The National Chairman of the All
Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on Thursday said Nigeria was a
laughing stock before Buhari’s administration came on board in 2015.
Oyegun speaking on ‘Change’
promised by APC’, urged Nigerians to be patient.
The APC national chairman
speaking at a reception where he was conferred with the Distinguished Political
Leadership Award by the Benin National Congress in Benin, Edo State said Change
was a resolve not to return to bad old days.
Odigie-Oyegun said, “Change is
not bridges. Change is not electricity. Change is not roads. Change is my
perception as to what is right and what is wrong, what needs to be done and
being faithful in getting it done.
“For as long as we, Nigerians,
have the wrong type of morality, the wrong type of ethics, not all the roads in
this world will get us out of the economic morass we have plunged ourselves
into.
“Change takes time and
consistency of application and the resolve not to go back to the bad old days.”
Oyegun reiterated that the Buhari
administration took over a “totally collapsed economy”, assuring Nigerians that
the President was doing his best to restore Nigeria’s economy.
“We took over a totally collapsed
country. The hope is that things have started to solidify. Things have started
to concretise; the economy has started to grow.
“It is not a switch; it is
something that will take time. But once we are there, this nation will never
experience the type of recession we had in the past.
“Until Buhari, we were a laughing
stock. Today, we are gaining respectability. So, it is important that we do not
lose that momentum,” Odigie-Oyegun added.
