Nigeria’s former Ambassador to Greece and current representative in Pakistan, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has limited time to bring about the needed change he promised Nigerians.
“The task is more urgent because there is only but a limited time before impatience on the part of the public blends with resistance from vested interests and dilutes the national consciousness for change,” he said according to Daily Trust.
“Fortunately, goodwill for the person of President Buhari is considerable, and people are willing to give him time to reset the country.”
He also said the Federal Government must make its policies clear, adding that Nigerians cannot afford to be kept in the dark in this computer age.
He further advised Mr. President to be prepared for resistance from some quarters, especially those who would be affected by his policies for change.
“For the change we seek to be more than a mere slogan, it must also temper official attitudes in the public service. It is necessary to reform all arms of government and their institutions.
“The simple truth is that despite the leadership and vision of the president, and regardless of the merits and commitment of every member of his team, without change in the attitude of the public service, good intentions will not produce change.”
The ruling party APC, has “Change” as its slogan.
