The House of Representatives on Thursday urged Nigerians to exercise patience while assessing the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in the last one year in office.The House, which said the leadership of the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, remained accountable to the people, said the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government should be assessed from the point of the “decay” in the system prior to May 29, 2015.
The Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, spoke while giving the 2016 first quarter report on the activities of the legislature, advised against a hasty rating of Buhari one year in office.
Gbajabiamila argued that one year out of a four-year tenure was not enough for the government to have transformed the country.
However, he stated that the determination of the President to correct the ills of the past through the anti-corruption crusade must not be lost on the people and his critics.
