APC lists Buhari’s achievements so far

… says, ‘we’ll meet all challenges’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that con- trary to the belief in some quarters that the government of President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to hit the ground running one month after inaugura- tion, the administration has so far performed cred- itably in “tackling insecuri-ty, corruption and restoring Nigeria’s respect.”

Speaking with journal- ists in Lagos Tuesday, Lai Mohammed, national pub- licity secretary of the party, said: “It’s been about one month now since President Buhari assumed office, and I can tell you that there has been motion, and there has been movement.”

Mohammed, who noted that the expectations of Nigerians for an urgent change was not lost on the party, said: “Justifiably, the expectations are high and urgent, and the Buhari ad- ministration has started ad- dressing them, despite the enormous challenges that it faces, including an empty treasury and an economy that has virtually collapsed.

“While Nigerians are right to demand quick and sustained action in ad- dressing these challenges – and honestly, we make no excuses – it is impor-tant for us to put things in perspective for a better understanding.”

According to him, “the Buhari administration got the handover notes from the former government just four days before the inauguration, hamper- ing its efforts to have a clear understanding of the situation on ground before taking the necessary mea- sures to address it. If any disease is not appropriately diagnosed, it cannot be ef- fectively treated.”
