It is not possible to immediately change state of affairs, says Buhari

                    President Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari has said that change of the state of affairs of the nation immediately was not going to be possible considering the decay inflicted on the nation in the past 16 years.
                    Buhari spoke when he receive a delegation of the Northern Elders Forum led by Alhaji Maitama Sule in Abuja.
                   He told the people that while expecting so much from his government, they should tamper their expectations with mercy for the leadership, pointing out that his government is inheriting so many problems such as unemployment, insecurity and infrastructural decay.

Buhari said: “The biggest message is to try and persuade the people that it is not possible to change the state of affairs now. It took 16 years and those 16 years, most of you know it better than myself. Nigeria earned revenue more than what it earned from 1914 to then.
“You know that we use to have Nigeria Airways, Nigeria shipping line, Nigeria Railways. Where are they now? Where is the infrastructure. Consider what we earned Between then and now and what we earned in-between and what is on ground. That is how efficiently how the PDP managed Nigeria in the last 16 years.
“Now we have invariably inherited all the problems, especially in the north east. I am sure that you have heard or seen the children recovered from Sambisa forest. Only the children and women are remaining while all the able bodied have been gotten rid of somehow.
“Some have been taken to as far as Adamawa state to be resettled. A generation has been denied education and health care, infrastructure has gone.
“You can imagine what is happening in the high sea where up to 400,000 barrel of crude oil which we rely on is stolen everyday with the full cooperation of those who are supposed to protect it.
“The fuel price has gone down and 90 percent of foreign exchange we rely on come from that. So, you have to convince your constituencies that we have virtually arrived at the wrong time and that they have to tamper their expectation with some justice towards the leadership.
