BUHARI REVEALS HOW OBASANJO, YARADUA, JONATHAN ARE BEHIND NIGERIAN’S SUFFERING
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday blamed the previous administrations for the current bad economic situation in the country.
Buhari while addressing workers during the May Day celebration at the
Eagle Square, Abuja said the emergence of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, brought an end to the 16 years of squander by the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP.
According to the President, challenges will always arise in life, “but how we go about solving them determines the outcome.”
Buhari said, “Labour remains unarguably an important element in any
policy, programme and project propagated for national development. This
year’s celebration is significant in a number of ways.
“First, it marks the first May Day celebration under the All Progressive
Congress, APC, administration which brought an end to the16 years of
national squander, bad governance, unbridled corruption and economic
woes by the previous administration.
“I make no excuses as this government of the APC is determined to tackle
headlong all socio-economic ills that have troubled our nation and we
shall evolve solutions to emerging threats to our well-being and the
realization of sustainable development as well as growth anchored on
equity and social justice.
“The times may be tough, but we Nigerians are by nature resilient and
strong and it is that nature that propels us to overcome adversities and
still thrive as a nation.
There will always be challenges in the life of a man and what defines
greatness is the way and manner such challenges are tackled and
overcome. I assure you, great Nigerian workers that this administration
is able and willing to constructively handle the challenges.”
The President urged workers to join hands with his administration in its crusade against corruption.
Buhari said, “The present administration has sought and will continue to
seek the hands of Labour so that together we can attain the enviable
heights of progress in our beloved country.
“It is for this very reason that I aspired to become President which the
Nigerian people have now made a reality.
This administration shall
effect positive change in the lives of average Nigerians, to ensure that
the downtrodden are elevated and most importantly to fight the intense
pain of corruption which has enriched the very few to the detriment of
the majority of Nigerians who groan under the overwhelming weight of
poverty and all the superstructural and infrastructural maladies
resulting from corruption.
“In this fight against corruption, I need you all to be very willing
partners. Fighting corruption in the public service in particular,
requires the workers to play major roles by cooperating with the
government.”
