IT’S THE SYSTEM THAT IS SLOW NOT ME - BUHARI
“Buhari blames his failure to the system. Confusing,
so the system forced him to wait 6 months to appoint ministers & to not
appoint ministers who resigned? It made him wait 3 years to constitute
governing boards? Several are still unfilled. The system equally made him not
to prosecute Babachir, etc? The system made him disobey court orders over the
release of Bright Chimezie and many others that courts have granted bail?” Farooq Kperogi, Ph.D
The president said this when he received the
federal capital territory community, who paid him Christmas homage at his
official residence on Tuesday in Abuja.
Buhari, who apparently was reacting to those
accusing his administration of being too slow in tackling the nation’s
challenges, said: “It’s not Baba (Buhari) that is slow but it is the system…
So, I am going by this system and I hope we will make it.”
The president announced that he would soon
embark on aggressive campaign for the 2019 presidential election.
He said the campaign would start with visits
to each of the six geo-political zones of the country.
“We are watching the Independent National
Electoral Commission very seriously and we are going out very soon; we will go
from geo-political zone to geo-political zone, to remind the people of our
promises in 2015,” he said.
“These three fundamental things include
security, because you have to secure the country before you can govern it and
talking about what we have done regarding securing the country, the people of
the north-east know better.
“The three fundamental things we campaigned
with are still very relevant. On improving the economy, which we are still
going to explore, we have done well in agriculture, and those who embraced
farming are not regretting it and we have also addressed unemployment and we
are very lucky, through that we are now attaining food security.
“The third thing with which we will campaign
is the issue of corruption.
“I told you what I did when I was in uniform
but now when I have to go by this system (democracy,) where people have to be
arrested and then prosecuted, taken to court and then with evidence, we will
collect back what they had taken illegally and for doing that, people are
calling me Baba go slow.
“I am going slowly but whatever the case, I
will not stop pointing fingers at those who have abused trust by taking money
that does not belong to them. I will keep on trying to do my best for this
country and get back what belongs to the country.”
The President, who thanked the FCT community
for the visit, urged people in leadership positions to always do the right
things so as not to betray the confidence reposed on them
The problem Nigerians need to solve is to
identify this system that is encoded(ly) personified.
