Buhari has 4-yr mandate, be patient, there is hope -APC begs Nigerians
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government was yet to fail the country even though things are very difficult in the land.
This was stated by the new spokesperson of the ruling party, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, during an interaction with newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
Acknowledging that there is so much hardship in the country under APC leadership, he called on Nigerians to continue to persevere, promising that President Buhari’s untiring efforts to get things fixed for the good of Nigerians will soon be actualised.
“It will be unfair to say the APC government has failed on the economic front, when we have a four-year tenure. If you plant a mango tree that has four years gestation period, the fact that it is just germinating does not mean your crop has failed.

“There is so much hardship in the country at the moment and we are the first to acknowledge that. But what gives us courage and comfort is that the Federal Government of Nigeria, under the leadership of President Buhari, is working round the clock to solve this problem and bring succour to Nigerians. That is why the 2017 budget has been tagged ‘Budget of Recovery.’
“This is probably the necessary thing to do to make the kind of adjustment that we need to make as a country. We recognise that things are very difficult, but we believe that by the grace of God, if we all persevere, we will have the kind of country that we all desire,” Abdulahi said.

Buhari is a magician, he might perform miracles within the rest years he has.
so let us keep cool and watch keenly. a dollar can still be equal to #1, we can still buy a bag of rice for #5000 , so let us believe in miracle.

I know you are making caricature of APC government. APC has failed us, we regretted voting BUhari, but no problem, 2019 will change government again.

Abdullahi is the new liar who replaced Lai Mohammed so I expect him to always say things to defend his party. I think this is the first official statement to Nigerians as the new APC spokesman. but we are not fools. we are waiting for Buhari in 2019.

All the details in his statement are deceitful, he’s only trying to make Nigerians feel comfortable and make people have believe in the party.

With what we’ve seen so far, we can confidently tell what the 4-year would be like when it elapses. Spare us the gibberish!

It will also be unfair to give up on Buhari’s tenure when he’s yet to spend half of his term in Government. Let us wait till Buhari spoils Nigeria completely before we start voicing our displeasures

You’re just a moron who derives pleasure in saying nonsense. We should wait for Buhari to spoil Nigeria before we complain? This is the silliest talk I’ve heard this year.

Foolishness does not only start when someone misbehave but when someone say things that is not right. So you are among those who don’t know what to say
