spokesman said on
Sunday.
Femi Adesina
The government was reacting to a “30 days
appraisal” of the Buhari administration by the
National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Olisa Metuh.
Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina described
the Buhari administration as being contemplative
because there was absolutely no rhyme or
reason to the way PDP ran the country,
particularly in the immediate past dispensation.
“He wants Nigerians to join hands in prayers for
the government, so that things would begin to
move,” he said of the Metuh statement. “What
he does not know is that Nigerians had long
formed such coalition. They are hands in hands,
and that was what gave victory to President
Buhari in the March 28, 2015 poll.”
Adesina stated that Metuh and his masters can
only rue the opportunities they missed to make a
salutary impact on the lives of Nigerians, adding
that they have a long road of regrets to travel.
He noted that Nigerians teamed up to uproot an
administration which had brought the country to
her knees, and was about to tip her off the
precipice. Nigerians, he declared, have resolved
that never would they allow any government to
divide them along regional, religious and ethnic
fault lines again.
“The Buhari administration is naturally
contemplative because there was absolutely no
rhyme or reason to the way PDP ran the country,
particularly in the immediate past dispensation.
That is why the Augean Stable is being cleaned
now, and it requires scrupulous and painstaking
planning. Across all sectors, our national life was
devalued, and it takes meticulousness and sure-
footedness to repair all the breaches. This, the
Buhari administration will deliver.”
Adesina dismissed Metuh’s statement that
President Buhari is conniving with bureaucrats
to siphon money from the treasury, stating that
it was the immediate past administration of the
PDP that had made that practice a pastime, and
that the enormity of that sleaze will be evident
when billions of dollars of funds it stole is
recovered and returned to the national treasury
soon.
“In the process of time, after all that is being
planned by the current administration has
matured, and bearing fruits, Nigerians will be
able to determine who is serving them
acceptably, and who has taken them for a ride,”
he said. “It is just a matter of time.
