Stop Attacking Buhari Over Appointments, Let Him Do His Job – PDP Chieftain

A former governor of old Bendel
State and a member of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Board of
Trustees, Dr Samuel Ogbemudia, has
replied those attacking President
Muhammadu Buhari over his recent
appointments.
The elder statesman explained that
the president needed time to settle
for the best people who can work for
the country.
He added that Nigerians would not
forgive him if he failed.
He also described as unnecessary,
attempts by some Nigerians to assess
the administration in just 100 days
in office.
He said, “When they knew that the
man said he met everything in bad
shape and in such situation you need
to clean up the system so as to start
on a good note.”
The PDP chieftain made this remark
when he met members of the
committee he set up to oversee the
yearly Award of the Best Journalist
in Edo State, led by a former General
Manager of the Edo State
Broadcasting Service (EBS), Pastor
(Mrs) Sidi Lawal-Igioh.
“Nigerians asked him (Buhari) to
appoint people, who can work with
him and he can only appoint people
he knows. If he fails by appointing a
United Nation they will say it was his
fault, they ought to have known. But
he is now picking people he has
tremendous trust in their ability.
“So, those criticizing him should let
him do his work. If at the end of four
years he did not perform, then
Nigerians have another opportunity
to either say carry on or stop.
“All these criticisms, I do not buy
them. And the people who are
criticising him probably they have
never held any government position,
they don’t know what is happening
there, that all that glitters is not
gold.”
Commenting on 100 days in office,
Dr Ogbemudia said “first and
foremost, Buhari was elected for four
years and in the programme of
events which led to the elections, at
no time was hundred days
mentioned.
“That they are being done in the past
was perhaps a persuasive authority
but that does not mean that
everybody should keep to it. A
programme well thought out to bring
Nigeria back to the line of
development, the line of security and
so on, planning alone takes more
than a hundred days.
“So, I expect that when eventually he
finished the home work he will come
out with something big. When he
was elected, Nigerians have very
high expectation of his performance
and in order not to disappoint
Nigerians, he wants to take time to
plan his programme so that when
eventually he pushes it out they will
welcome it.
“So, they can excuse him because the
Buhari they knew earlier on is no
longer the same Buhari because this
is a democracy. He has the National
Assembly and the judicial arm now.
His powers then is being shared with
these two arms now.
“He cannot join the bandwagon, as a
matter of fact that is why he wants to
change the evil ways things are done
before so that Nigeria will be better”
he stated.
