Muhammadu Buhari, the president-elect, has re-stated his commitment to ensuring positive change in the country; however, he urged Nigerians not to expect immediate results from the newly elected administration after it takes office on May 29, The Nation reports.
The All Progressives Congress politician made the claim on April 15, Wednesday, in his hometown Daura, Katsina state, when visited by some senators and representatives.
“People should not expect change immediately because of accumulation of problems in the country. There is need for more time and prayer from the public for the incoming administration to handle matters and bring change.
“I am affirming my commitment to fighting economic sabotage, insecurity, bribery and corruption.”
Alhaji Muhammadu Badaru Abubakar, the Jigawa state governor-elect, who was also among Buhari’s guests, vowed to support the incoming All Progressives Congress government’s policies to bring positive change.
Tam David-West, Nigeria’s former petroleum minister, yesterday expressed a similar point of view regarding the beginning of Buhari’s tenure, as he said:
“This thing they call 100 days in office is nonsense. If a family packs into a new house, they cannot settle within three months. But a good leader will make impact within six months to one year. I have faith in Buhari and I believe he is going to bring a lot of improvement to Nigeria.”
