IN light of recent 30-day
assessment of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, former Head of
State, General Yakubu Gowon has warned Nigerians against rushing the current
leadership.
Speaking exclusively with
the Nigerian Tribune, in Ibadan, on Sunday, Gowon noted that the media
being awash with many questioning Buhari on his first 30 days was unnecessary.
He based his warning on the
fact that rushing the leadership could result in haphazard and wrong actions
being carried out by the incumbent leadership whereby Nigerians would be the
losers.
According to Gowon, solving
the problems bedeviling the country required some time. He, therefore, beckoned
on Nigerians to give the leadership time to deal with some of the problems in a
rational manner.
However, he noted the duty
of Nigerians to be responsible and make government accountable but held that it
should be gradual.
“Give him a chance. You
cannot solve any problem within two or three days. People say they want a
change but as far as the problem of Nigeria is concerned, you cannot do it in
one day, in one month. It will take time before a lot of these changes would be
done and done effectively.”
“Let us give Buhari the
chance to do things in the proper way to be able to get a good result. I have
read it in some papers where people question him that in 30 days nothing has
been done. It is unnecessary.”
“They criticised me when I
was Head of State that the civil war was taking too long. I said, Yes, do they
know some of the problems that are involved in dealing with some of those
problems?”
