It is too early to judge Buhari’s performance- Bakare:

General Overseer Latter Rain Assembly, Tunde Bakare on Friday said it was too soon to judge the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari as change takes time.

Bakare who was Buhari’s running mate during the 2011 Presidential Election under the platform of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), spoke to reporters at the Presidential Villa, after meeting with the President for about an hour.

“It is too early and to soon to begin to judge. If there is anything I know about Mr. President, it is that he has a good heart. He loves this country and he wants the country to run well. But it takes time. I know we are all impatient and in a hurry and I trust we will come out of the woods”

“I will like to appeal to all Nigerians that we should just exercise a bit of patience. This change will not become a chain that will tie all of us down. Change for good takes time and we should just exercise a little bit more of patience. We trust that government is listening and the leaders are listening too and they will respond to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians,” the cleric said when asked to rate the performance of the All Progressive Congress (APC) led government.

On the delay in delivering the change promised Nigerians, Bakare said, “When you are driving on a wrong direction, for example, you are going to Ibadan and you face Badagry and you get to Cotonu and you realize you have gone in the wrong direction for too long a time, then you make a U-turn, there will be some suffering you have to go through.

Pain is part of gain. No pain no gain. The years of wastage and all that we have done wrong has finally caught up with us. All we are praying for is wisdom for this government to do things right and to do the right things so that gradually, we can begin to come out of the woods”.

Asked if he supported the call to overhaul the President’s cabinet, he said, “That’s your opinion, not mine. And it is Mr. President’s. He can do what he likes when he likes it. He knows what he has given them. For example, I have not given any appointment to anyone so I can’t judge their performance. But if there are yardsticks and standards given to them and if they have performed below par, definitely, the president would not mind at the right time to do those things”.

The President also met with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, shortly before his meeting with Bakare.

The Speaker was accompanied to the Villa by some lawmakers from the National Assembly including Senator Suleiman Nazif (Bauchi). Dogara who refused to answer questions posed by reporters maintained that he had only come to meet with the President.

It's also too early for this suffering.

It must be early Mr Bakare. If it was PDP, you will not wait for 3 months before you shout pull him down for incompetence. Most times the comment of people like you are crowded by partisanship. This is rather unfortunate, MOG.

After 2years this afonja fake pastor is saying its to early to judge buhari,I hope buhari is not planning to bubu Nigerians in 2019 with give me a second term and I will implement the good plans I had. It won't work o o

greatgod2012:
Hypocrite pastor!

I know that if it's not his pal/buddy that is there, he would have started shouting up and down, calling him different unprintable names, organizing and sponsoring yeye protests against the government all around, preaching against the government in his church every Sunday, turning the altar to protesting stage, etc.


For this man to be a pastor, then, God is so patient and merciful.

Where I live, since the crude crash began and despite that the country uses its earnings more judiciously than Nigeria, fuel pump price has been increased on three occasions.

House rent has gone up.

Prices of consumer goods have shot up by more than 30%

Thousands of jobs have been lost as a result of same drop in crude earning (it's by God's Grace many of us are still employed).

Despite all these, residents understand that all the developments are a result of drastic drop in the country's income.

Don't I have people I send money to on monthly basis? Or do you think if I was sending N100k before now, it will still be that same N100k in these hard times?

We need to be pragmatic and show understanding.

DropShot:

You're empty. All the increases you refer to are a result of govt not subsidizing those products any longer. Go get quality education.

DropShot:
Only pragmatic and analytical minds will agree with you pastor.

Let's do a simple and quick analogy:

1. I earned N100k monthly for five years. After spending on family needs and other things, I should have N20k left for savings.

2. The N20k I should keep on monthly basis in those five years, I didn't keep it but was using it on frivolities.

3. Suddenly my salary got reduced to N40k for some reason.

Will I still be able to provide for all the needs of my family as I used to when salary was N100k? Common sense should tell me and those around me that I will struggle BIG TIME while looking for alternative ways out.

Even if a wife expects her husband to still meet such needs after knowing the facts above, people around her will condemn and criticize her for not showing understanding as well as lacking perseverance.

Nigerians need to give the government reasonable time and put things in perspective of the times we are.

Only quote me if you have evidence-backed argument to offer. Not the usual inanities.

Whynotthetruth:


I laughed so hard reading through how you bamboozled the ajebuter girl with fairytales of lies and half-truths ...

1)Can you state with facts the economic development indices as at when PDP handed over to buhari?

2)Can you drop here facts on what buhari is doing to get the economy right especially taking a look on fiscal policy measures and monetary policies as it affected SMEs and middle income earners?

3)What subsidy is paid when landing cost of PMS and crude price is low? So how come PMS is on the high? Or is the economic philosophy of Fashola pre-election ineffective now?

4) To what extent and how has buhari ensured diversification of economy and survival of SMEs which are key stimulants cum drivers for the economy?

5) What's the economic ingenuity behehacking the idea of sourcing for oil in North when economy is in recession and natives are exchanging kids for food?

6) What's the performance of the year's budget especially for capital projects and even 2015 bearing in mind that buhari ruled for greater percentage of the uear ?

7) What's our foreign reserve now and ECA bearing in mind the oil benchmark in 2016 budget? Is buhari saving?

Kindly break down and answer to this thread attached on this one...I need to learn bro https://www.nairaland.com/3299148/economy-pdp-dropped-facts-figures

9)So how come Bakare advocated for Jonathan's removal from office during 2012 subsidy removal protest because he felt the policy was anti people and would cause more poverty? Can you compare poverty rate then and now? how many years was Jonathan in office then before he rated hjs performance

10)How come the middle-class grew exponentially under Jonathan and is melting faster than ice on a sunny day under Buhari irrespective of crude oil price also being average within a reasonable part of former administration?

11) How's security situation in nigeria today; a key factor for FDI?

12) What's the economic ingenuity and implication behind running a cabinet without "noisemakers" for 6months? Compare the Economic situation in America when Obama took over vis a vis his actions on swearing in as to buhari action on swearing in till now? Btw Obama had his economic team before swearing in ceremony sef

13) What's the idea supporting appointment of over 6 propagandists(media assistants) by Buhari with no economic adviser for more than a year...before he now reluctantly picked one now?

Hypocrisy kills a nation...and it's people!!!

See the wailing zombies up there crying!

On few occasions that Bakare criticized the current govt, they masturbated over the news here.

And now that the pastor is putting things in perspective, they're crying blood.

Abagworo:


They shall wail for 16 years.

ajebuter:



Good and fair enough analogy..

But do you live in the country?

Do you know know the current prices of essential foodstuff in the country? rice, beans, garri, bread, palm oil, groundnut oil, semovita, refiling of gas, kerosene, coal, beverages, just to mention but a very few?

Do you honestly think or believe if you live in the country and earn your salary in naira you would still stick to your gun and believe all is well?

It was extremely disastrous under the last regime but dude, Nigerians are not smiling at all and this is beyond political , religious or ethnic affiliation..

You should come live here for 3 months without dollar or BP backing and experience what Nigerians are facing..

No duro sibi yi naa..

Ezechinwa:


OK, now let's use another analogy,
you apply to Chevron for a contract, and in the contract you are suppose to conduct feasibility analysis to determine if your goals are achievable and also stipulate the time frame too..
some of the goals you mentioned before being awarded the contract included stuffs like:
1. I will wipe out book Haram in 6months.
2. I will pay the youths 5k every month.
3. I will make 1 dollar equivalent to the naira.
4. I will feed school children

the list is endless...
now the time frame you stipulated has elapsed and your begging for more time?

the result of such action only shows failure cause just as Europe is concerned , if CRonaldo is to be paid 600k pounds every week then both partied most obey the contract and no room for excuses.

the biggest problem we have in Nigeria is not our leaders (although the are a big problem) but the gullible followers who only seem to believe everything they are told without proper interrogation,the same can be said in our churches , Tribal differences etc, only make me wonder why can we ask our leaders one very important question which is;

"Sir How do you intend to achieve these promises you have made" only

ConqueredWest:
So we shouldn't judge his nepotism.

Afonjas are a disgrace to humanity

TeamSimple:

If you people don't stop your uneccesary insults and accusations on the 'afonjas' am sorry to say, your people and your party might never taste governance at the Federal level anymore.

These same 'afonjas' gave Jonathan so much votes in 2011 and 45% in 2015, my worry is how do you expect the 45% afonjas that voted for your party to feel?

For the less than 5% that voted for the so called 'afonja' party in the East and South south and are being insulted by the afonjas, the afonjas can still do without them come 2019.

What am saying is that if you people still think and dream of governing Nigeria someday, you better reduce your level of hatred.
Two things I know for sure :
* Nigeria is not dividing soon. Not in another 100yrs
*and at this moment of ethnic and religious relationship, the north prefer to go in collaboration with the West than any other.

ajebuter:


Ajebuter girl? at over 40? That got me lol..

fearless2014:
Bakare is a bigotted hypocrite !!

This was the same man that was dancing to Eedris' 'Nigeria jagajaga' at Ojota and at the same spot spewing thrash against GEJ & NOI fuel subsidy removal policy.

Nigerians beware of hypocrites.
