The 100 days mark was created and first implemented by Franklin Roosevelt, President of the United states, from 1933-1945, so as to correct the negative inactivity of the Herbert Hoover administration which led to the Great Depression. He did this by improving the communication channels between the Government and the people, by implementing social oriented policies that favoured the lives of the people over the interests of the big monopolistic firms which had been responsible for the taming and gaging of the Hoover administration. The 100 days programme was instrumental in garnering the support of the people in the war years, but was discontinued after the war, but was later implemented in 1961.
In the history of our democracy, ever since the return to civilian leadership, the 100 days mark has always been a sort of ritual between the government and the electorate. It was done by all the PDP governments and even the AC and ANPP state governments. So it makes no sense to pretend the practice has been jettisoned from our democracy, when it has been framed in our minds as part and parcel of governance. Whether or not the APC government recognises it, they have been put on the measurable scales by the electorate and scored.
The argument can be compared to a student who is not prepared for an examination, like Jamb and then hopes the date of the examination will be extended, without preparing for it in the near or distant future. At the end of the day, he has no say in when and how he will be scored, only the examiner has that power. We, the people are the examiners.
