Oche Job, Methodist archbishop of
Abuja, says he admires President Muhammadu Buhari because he fears no one.
The archbishop, who spoke with
reporters in Abuja on Sunday, said Buhari is decisive and does not fear
criticism.
He said: “For sure, I commend
him. You see, Buhari fears no one and that’s why I like him. He makes up his
mind and says and does what he thinks is the best for the nation.
“People may not praise him now
but by the time he lives the seat, and somebody comes in and they begin to do
comparison, they will say if it were in the time of Buhari, oh my God, this
thing would have been this.”
Speaking on the president’s
assent of the bill which grants financial autonomy to the state legislators and
judicial officers, he said, “First, the autonomy in terms of finances, I think
it is for accountability. So that one is perfect.
“It is the best way because if
somebody is controlling what you have or you live in fear when the money comes
to you, you cannot give proper account of what has been bestowed to you”.
With the signing of the bill into
law, the archbishop said the president has justified Nigerians’ action for
voting him in the 2015 presidential election.
Also, he advised political
leaders to start working immediately they are sworn in because their days are
numbered.
“Begin to count your days. I
would say that any time you have the opportunity to hold an office, put in your
best. Don’t be counting years before you will really show the nation who you
are.
“Show something different and
that will make them to re-elect you. Deliver dividend of democracy and then you
can return to your village,” he said.
