Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday asked President
Muhammadu Buhari to stop the blame game and proffer solutions to myriad
problems confronting the country.
Speaking at the first Akintola Williams Annual Lecture, Obasanjo
said, it was uncharitable for Buhari’s administration to continue to
blame past governments that had served since 1999, saying that the
administration needs to evolve policies that will take Nigeria out of
the woods.
Obasanjo said, “The blanket adverse comments or castigation of all
democratic administrations from 1999 by the present administration is
uncharitable, fussy and uninstructive.
“Politics apart, I strongly believe that there is a distinction
between the three previous administrations that it would be unfair to
lump them all together. I understand President Buhari’s frustration on
the state of the economy inherited by him. It was the same reason and
situation that brought about the cry for change, otherwise, there would
be no need for change if it was all nice and rosy.
“No administration can or should be comfortable with the
excruciating pain of debilitating and crushing economy. Businesses are
closing, jobs are being lost and people are suffering.
“I know that President Buhari has always expressed concern for the
plight of the common people but that concern must be translated to
workable and result-oriented socio-economic policy and programme that
will turn the economy around at the shortest time possible.
“We cannot continue to do the same thing and expect things to change.”
