Speaking at a Breakfast Meeting organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Victory Chapel, Province 21, Magodo, Lagos State, Utomi said, the president was not getting the best because of his idea of “exclusion rather than inclusion” ; SUN NEWS reports.
''The problem with Buhari’s administration is his medieval mindset. He excludes rather than includes. So, he does not get the best idea. He is insular. I don’t push him in this conversation but I am sure that if I put my friend, the vice president under pressure, he will admit what I am saying. Because of their medieval mindset, they have created a country that is more divided than they met it. And that is a problem for leadership that is marching towards progress.”
When asked how long Nigerians might wait for the change they voted for, he said: “Everything is based on context. Take a look at the mismanagement of this fuel thing; the whole idea is nonsensical.
“It doesn’t have to go on like this; you are punishing Nigerian people unnecessarily. The sufferings that Nigerians have endured in the last couple of weeks over this petrol crisis have reduced productivity. If you throw it open to people across the world to bring petrol to Nigeria and sell at any price, you will discover that within a year, the price of petrol will be lower than the government’s fixed price today.
“You (Buhari) set up a committee called transition committee. It suggested that you deregulate the whole thing about crude oil, but no, you won’t. Your ideas go back 30 years and they are irrelevant to this world. Open up your mind and listen to people and you can make progress. To lead is to serve.
“To lead, you must be knowledgeable. People don’t follow somebody who doesn’t know where he is going. Otherwise, you fall into a ditch.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteMy Friend, let's try to be objective in our judgement and assessment of situations...Can you please come up with wrong idea from Utomi's point of view? Or maybe you enjoy the"death today,enjoyment tomorrow" system and idea being employed by the current administration.Well,as events are unfolding ...
ReplyDeleteYou are just knowing PMB? All non Moslems infidels would be disappointed but PMB would succeed in terrorism fight and anti corruption war against oppositions.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. So, finally it's out. All non-Muslims will oppose Buhari ko? Finally someone has voiced it out. Let's look at the post in another way. All Muslims will support Buhari no matter what he does.
DeleteEhi -means cow in my language, are you not feeling what Pat Utomi is saying or are you just coming from mars?
ReplyDeletePat Utomi, I am told you are a professor in academics. Tell us what your contribution has been in the area of education. People like you should pay visit to mr. President and push your ideas of better Nigeria to him and not making public disturbances in the name of criticism that will never solve any problems. What we require now is solution and not paper english. In my country Nigeria, we are only good at proffering solution in public speeches. This is wrong.
