Former president,Olusegun Obasanjo has taken a swipe at president Jonathan,saying the country has been mismanaged in the last eight years.He also says Buhari would change things but needs patience because what ha sbeen destroyed in eight years can't be built in a day.The former PDP leader said this when the Iyalode of Yoruba land, Chief Alaba Lawson,
led a delegation of South-West women leaders on a visit to his Hilltop
residence in Abeokuta.
“The country had been poorly managed in
the last eight years and it would take some time for Buhari’s government
to correct the anomalies. But I want to tell him not to be frightened.”
“What I would say is that we should all
put our minds at rest. He (Buhari) is someone that will perform but we
must exercise patience because what has been destroyed for eight years
cannot be undone overnight.
“But like the Chinese proverb which says
the journey of a thousand miles starts with a step, it is not only the
first step (that matters) but the first step in the right direction
because if you take a wrong step, you’re not likely to get to the
destination,” he said.
“When I came in 1999, there was no fuel
and power. The situation was like this and I thought we have put that
one behind us.The man that is coming on board has a
lot of experience in terms of governance. He is not a novice in
governance having ruled the country as a military Head of State from
1983 to 1985.
“Nigerians need to exercise patience
because what has been destroyed in eight years cannot be rebuilt in a
day,” Obasanjo maintained.
“Let’s give him time. Let’s pray for him
and let’s cooperate with him. We are all concerned about the present
situation of Nigeria. The expectation is very high but at the same time,
there is a lot of goodwill internally and externally for the incoming
government.Once the incoming administration
realises this and takes every step, particularly in the first three
months when people will be watching and counting, I think for me, we
will get there,” God has provided a new opportunity for Nigeria and Nigerians and I
believe God does not make mistakes. There are two things I believe the
incoming President appreciates; one is that he knows that the
expectations of Nigerians are high and two, that he should not be
frightened by the situation on the ground."
Oh, no longer past 16 years? Deceivers-in-chief. I pity the madding crowd. Everyone castigates another. Only past head of states have experience to lead Nigeria abi?!

DeleteNow looks who's talking.. This baboon that couldn't defend an interview on corruption rather got angry at the interviewer, Ask Oby Ezekwesili she sure knows how corrupt you are.. And to think that Nigerians have embraced the reality that you are just a sycophant.. GEJ will remain an angel where you are in terms of corruption.. Buhari will perform wonders??? Well,by the time he gets on that seat, he will realise the tides have changed and will eat his words, rather he will give praises to GEJ.. GEJ remains the best president to have ever rules this country, but am sorry it will be too late before the masses will realise.. By the way, Same girl, I always knew you will make me proud.. Read your piece yesterday.. #GEJMYHERO..!!!!
