'We underestimated the damage to Nigeria when we offered change' - Sen Bala Ibn Na'allah

Deputy Leader of the Senate, Senator Bala Ibn Na'allah has said his party, APC, underestimated the damage done to Nigeria by the last administration when they offered change during the campaign last year. According to Na'allah, the present hardship being experienced by many Nigerians is as a result of the problems created by the last administration. He said this in a new interview with Daily Trust

 

"I am a Nigerian first before becoming a senator and therefore, if it worries Nigerians, I should equally be worried. But, the thing is that I don’t have the authority to speak on behalf of my party. It is equally true that I don’t have the authority to speak on behalf of the Senate. But, as a citizen and as a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, from the perspective I have seen things, it is obvious that the APC led federal government underestimated the damage that was done to the country when they offered themselves to provide the change Nigerians required. Therefore, it is expected that lots of things would not work so easily; Nigerians would not see certain things in the perspective from which they were. The important thing is that the problems were not created by the APC-led federal government, they were created by Nigerians themselves for failing to act when there was the need to act. Therefore, the cleaning process must definitely be painful. It may not be understood by all, but the important thing is that based on the promise of the party to reposition the country and save it from its past, certain decisions that are painful must be taken. That explains why, of course, there will be hues and cries all over the place. It is expected, I do not see any reason why anybody should expect less than that. Again, I am aware the government is making effort to do whatever is humanly possible to reduce those sufferings. But, again, government has to act within the constitution, law and machinery of governance and the established norms of doing things in government"he said

Am quite sure that even u do not believe what u just said. I believe you Probably spoke just for the simple sake of hearing your own voice.

You are such a huge fool by uttering such trash with that gutter you call mouth.
What was the value of dollar in Naira before APC came into power?
What was the level of inflation before APC came into power?
What and what has the current administration achieved since they came into power?
You should be very much ashamed of yourself for making such a stupid ascertion.
How long will you blame the previous administration?
What were the respective prices of petroleum products before you came into power?
Keep blaming the previous administration while our is already dead.
Before Obama became the president of the states, US economy was on recession, but Obama came into power and focused on reviving the economy and he achieved it in a short while.
Obama did not start by fighting his political enemies,rather he concentrated on building the economy.
APC WHAT IS YOUR AGENDA FOR NIGERIA?
You are nothing but a huge mistake.

Why didn't you leave the governance to people that is aware of the damage and knows how to manage the damage to continue governing.. When u guys were campaigning you didn't tell us of this impending suffering..... God will punish each of u for subjecting Nigerians to this suffering









........ Liber maniac......

Sheer bollocks!!!
You underestimated what? Is that the excuse we brought you guys to give us? You've spent more than a year in office and you're still on the path of blame game. No great nation you see in the world ascend to where they are by apportioning blames on previous administration. Before they come into power, they are fully aware of the herculean task that lies ahead. So they go in with solution not excuses.
I can't believe I actually voted for this administration. Jonathan wasn't better and this one is proving to be worst. Maybe individuals should be allowed to contest alone, not under any party. Mtcheew

Then, let every man go to their CONSTITUENCY, PRESENT IT, EXPLAIN IT FOR THEIR COMPREHENSION.

Why are you sounding like an idiot? You don't owe any body any apologies or explanation. Move your bloomy ass and get to work. Let your result speak for you. In the end no matter how good or how bad it all turns out, you will always have people for and against you !

Those FOOLS continue to blame past Administration for their FAILURES, all of them has been in the Government since they were youth till date, only ganged up against GEJ with Religious sentiment, ETHNIC and some Hungry Sycophants who is now realizing their mistakes, some are coming out to apologize some are hiding their faces in shame while the Political thieves are busy still trying to convince Nigerians that WHITE has turn to BLACK over night, through their LIES and propaganda which APC's foundation is laid on by constantly blaming the past administration, Nigeria is drinking APC

The hope Nigerians vested on the APC when it won the election was huge. Everyone expected them to hit the ground running immediately they are sworn in. Guess what it took them months to form a goverment. When people thought they will come up with the best brains in Nigeria to pilot the affairs, they came up with the worst brains Nigeria have ever known in leadership.

Anyone who says Nigeria dont have good qualified men and women to take her to greater heights is totally wrong because men and women of good quality and repute abound all over the country. Nepotism is the bain of this administration. I wished Buhari well when he won the election because i thought he will get it right this time around after trying many times to rule this country again. People he choose to be around him arent giving him good service.

Obama took over power when American economy was loosing 800,000 jobs a month. Today American economy has gained 12 million jobs. America was importing 20 million barels of oil a day when obama took over power, Today America is net exporter. He didnt go about blaming his predecessor. Its a question of doing the right thing. Do away with friends politics. Discard favouritsm. Right your name in gold, go for the good price. Look into the eyes of the people you govern even when some of them don't have the courage to talk, their hope are on you. Feel their pains. That is leadership!

Again another nigerian businessman misses the point. Nigeria's economy, culture and politics is faulty, it has been like that since the 1981. It was never repaired. What the last administration did was propanganda, pay people a lot more than they deceive and they will sing your tunes to hell. I am saying this because I remember when they come supo with one of the fastest growing economies in the world when more than half of the literate literature on nigerian economy said it was struturally unsound, it was then (since 1981) and it now. More than that the population is growing too fast.

Must you blame the past administration for everything? Can't you guys sit-up and find a way out. To start with how many bills have you sponsored since you came to the senate or is it that you just want to be heard.
