Lai Mohammed, national publicity
secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), believes that the performance
of President Muhammadu Buhari(one month in office) in tackling insecurity outweighs that of former
President Goodluck Jonathan throughout his five years in office.
Appealing to Nigerians to exercise
patience with the current administration, Mohammed blamed the delay in
appointing a cabinet on the lack of cooperation of the past administration. He
was speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday.
“It’s been about one month now since
President Buhari assumed office, and I can tell you that there has been motion,
and there has been movement, contrary to what is being peddled in some
quarters. Justifiably, the expectations are high and urgent, and the Buhari
administration has started addressing them, despite the enormous challenges
that it faces, including an empty treasury and an economy that has virtually
collapsed.
“The Buhari administration got the handover notes from the
former government just four days before the inauguration, hampering its efforts
to have a clear understanding of the situation on the ground before taking the
necessary measures to address it. “If any disease is not appropriately
diagnosed, it cannot be effectively treated.
Any government that is truly
desirous of bringing about real change will not act hastily and without the
necessary understanding of what is on ground. coupled with the delay in getting
the much-needed information, that takes time.
