Femi Adeshina Blasts Metuh Over Calls To Pray For Buhari

Special Adviser, Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, has
blasted the national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
after its 30-day appraisal of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration as
leader of Nigeria, noting that, the PDP has “a long road of regrets to travel”.

Adesina in a statement issued on Sunday, said Buhari’s
administration was cleaning PDP’s Augean Stable (mess). “It is amusing to read
what the National Publicity Secretary of the defeated Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP), Olisa Metuh, considers a 30-day appraisal of the President Muhammadu
Buhari administration.

“He wants Nigerians to join hands in prayers for the
government, so that things would begin to move. What he does not know is that
Nigerians had long formed such coalition. They are hands in hands, and that was
what gave victory to President Buhari in the March 28, 2015 poll,” Adesina
said.

He noted that Nigerians collectively booted PDP out of power
following its dismal rule. “They had teamed up to uproot an administration that
had brought the country to her knees, and was about to tip her off the
precipice. And Nigerians have resolved that never would they allow any
government to divide them along regional, religious and ethnic fault lines
again.”

“The Buhari administration is naturally contemplative
because there was absolutely no rhyme or reason to the way PDP ran the country,
particularly in the immediate past dispensation. That is why the Augean Stable
is being cleaned now, and it requires scrupulous and painstaking planning.
Across all sectors, our national life was devalued, and it takes meticulousness
and sure-footedness to repair all the breaches. This, the Buhari administration
will deliver.”

“Metuh talks of people round the President conniving with
bureaucrats to siphon money from the treasury. This must be deja vu, as it was
the pastime of the immediate past administration, and the enormity of the
sleaze will be evident when stolen money, to the tune of billions of dollars,
is recovered, and returned to the national treasury soon.”

“In the process of time, after all that is being planned by
the current administration has matured, and bearing fruits, Nigerians will be
able to determine who is serving them acceptably, and who has taken them for a
ride. It is just a matter of time.

“Meanwhile, Metuh and his masters can only rue the missed
opportunities to make salutary impact on the lives of Nigerians. They have a
long road of regrets to travel,” Adesina said.
