The woman leader said that some Nigerians who had been criticising the present administration had failed to consider the positive implications of President Buhari’s re-election.

She said: “Believe it or not, there was the challenge of moral decadence before this administration came on board .

“We were already running into crises, for instance, the former finance minister, Okonjo Iweala, once said that she had advised the government to save for the rainy day and the advice was not effectively harnessed.

“Even the former Central Bank of Nigeria governor (CBN), Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, once talked greatly about the 20 billion dollars that was not being remitted to the federation account.

“ Same goes for Professor Charles Soludo, also a former CBN governor, who also warned against mismanagement by government.

“All these technocrats were in government and they all expressed sincere views on the rate of moral decadence facing the country.”

Akpabio said that Buhari on assumption of office diligently studied the various crises threatening growth of the country and had been strategically tackling them.

The woman leader added: “All we need to do as lovers of our dear country is to allow the president consolidate on all his achievements.

“It’s saddening that some persons see the president as being slow but I see him as a diligent servant leader.

“A beautifully constructed building with visible cracks cannot be inhabited until such engineering fault is corrected to avoid collapse.

“Buhari in this instance, is fixing our cracked walls, he is moulding leadership in Nigeria, making sure that only the right technocrats occupy sacred positions with an objective of building a reliable nation.''

Akpabio also said that though the most expected 35 %t affirmative action had yet to be achieved by the present administration, an encouraging number of women were presently occupying various positions of trust.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
