The Personal Assistant on Social Media to President Muhammadu Buhari, Lauretta Onochie in this interview, tells CHUKS-OYEMA-AZIKEN that Nigerians were hungry during the reign of PDP
Lauretta Onochie, Personal Assistant on Social media to President Muhammadu Buhari locates the moral deca­dence in the society to greed and loss of values. According to her, “Nigerians left the values we were taught, greed crept in and our leaders began to dip their hands into public purse, we stopped being our neigh­bours’ keeper.
‘’Nepotism crept in. We threw merit overboard and em­braced mediocrity. It affected the entire fabrics of the coun­try.’’
She further urges Nigerians to be patient with the present administration. Her words: “Is­sues that bedevilled our nation over16 years cannot be tackled in 2 years. What this govern­ment is putting on ground are measures like ease of doing business. Everything cannot happen overnight. Change is what we promised; it is not an event, it is a process. We are working towards it. It is get­ting better; we are not where we ought to be. We are not where we used to be.’’
Recall that in 2010, President Muhammadu Buhari urged then ailing and now late Presi­dent Umaru Yar Adua to resign. With some prodding Buhari to now resign just as he said then. What is your reaction to this?
“The two situations are en­tirely different, very different. Late Yar Adua left this country as President and died as Presi­dent, President Buhari handed power over to the Vice-Presi­dent. You cannot compare the two issues. President Buhari has followed the constitutional requirements to the latter, he informed the National As­sembly before he left, when he is coming back, he is going to follow due process. He is a due process advocate.’’
Asked if Buhari is fit to con­tinue as President, she said: “absolutely and unless Nigeri­ans say no and I doubt if that will happen, President Buhari is very fit to run for the 2019 elections.
‘’Nigerians are getting what they voted for in this govern­ment .We were hungry during the PDP government; just a few people had private jets. 11 million children as of that time were out of school due to the crisis in the North East. We are trying to redistribute the wealth so the common man can have something for himself. We have enough for everyone in this na­tion, but a few people then ap­propriated to themselves.
‘’We have the N-Power which serves as work experi­ence for our young graduates, some graduated over 10 years. N-Power is taking care of that requirement.’’
On the reasons why Nigeria has not witnessed massive in­frastructural development in the past two years, she inter­jected: ‘’Project takes time and change takes time. We have to be patient as a people. It is al­ways very difficult. Human be­ings are naturally resistant to change and that is what is hap­pening at the moment. With time, everything is going to smoothen out.”
She said there is no resur­gence of the Boko Haram sect. Her words: “If issues of terror­ism can be easily nipped, you cannot be hearing of terrorist attacks in the UK, USA and other advanced nations. We need to work harder in gather­ing intelligence. It will take a while. We must give it to the Ni­gerian Army, they have worked very hard and we should give it to them’’
She accused the PDP of churning out lies to Nigerians, saying: “That is what PDP is known for. They tell lies; look at the kidnap of Chibok girls, they doubted it. We held Jonathan to account and provided a virile opposition.
‘’PDP is not a virile opposi­tion, they have shown they are not ready for it, with the lies they churn out against this gov­ernment, APC as an opposition party took on PDP on issues not telling lies and bringing up propaganda, and the several cases of corruption has proved us right.”
