Don't rush Buhari to hasty action, Gowon pleads with Nigerians

Following the recent 30-day assessment of the new government led by President Buhari, and Buhari being referred to Baba Go-slow, former Nigerian Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon has pleaded with Nigerians not to rush the new president.

Speaking exclusively with the Nigerian Tribune, in Ibadan, Gowon said;
"Give him a chance. You cannot solve any problem within two or three days. People say they want a change but as far as the problem of Nigeria is concerned, you cannot do it in one day, in one month. It will take time before a lot of these changes would be done and done effectively.”
“Let us give Buhari the chance to do things in the proper way to be able to get a good result. I have read it in some papers where people question him that in 30 days nothing has been done. It is unnecessary.”
“They criticised me when I was Head of State that the civil war was taking too long. I said, Yes, do they know some of the problems that are involved in dealing with some of those problems?”

Thank you so much, you're an elder statesman.
Even the children who stayed over a year at home due to the ASUU and ASUP strikes are insulting him.
Slow and steady wins the race and at the end he will put all his critics to shame.
God bless you my president.

Buhari has his own agenda,he has ordered the removal of road blocks so as to enable easy penetration of boko haram to other states.But tell him that Almighty God will frustrate his evil agenda.

Anonymous said...

The question is and remains, did u Gowon show this understanding and sentiment when a non-Hausa man, GEJ was there?

It is annoying when you people understand for yourselves but not for another. these were the same CHALLENGES THAT GEJ faced, but northerners and the south west used it as a campaign tool. Now you want Nigerians not to hurry up baba go slow.

Please spare us these talks. People are dying, and all Buhari is doing is hiring and firing. No concrete steps taken to end or even ameliorate the killings.

I dnt blame you, it's not Ur families that are being killed. How wicked is this? Was he expecting to take a lunch break for 3 months before he starts working? For God sake the man assumed office when the country is in the middle of battling a terror group, doesn't he know he is supposed to sit up from day 1.

AND THE IDIOTIC PRESIDENT WE HAVE REMAIN UNCONCERN ABOUT THE SITUATION.

Unknown said...

Succinctly stated sir! But the enthusiasm that has enveloped the country stems from the hope and change that the APC preached. We do hope we will take this opportunity now that we have it as the president stated in his inaugural address.

But I can remember Buhari and Tinubu
and APC and co rushing us to vote for them with a lot of propaganda and lies to we Nigerian

Mr Gowon,if you have implemented the outcome of aburi meeting,Nigeria would have been the richest and beautiful country to stay,each region would have been well developed with whatever God, used to bless them, practicing their culture and religion,but due to your selfishness,this country are still struggling today,confused and biased government and citizens.Each and every one of you must reap the evil seed you sow.

I'M NOT SURPRISED THAT MANY OF THESE PEOPLE SAYING BUHARI IS SLOW DO NOT THE DEEP SHIT GEJ'S GOVT SUNK NIGERIAN. WE DON'T REALIZE THAT NIGERIA WAS ON THE EDGE OF FALLING OVER, BUHARI HAS COME TO WEDGE IT FROM FALLING OF THE CLIFF. THE HANDOVER NOTES ARE FULL OF MISLEADING FACTS AND ONLY A FOOLISH MAN WILL RUSH INTO BATTLE WITHOUT ASCERTAINING THE STRENGTH OF THE OPPONENT HE HAS TO FACE. IF GEJ WAS STILL THERE, MAY BE WE WAKE UP AND FOUND OUT THAT WE HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR DEFAULTING IN PAYING OUR DEBTORS - SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GREECE. LET US PRAY AGAINST THE FORCES AGAINST NIGERIA AND SUPPORT BUHARI WITH OUR PRAYERS.

I just observed that lots of the folks making these negative comments on LIB are igbos. Many igbos feel pained by the loss of jonathan but you can not be more aggrieved than the bereaved.Jona , messed himself up, allowing major players to leave his party and didn't care when he should have.He allowed his wife and other women run the countrys affair for him which was visible to many in corridors of power. Even though I voted for him , I don't have pity for him anymore. He let himself down and we igbos can't allow it to become our problem. We must move on and avoid getting stuck in the past.

Unknown said...

U should not compare jona to buhari...how many year did jona stay in power...this man just came not up to a year..he needs time...if u think u should rush him then u sick in the head

Nigerians are just too hasty in everything, wonder how they claim to know God when the fruit of his spirit is patience...it's their lack of patience that makes them do all manner of evil to make money...smh God needs to teach u people patience by force...let the man analyse before making decisions, even David the king would hv had to wait for God to direct first...common humans!!

U all are no different from those of the bible days who make hasty decisions becos God has not responded and then find yourselves in years of bondage!!!!

The only wise one Bonario....they need to learn from the children of Isreal how they found themselves many times in bondage due to hasty and disobedient decisions

Where was this foolish man during GEJ regime? We never heard him plead Nigerians to be patient with GEJ's administration, alakori! Let them continue pretending to be nice when we all known their strategy. Thunder will surely fire all of them one after the other
