Be patient with Buhari, APC over campaign promises – Dogara begs Nigerians
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu
Dogara, has appealed to Nigerians to be more
patient with the All Progressives Congress (APC)
led government over its campaign promises.
This was contained in a statement issued on
Saturday in Abuja by Dogara’s Special Adviser
on Media and Public Affairs, Mr Turaki
Hassan.
Dogara made the appeal at a thanksgiving
Church service of Rep. Austine Chukwukere,
(APC) member representing Ideato North/
Ideato South Federal Constituency of Imo.
The speaker was quoted in the statement as
saying that in recent times some Nigerians
were becoming worried about the pace at
which the present administration is moving.
According to him, there is the need for
Nigerians to be more patient with the
government.
“The APC government is laying a solid
foundation that will last for generations, which
requires time, diligence and patience on the
part of the people.
“I have interacted with leaders on the platform
of the APC at all levels and I have no doubt in
my mind as to their commitment to delivering
the promised change and transform this
country to greatness.
“I will urge Nigerians not to despair, but to be
patient with us.
“Be patient with the APC as we are committed
to the change agenda we promised the
people.
“From the president down to leaders at all
levels, everybody is talking about the people
and not our personal interest.
“You can see the sincerity and the
commitment of our leaders,’’ Dogara said.
Dogara commended Gov. Rochas Okorocha of
Imo for investing in education to move the
state forward.
“If not for education, we can’t be here as
leaders today.
“Some of the investments are not tangible so
people will not see them now, but wealth of
nations has moved from those beneath the
soil to those you have in your head,’’ he said.
While responding, Okorocha was quoted as
saying that the time for politics is over as
governance must take the centre stage.
He commended the Speaker for uniting the
House of Representatives, pointing out that
Nigerians were always worried when they hear
of disagreements and bickering among
lawmakers. (NAN)
