Governor
of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar has warned opposition politicians
in Nigeria to desist from criticizing President Buhari’s foreign trips and
allegation of being too slow in dealing with the major challenges facing the
nation, a statement issued by his Press Secretary, Abubakar al-Sadique reads.
The
Governor who gave this warning in Burra on Sunday, March 13 at the distribution
of empowerment materials presented by the member representing Burra
constituency at the state house of assembly, Honourable Abdullahi Sa’ad
Abdulqadir said it is unfair to accuse the All Progressives Congress
governments at various levels which have only been in office for less than a
year "for not doing enough to clear the inherited rot" made by the
past administrations in 16 years.
He
said for anybody to accuse the All Progressives Congress administrations for
being slow, the APC administrations should be allowed to spend 16 years in
office before such “conclusions can be reached”. Governor Abubakar noted that
the state of insecurity the country found itself under the past administration
has become a thing a past under the president administration, but regretted
that the critics of the administration appeared to have forgotten all that, and
added that score is made “in the anti-corruption crusade launched by the
President”.
The
Governor therefore charged the opposition to scout for better issues of
national interest to engage the APC administrations on and stop criticizing the
foreign trips of the President and the anticorruption campaign launched by his
administration. He explained that since the federal government under President
Muhammadu Buhari assumed office last year, the nation’s economic fortunes have
been dwindling.
He
said with the blockades of leakages and loopholes through which public treasury
was being siphoned as well as foreign trips embarked upon by the president,
adequate resources that will finance more than half of the 2016 budget have
been saved by the President.
The
Governor assured that the President and all APC governors are working
assiduously to turn around the economy and reduced over dependence on oil
revenue.
