The Minority Leader of the Senate, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe (Abia South) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to stop giving excuses in the face of obvious failures by his administration.
Senator Abaribe in a statement in reaction to Buhari’s broadcast on New Year Day urged the President to stop referring to the past as reasons for his non-performance.
Abaribe said: “The legislature, particularly the minority caucus is ready to cooperate with the presidency in any sincere and genuine effort to tackle insecurity in our country and keep our people safe.
“Nonetheless, President Muhammadu Buhari must as a fact face governance and stop making excuses at every turn, especially his penchant at making references to 2015 as reasons why he fails to perform.
“It does not end at making broadcast, but in exhibiting genuine seriousness in governance for all Nigerians.
“The President is elected to provide governance, by so doing he must be ready to proffer solutions, right wrongs where it exists and solve problems besetting the country in every facet and not always relapse to advancing excuses to explain away palpable failures.
“As for us in the minority caucus, we are willing as always to cooperate with the presidency in any sincere and genuine effort to provide good governance to Nigerians.”
