A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and the party’s senatorial candidate for the Akwa Ibom North-West senatorial district, Chief Inibehe Okori, has said that the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, will shock critics with his pronouncements on May 29.
Speaking in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital, on Sunday, Okori stated
that Buhari would prove to Nigerians and the international community
that corruption would be checked as soon as the president-elect settled
down to work.
He added that Buhari’s proclamation, dedication and discipline will go a
long way in restoring hope, faith and confidence of the citizens in the
country.
He said, “Unlike other presidents who were not prepared for leadership
but foisted on the country by individuals and interest groups, the
President-elect has consistently presented himself to the electorate to
lead the country on four occasions and had his visions well enunciated.

“Buhari is taking over government on May 29 and from that day, I expect
that he will make major pronouncements that will position Nigeria for
greatness. This country must have a direction and move in the way it
should. We don’t have any reason to be poor. We have no reason to remain
the way we are – not after earning more than $50bn annually from oil
and gas.”
Explaining that the expectations of the people from the incoming
administration were high, he noted that there was the need for Nigerians
to be patient with Buhari’s administration because “Rome was not built
in a day.”
He said that within the period of one year of Buhari’s presidency, the
international perception about the country would change and Nigeria
would regain her rightful place in the comity of nations.
Okori lamented the poor state of the Uyo-Afaha-Nkan-Nkwot- Nnung-Ukum
Road which had remained motorists’ nightmare, regretting that the people
of Ikono were made to suffer untold hardship from “a government that
claimed it had already completed the road at the cost of N26.4bn in the
2014 budget.”
