Buhari’s 100 Days: Placing Nigeria on the firm path to recovery- By Bola Ahmed Tinubu

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria
Three months ago, the course of Nigeria’s future changed for the better. The All Progressives Congress won a historic election.

Tired of the broken promises and damaged public institutions wrought by sixteen years of Peoples Democratic Party’s misrule, the people demanded change. By virtue of the election, the people reclaimed the primacy of their sovereign will. They demanded that government should serve them before serving itself.

That proclaimed that government for the people was not only possible in this land but that its establishment was overdue. The breath of hope was restored to the body politic. On that day, we all stood more proudly and more eager to walk into the new day that had come.

But change is not made simply by winning an election or ejecting a few bad seeds from office. Change requires the careful removal of the rotted timber that has made national governance such a rickety structure. It requires the bold articulation yet wise implementation of a vision and supporting policies, programs and projects aimed at making our country better, making our people’s lives better.

Change does not tolerate the high rates of poverty and joblessness that insult our national potential and reduce the lives of too many Nigerians. The change we seek will revive this economy in a way that creates jobs and lifts Nigerians out of poverty that all may enjoy the dignified and secure life promised us.

Change is not weakening our military to the point where it is too demoralized and ill-equipped to protect our people from terrorist violence.Change is energizing that military with new leadership, better war materiel and the firm mandate to rout Boko Haram.

Change is establishing peace and security so that the hundreds of thousands of displaced Nigerians may return home in contemplation of rebuilding their lives in ways better than what was before.

And change means fighting corruption in all of its manifestations instead of consorting with it. No longer shall the public treasury, meant for the wellbeing of the many, be treated as the private reserve of the few.

Nigeria is now 100 days into President Buhari’s leadership. It is clear that he has begun the change Nigeria needs. He has shown the decisiveness, the incorruptibility, security acumen and progressive vision we voted for. He has brought the leadership we desperately need.

I shudder to think where we might be had the prior administration been allowed to govern even 100 days more, let alone another four years.

First, Buhari has turned the table against Boko Haram. He has not hesitated to take the fight to the terrorists, destroying their hideouts, capturing their fighters and equipment while taking the military initiative away from them. They are on their heels and on the run.

To get to this better position, he dismissed general officers who had lost heart and were too hesitant to confront Boko Haram, replacing them with new military commanders selected not on regionalism or favoritism but on the strength of their military leadership and fighting spirit.

The president strengthened our security partnerships with Chad, Niger, Cameroon, and the United States to build a much stronger regional and international coalition to uproot the terrorists. He continues to reach out to other nations to further strengthen that coalition.

We are no longer a junior partner in a fight that mostly takes place on our soil. Because of President Buhari, we are at the head of this multilateral effort, driving it forcefully to successful conclusion.

We are already seeing improvements in safety across the Northeast as Boko Haram retreats and retreats. Buhari will not relent until there is no more Boko haram left to fight.

Buhari is also tackling corruption. Hehas already shown dozens of corrupt officials the exit, demonstrating that he will not tolerate corruption in his government. He is busily plugging the loopholes in the system to prevent the wholesale thievery so common under the predecessor government.The idea of a single federal government account is one such corrective measure.

Moreover, he is studiously tracking where much of the stolen funds went. He is doing this that he may recover these public funds and bring to book those who purloined them.

He will return that money to the people, using the funds to build schools, roads, and hospitals that Nigeria needs.

The President is also taking steps to pull our economy from the dangerous brink where the PDP left it and then to strengthen and diversify the economy that it may provide jobs and prosperity to all who are willing to work to improve their lot.

He has fought and already cured much of the indiscipline and subterfuge that plagued the operation of our refineries and power system.

Just in the first hundred days, refinery production has increased reasonably, lowering the cost of fuel importation and thus spurring greater economic activity. He also has improved electricity production by holding the power companies accountable.

By approving a package of emergency fiscal and financial relief, he has stopped the slide of numerous states into economic depression and imminent bankruptcy. By enabling the payment of back salaries to state government civil servants, he has saved millions of Nigerians from sinking into the hunger and poverty.

Moreover, the funds paid to these people will be used to purchase goods and services thus energizing local economies that were becoming flaccid due to lack of aggregate consumer demand. The former government should have taken this step months ago, even before the election.

However, it let a bad situation fester into impending calamity. Had that government remained in office, it would have allowed the states to slide into bankruptcy, triggering a financial crisis that would have engulfed the banking system if not the entire economy. In his first 100 days, President Buhari staved the financial paralysis of the states and, as such, may have prevented a sudden and crippling financial crisis.

Gone are the days of rebasing falsehood and brazen theft from our treasury.

In coming weeks, he will reveal his budget. The budget will go far toward honoring his campaign promises to boost domestic industries, improve our schools to prepare our children for the jobs of tomorrow, and invest in infrastructure that will make Nigeria a better place to run a farm, build a factory, drive your car, drink the water, construct a home, and create jobs.

We have still a lot of work to do. While reeling, Boko Haram is not completely defeated. Ourstolen girls are not back, and too many from the North East are still unable to return home.

With regard to corruption, we must not only recoup stolen money, we must rediscover lost public ethics. We need to establish the mindset that corruption is criminal and evil and do away with the mentality that has treated it as correct public etiquette.

While actions have been taken to thwart imminent crisis, much needs to be done to place the economy on solid footing over the longer haul. I look forward with great optimism and enthusiasm to the government coming forward with plans to create jobs, modernize our infrastructure and diversify the economy so that our industrial sector may attain greater prominence.

I salute and accept the deliberate painstaking slow fix of this government which is meant to set a stronger foundation for quick economic recovery. The effort to stem the primitive pilferation of our commonwealth must attain national priority. The Buhari administration is committed to building a new country.

Looking at the fragile vehicle they inherited and at the harsh terrain they have been able to navigate, I could not be prouder of what the President, the Vice President and their team have done thus far. If they continue in this manner, they would have done more than justify the people’s faith in them. They would have placed Nigeria on the path to its better self. We cannot ask any more from them than that.

I read this part and remember the 'goat&yam theory'
cheesy

Thank God for the general,
PDP nearly finish us. grin

This set of ppl shouting 100wasted days now sleep and open their dirty underwear for AC to blow them. Mosquitoes nearly finish us while sleeping in darkness and heat. 100days = good electricity that took PDP 16years to fix.

365days-100days = 265days.
265days + 3years is still enough for buhari to clean the mess PDP put us tru all this years.

And the sad news for all the haters is

Guess what wink


Buhari is using 8 good years cool

If you are tired of the country, take the next bus to Benin republic or Cameroon.

This is one good news that wailers will continue to wail over even beyond 2023. The power companies knew that all form of impunities were possible under Jona and so they took advantage of the "Kindergarten President". With our new Sheriff, they have no choice than to shape up or be ready to ship out.

By approving a package of emergency fiscal and financial relief, he has stopped the slide of numerous states into economic depression and imminent bankruptcy. By enabling the payment of back salaries to state government civil servants, he has saved millions of Nigerians from sinking into the hunger and poverty.
TANoids are too intellectually backward to understand the economic benefits that come with the president's intervention in this matter.

Had PDP/GEJ won the last election, Nigeria would not have survived another year without a great economic depression that would have dwarfed that of Greece. The FG would have still continued to borrow money as they did in March and April to pay its workers.

Thank God and thanks to Buhari/Jagaban for saving the country.

Wailers, it's now your turn to wail as you're fond of.

Tinubu has no option, even though Buhari has dumped him long time ago.

Guess, he knows that Buhari is not GEJ, so he has to continue to praise Buhari, if not, he risk what Afonja, Awolowo and Abiola went through and ended their life miserably with shame.

Knowing history is always bound to repeat itself, Tinubu is being carefull not to finish his path to historic end like his predecessors Awolowo, Afonja and Abiola. Atleast he has started with the alliance and he has been dumped. It has always been the normal process in their relationship with the Hausa-Fulani.

The final stage is where Tinubu is now, which is protest the dumping Stage and get the result. Tinubu knowing fully well that if he protest, he is fulfilling the final stage of their historic alliances with the Hausa-Fulani, so, he is trying all his possible best to avert this stage of their historic relationship. He knows the stage he is in now... after Dump, Protest and activism... after protest and activism...Clampdown and arrest... after clampdown and arrest... history is made. Tinubu will now enter history like his predecessors... then the yorubas begin to groom another yoruba man to continue in the fulfilment of this avoidable historic path of the so-called sophisticated people.

Tinubu, even if Buhari takes Nigeria to the doldrums of total destruction, you dare not cough so as to avert repeat of history.

Tinubu is treading on thin ice and thus he wants to walk gently. . .even though the South-West is destined to get the very short end of the stick in their alliance with the North. All is not well b/w Jagaban and Baba, that I can tell you for sure

Even though he is seething with rage, he is just trying to 'fall in line' and save face; otherwise Baba will hasten the process of shifting him into the bush.
The difference b/w Northern and Southern political ideology is enormous. . .If Gbenga is shouting "change" and Adamu is shouting "chanji", they are shouting for very different things.

I just have sympathy for Mr. Amaechi who brought money for building the house, only to be evicted from the main house into the BQ by the care-taker
