The Archbishop of Lagos Archdiocese, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie have said that President Muhammadu Buhari had performed below average, warming that Nigeria will be far worst if he got a second term.
Speaking to the Telegram, the cleric maintained that the first term report card would be a stumbling block for Buhari’s quest for re-election, adding that those calling the President out for another term do not mean well for Buhari and are simply enemies of Nigeria.
"As far as Cardinal Anthony Okogie is concerned, his first term is bad; I think it’s below the average mark. So, this will not give him a better chance to stand for a second term. From what is on ground, I don’t think he will get anywhere. The main thing that Nigerians want now is to see the dividends of democracy in action.
"They are telling us that we have pulled out of the recession. Go to the market, there’s nothing like that. There’s no sign of improvement. What is sold for N10 still sells for N10 or even at N12. Is that what you call improvement of the economy?
“They promised to do everything but on getting into saddle, they keep procrastinating. Look at the state of the nation today. It’s as if there is no government", he adds.
