A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress(APC), in Delta State and
National Organising Secretary for Grassroot Mobilisers for Buhari, High
Chief Igho Osiebe, Wednesday, adjudged President Muhammadu Buhari, the
best President in the history of Nigeria.
Saying Nigerians should be grateful to God who through the forces of
change and accelerated development thrust up the Daura-born retired
General and politician.
Chief Osiebe, who was stated this in Asaba, said President Buhari had
displayed enough competence in administering the country especially his
prudent management of resources in his drive to deliver quality service
to the Nigerian people.
The High Chief of Agbon Kingdom in Ethiopia East area of the oil-rich
state, cited the recovery of looted funds starched away in foreign
banks by politicians, who corruptly enriched themselves in the past by
the President Buhari-led APC administration as a legacy that will live
beyond the “no nonsense” retired General.
According to him, as things stand at the moment, there is seeming
sanity in the way politicians carry out their businesses in a clear
departure from the immediate past government, saying as time goes on,
“we as a people shall celebrate a nation free of corruption.”
He took a swipe on the Yakubu Wada-led faction of the Nigerian Labour
Congress(NLC) for leading Nigerian workers on strike, noting that such
action was self-serving, lack of patriotism to the government and the
‘good people’ of Nigeria.
He wondered if Wada understands the basic economic principles of a
free market economy as being introduced in the downstream sector of the
petroleum industry as he called on the FG to avoid the “booby trap” of
salary increase for workers noting that such was a catalyst for hyper
inflation.
Osiebe condemned the renewed hostilities pivoted by the self
acclaimed Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, in the Delta region wondering what
was there to avenge?
According to him, NDA is an group that does not mean well for the
region in its self-serving drive urging the federal government to deal
decisively with any mischief maker where and when necessary.
“In President Buhari we have Nigeria’s best President in our national
history and it is of note that we as a people must be grateful to those
forces of change and accelerated development who gave us this weird
character.
“We have seen with enthusiasm how much this generation of politicians
dread him and how much he has been able to hound the looters of our
national patrimony to surrender and I want to urge him on.
“Ours is an action packed President who will fire anybody who
deviates from the path of bringing glory to our nation like we saw in
the sack of the immigration boss over alleged extortion of officials of
the Nigerian Immigration Service, such action is alien to us in our
clime.
“I understand a group of masochists who goes by the name, Niger Delta
Avengers, vowed to hold Nigeria ransom, I wonder what they are
avenging, in whose interest and for what? We are peace loving people in
the region therefore the president should go all out for any trouble
maker when and wherever necessary,” he said.
