President Muhammadu Buhari has said he holds no grudges
against Nigerians who feel his administration hasn’t made enough progress in
the past five years, especially as it relates to insecurity.
The President made this known during his 2021 New Year
message to Nigerians on Friday.
According to him, his administration was making efforts to
see that those issues were properly tackled.
“I am aware that for some of our compatriots, feel that the
progress we have registered since the inception of this administration is not
nearly as fast or as sufficient as they would wish.
“I do not begrudge them or their views so far as they
signify a wish, in which we all share, for only the very best for our country.
“Nevertheless, I call upon all Nigerians to carefully recall
the circumstances of our coming to office, the facts on the ground, and the
resources at our disposal since 2015 with the accomplishments of this
administration.
“I also understand that the spate of violence in the country
is been triggered by chronic poverty, social exclusion, and disillusionment
among sections of the youth.
“We are making efforts to see that these issues are properly
tackled,” he said.
Recall that Buhari was recently accused by the Bishop of
Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Most Reverend Fathy Mathew Hassan Kukah of crass
nepotism which has never been experienced in the history of Nigeria.
Bishop Kukah, in his Christmas message titled, “A Nation in
Search of Vindication” delivered in Sokoto on Friday, noted that President
Buhari had succeeded in sacrificing the dreams of Nigerians on the altar of
nepotism by pursuing Northern hegemony.
