A former governor of old Bendel State and a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees, Dr Samuel Ogbemudia, has urged Nigerians to stop\u00a0 attacking President Muhammadu Buhari over his recent appointments.<\/p>\n
The elder statesman explained that the president needed time to settle for the best people who can work for the country.<\/p>\n
He added that Nigerians would not forgive him if he failed.<\/p>\n
He also described as unnecessary, attempts by some Nigerians to assess the administration in just 100 days in office.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cWhen they knew that the man said he met everything in bad shape and in such situation you need to clean up the system so as to start on a good note.\u201d<\/p>\n
The PDP chieftain made this remark when he met members of the committee he set up to oversee the yearly Award of the Best Journalist in Edo State, led by a former General Manager of the Edo State Broadcasting Service (EBS), Pastor (Mrs) Sidi Lawal-Igioh.<\/p>\n
\u201cNigerians asked him (Buhari) to appoint people, who can work with him and he can only appoint people he knows. If he fails by appointing a United Nation they will say it was his fault, they ought to have known. But he is now picking people he has tremendous trust in their ability.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, those criticizing him should let him do his work. If at the end of four years he did not perform, then Nigerians have another opportunity to either say carry on or stop.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll these criticisms, I do not buy them. And the people who are criticising him probably they have never held any government position, they don\u2019t know what is happening there, that all that glitters is not gold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commenting on 100 days in office, Dr Ogbemudia said \u201cfirst and foremost, Buhari was elected for four years and in the programme of events which led to the elections, at no time was hundred days mentioned<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
