Dogara appeals for more patience with APC
government

Abuja - Nigerians will begin to reap the
dividends of promises made by the All
Progressives Congress (APC) when the 2016
budget is passed into law, Speaker, House of
Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has
promised.

This is contained in a statement issued by
Turaki Hassan, Dogara’s Special Adviser on
Media and Public Affairs and made available
to newsmen on Saturday in Abuja.
Dogara urged Nigerians to exercise more
patience with the APC-led government to
fulfill its campaign promises.
He said the last six months could not be used
to judge the performance of President
Muhammadu Buhari-led administration,
saying the administration inherited empty
treasury and a battered nation.


The Speaker stated that Buhari was facing
enormous challenges but determined to
surmount them.
"Nigeria is passing through difficult times and
the citizens need to show more understanding
and patience as damages done to the country
will take time to fix."

"The 2016 budget will soon be presented by
the president and the appropriation bill will
contain promises for the masses,’’ he said.
Dogara said that Nigerians should criticise the
government if after the passage of the 2016
budget it failed to deliver.
"We cannot afford to disappoint you and the
mandate you gave us. Give us and the
president maximum support and we shall not
disappoint you."

"Change is a gradual process; with patience
we will bring the desired change and
development you clamour for," Dogara said.
