ABUJA-MEMBERS of the Peoples Democratic Party,PDP Sunday described
President Muhammadu Buhari's one year anniversary as another round of
campaign.
Some of the lawmakers who spoke to Vanguard were unanimous in their
views declaring that the president's speech smacks of electoral campaigns to
further confuse Nigerians.
Stop the blame game-Chairman House C'ttee on Capital Market, Rep
Tajudeen Yusuf, PDP, Kogi said
According to Yusuf, the president's speech hover around blaming every visible
thing on ground instead of telling Nigerians how he would fix the country.
He said "he needs to deliberately make people who are on the other side
politically know that despite their opinion they have a place as critical
stakeholders in project Nigeria .
" The blame game should stop as 60-70% of the people around him were part
of the last 16 years and for him to succeed he must jettison primordial
sentiments and embrace facts that he met on ground".
"He was elected to fix Nigeria not to keep complaining. He should make
nation building the focal point of his administration. Nobody in his right
senses will dare challenge him on such a patriotic venture".
This is a 'go slow govt'-Chairman House C'ttee on Public Petitions, Rep
Uzoma Nkem-Aboonta said.
Abonta who represents Ukwa East/West in Abia in his submission described
the speech as a bag full of complaints and pointed out that "Nigerians are
becoming impatient with this 'go slow administration'.
He explained that "this is a time for proactive measures that are sustainable
not this idea of complaining of virtually everything".
"If he can't get economic experts he should borrow from the Goodluck
Johnathan's economic team and this could help him save Nigeria".
"Somebody close to him should tell him that this is not time for lamentation
rather he should concentrate on how to move this country forward".
Don't place the blame alone on Buhari-Rep Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma,PDP, Edo.
He said "we are all to blame because we did not manage our oil boom period
instead a few Nigerians siphoned our commonwealth into private pockets".
"Though I'm in PDP, I won't place the whole blame on Mr president alone as
we all failed project Nigeria".
"On his speech I will say is another round of complaints without end as the
mantra that catapulted APC to power has not changed anything".
"Nothing has changed, so far what we've seen is trial by error economic
policies of this government".
"My final take is that we should all put our thinking cap on and see how the
Nigerian project can be salvaged".
