Former Head Of the Nigerian Civil Service under the government of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ahmed Yayale has confessed that the country had for long being governed under false pretenses.
Yayale, who spoke when he led his National Network for Community and Youth Development on a visit to Present Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said: “for so long this country has been govern under false pretenses.
“In our quest to make sure that Nigeria wakes up, we come and submit ourselves that we will rather persevere with temporary pains of following the path of truth rather than enjoying the comfort of deceit and falsehood in perpetuity.
“This is why at this point in time, we freely submit ourselves to the wonderful strides that you represent in this country: integrity and commitment to improve the quality of lives of Nigerians.
“This we did without being apologetic to anybody because we in Nigeria, if we did not come together to face the reality of adjusting the false life, and I can tell you I have been in government for quite sometimes but really, what we use to do must give way to the reality of our situation.
“In doing that we are bound to suffer, but the suffering for bringing integrity in this country is better, that is why the intellectuals here from the universities on their own, cooperating with the honorable members and partnering with our Christians brothers and sisters all over the country, we are determined to see that this country is changed for the better.
“The internalization of good things of life do not come with ease. That is why I said, this, country having gone through this rough path, we are a country in a hurry, people forget the past easily because sometimes they may not have known the past.
“Anybody who does not know the past will enjoy and dance for today, thereby, perpetually giving up his future. But we will not allow this to go on because we are Nigerians we must come together and do the correct thing. Even if it is one, two or three things that we continually do correct, we will definitely entrench a change in the system.
“We give you the necessary support because we know that you are a man of integrity, we know that you have insisted on doing things right in governance.”
Yayale assured the Present fifty percent of the members of the group are committed to seeing that the right thing is done and that Buhari returns to lower for second term in the 2019 election.
