Elder statesman, Chief Ayo Opadokun spoke candidly about President Muhammadu Buhari recently.
“By the grace of God, President Muhammadu Buhari will return to the country medically sound, fit and strong to run the country and execute the promise(s) he made to Nigerians pretty soon. I am aware, by the grace of God, of what was schemed against Buhari – remember that when the old man came back from his previous medical trip, he said he had never been this sick. Something went wrong. Some people did certain things. Something wonderfully went wrong.”
“Although I am not a medical doctor and I am not an insider. I am also not his spokesperson; this is not the Buhari we knew. By the grace of God, Buhari will return safe, sound and healthy. I have no doubt in my mind that they have laid down the architecture in the last two years for them to be able to perform. If you knew the extent of damage done to the Nigerian economy before Buhari assumed power, you would be sorry for the country. Except those who don’t want to know or are part of the ousted political party, this administration is working.”
“With falling oil prices and poor economic policies of previous administrations and the nefarious activities of the Niger Delta Avengers, what kind of magic do you want Buhari to perform? The four-year mandate given to him is not over. He has two more years to go. I believe that the next two years – particularly the next one year – will witness good service delivered by this administration.”
