In commemoration of this year’s Democracy Day on May 29, the former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu, has implored Nigerians to exercise patience as President Muhammadu Buhari tries to fix the country battered by the last administration.
This was contained in statement Kalu issued on Thursday.
He said: “The rot perpetrated by the previous regime under the leadership of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan over the years on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will take some time for clean-up. Nigerians must display endurance at this critical time as President Muhammadu Buhari addresses the augeans stables.
“It is quite easy and simplistic to destroy, but takes a longer period, commitment, hard work and sacrifice to correct ingrained anomalies. There can be no magic wand in sorting out the maze of unprecedented corruption, official banditry, nonchalant looting and holistic underdevelopment, which characterized the immediate-past government.
“Once more, I use this occasion of the 2016 Democracy Day to enjoin fellow Nigerians to understand the predicament in which we are that was created by President Buhari’s predecessor in office and collaborate with the current turn-around team of leaders at various levels in the country in the redemption and repositioning of our fatherland.”
In a statement issued by Kalu’s Media Adviser, Ebere Wabara, the former governor declared that with the support of everyone, Nigeria would soon regain its lost glory and bounce back to the era of national flourish, continental leadership and global pride.
