The Buhari administration has not failed Nigerians, the Presidency said yesterday.
Besides, a proper assessment of the government’s performance could only be done at the end of its tenure, officials said.
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity Femi Adesina, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Garba Shehu and Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity Laolu Akande fielded questions from reporters at the State House in Abuja. It was a review of the administration’s two years at the helm.
Adesina said the All Progressives Congress (APC) “has four years to deliver and not two years”.
“The person that asked the question said there is a buzz in town. I am sure that you have not conducted a scientific survey that shows you that is a popular position. People can always express their opinions; there is liberty on that but you don’t have a scientific survey that has given you the percentage of people that believed that the APC has failed.
“Like the minister of transportation said recently, the APC did not promise to solve all the country’s problems in one year or two years.
“This administration will take Nigeria far beyond how it met it. So if anybody says APC has failed, just tell them it is too early in the day because it is a four-year term and this is just two years. You don’t reach definitive conclusions in two years.”
