Governor
Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State has replied those doubting the current
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the president is already
delivering on his electoral promises and the APC Change agenda.
Speaking
at the national executive committee meeting of the Nigerian Bar Association,
Mr. Oshiomhole said, “I know that right now, everybody is talking in the
country. Is this the change we asked for? And my answer is Yes. It is the
change we asked for. For all of us in this hall, you know that the challenge of
fixing a house that has been destroyed is much more cumbersome than even
building a completely new house because for the one that has been destroyed,
you have to start by removing the debris.
You
have to check whether the foundations are weak so that you remove them. You
must first do a lot of cleansing and excavation. Continue...
“That
is what President Muhammadu Buhari is doing. And people expect that in 12
months you would have fixed what was destroyed in 16 years. It is simply not
possible and in any case, you must also recognize that even the pressure on the
naira is the result of the so much dollars that was taken out and it will
require a lot of efforts at a time of collapsed prices and the challenge of oil
export to fix what was completely mismanaged.
“So,
I ask us as elite, we have a duty to explain to the Nigerian people: Changes
will come, but they won’t come by trying to remove a house with smoke under.
You must extinguish the fire and make sure the foundations are strong, and
start the process of rebuilding gradually.
“Is
this the Change we asked for? Yes. It’s the Change we asked for. There is no
way miracles can occur in the life of a nation. The challenge of re-fixing the
house that has been destroyed is much more cumbersome,” Oshiomole said.
