100 Days: Your govt running in circles,  PDP chieftain slams Buhari

 

100 days into the second term of President Muhammadu Buhari,
spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Kassim Afegbua,
has scored the administration low.
Afegbua who appeared on Channels Television programme, “Sunday
Politics” last night said the Buhari administration keeps running
around in circles and lack movement, adding that he does not see any
hope for the future.
According to him “nothing has happened in the last 100 days” and the
only thing he remembers is that “the President came on board with a
cabinet”.
The PDP spokesperson further criticised the government, saying that
till date, no Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting has been held.
He also took a swipe at the Katsina State government who he accused of
negotiating with bandits.
“Within these 100 days, we are also seeing that some Governors are
negotiating with bandits. The Katsina State Government drove all
through the forest and celebrating that they were strike deals with
bandits.
“For me, the critical issues of security, unemployment, decayed
infrastructure and all of that have to be captured properly if we are
actually going to make headway”.
Also sharing his thoughts on the government’s performance so far,
presidential candidate of the Action Democratic Party (ADP), Sani
Yabagi, who co-featured in the programme, said he is yet to see signs
that would give Nigerians some confidence that the nation is on the
right path.
He said while there have been a lot of programmes and motions, there
is little or no implementation.
“In 100 days, nothing has changed in terms of the security
architecture of this country. People are still being killed,
kidnapped, and bandits are having their free will to do what they
like. The President preparing to go to South Africa is good, but we
have bigger problems at home. I think the 100 days is just about
programmes, motions, no movement yet in terms of what is going to
happen,” he said.
Meanwhile, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, Femi
Adesina, responding on the programme, has asked Nigerians to expect
good things under the administration’s second term.
He said the concept of 100 days in office, ordinarily does not apply
to returning governments and therefore, assured Nigerians that
progress is being made in the key areas of security, economic
development and the anti-graft war.
