A Chieftain of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Ambassador Abayomi Nurain Mumuni has congratulated
Nigerians as the country marks her 57th Independence anniversary as he also
charged President Muhammad Buhari to fulfill his campaign promises.
In a statement released to mark
the occasion, Ambassador Mumuni also advised the President Buhari-led APC
government to use the remainder of its tenure to fulfill its campaign promises
to Nigerians.
The renowned security expert
said; though this might not be the Nigeria of our dreams, the fact that the
country is not in a state of war is a thing of joy for him and millions of
Nigerians.
He said; "I rejoice with all
Nigerians on the peaceful Independence celebration. What would have happened
today if the Arewa youth had carried out their "Igbo-must-go" October
1st threat? What would have happened to our unity if the Biafra agitators had
succeeded in breaking away from Nigeria? We would have been in a state of war,
and war doesn't solve problems but dialogue does."
He commended President Buhari for
his timely intervention in the Biafra issue, adding that there is still more to
do in addressing the plight of the agitators and making life comfortable for
all Nigerians.
"The Buhari I know is a truthful
man. He has good intentions for Nigeria. I contested in the Lagos Gubernatorial
election in 2011 under his party, the defunct Congress for Political Change
(CPC) before the merger with Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) and other
political parties, which led to the formation of the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
"It is however sad that
despite his efforts to bring about positive change, Nigerians are yet to see or
feel it. There is serious hunger in the land.
"While Mr President's
efforts in the war against terrorism and corruption are commended, he should
use the remainder of his tenure to provide basic amenities, including good
roads, quality healthcare and abundant foods for the masses", he
concluded.
