Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal
Olubunmi Okogie has appealed to Nigerians to give President Muhammadu Buhari
ample opportunity to
study the situation of things before embarking on his
avowed crusade against corruption and insecurity. He also argued that Boko Harm
would soon become history.
Dismissing accusations that the Buhari administration is
rather slow in implementing its campaign promises, Okogie who served with the
military during the Nigerian Civil War, argued that as a soldier, Nigerians
should expect their current president to strategize.
He said: “A good soldier always strategizes. They take their
time to do things. They don’t just jump into doing things. Don’t forget that he
was a military head of state before. Now he’s putting on another cloak, so he
has to be democratic. He has to study the ground first of all,” Okogie said,
stressing that Nigerians must forget that the former military man had attempted
to be president thrice.
