Buhari and Femi Adesina

The special adviser on media and publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari,  Femi Adesina has said there was no scientific survey to prove that his boss and the All Progressives Congress have failed.

The presidential spokesman reiterated that there was never a time that government promised to solve all problems bedeviling the country in one fell swoop.

“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 it’s 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 believe that the APC has failed.

“When a government via a party is voted into office, it is voted for a four-year term under our own democratic arrangement. When you have spent two years which is like a mid-term, the first half of a game, you don’t then determine that it has succeeded or it has failed. No. You can be accused of being atomistic using a small part to determine the whole.

“You can’t write the report card of this administration when it is just hitting the halfway mark; that will not be fair. The term is four years and the promises are going to be stretched over that four-year period. Like the minister of sports said recently, APC did not promise to solve all the country’s problems in one year or two years.

“The mandate of the party is four years and it is pacing itself as it goes along and I am sure that by the end of those four years we will have a lot more to record. It is not by a sudden flight, it will not come by a snap of a finger but will the promises be fulfilled? Yes, I believe it will be fulfilled.

“This administration will take Nigeria far beyond how it met it. So if anybody says APC has failed just tell them it’s too early in the day because is a four-year-term and this is just two years. You don’t reach definitive conclusions in two years”.
