National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that President Muhammadu Buhari should be allowed at least 100 day honey-moon before settling down to effect the change in the socio-political and economic systems of the country.
Tinubu, who was answering questions from newsmen today shortly after he had a meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja wondered why Nigerians are impatient when they knew that the President was sworn in only on May 29.
“It is an international norm all over the world, there is an honeymoon period, at least minimum of 100 days honeymoon. And you won’t allow honeymoon at all? You said change is not coming, change is not by magic: it is driven by the people, the spirit and the character and the planning.
“You see, we have had so much problems in this country in the past because we ran into policy blind-folded, without adequate and effective planning. You don’t have results unless you plan well. The time it takes you to plan, examine, rejig, re-evaluate is more important than the time you just rush into taking action because you are either being sentimental, being emotional and being driven by other forces that are not expected.
“It is not fair to jump into those conclusions. There must be time to plan, to review and even listen to people. There is a separation between a campaign period, articulating your vision, expressing the promises to Nigerians; there is a time to look at holistically what you inherited, analysis it, di-still and then take action. Even in 100 meters race, there is a time to say on your mark, set, ready, go. So you don’t even want a time to be on your mark, set and go? No no no. You are not bring fair.” [myad]
