Buhari: Critics of nationwide address insincere – Don Etiebet

A former Minister of Petroleum and a chieftain of All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Chief Don Etiebet, has noted that many did not really listen to the nationwide broadcast of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari addressed Nigerians on Monday following his arrival from medical vacation in London.

Etiebet said critics of the President only listened to Buhari’s address having their minds fixed to their thoughts.
According to him, the address carried all that Nigerians were clamouring for, including the issue of restructuring.
His words, “He has sincerely gone very far to lay the ground work to achieve the much-needed Nigerian unity.
“He stated that our unity can only come if we create an equitable and just nation.

“On restructuring the President said: ‘I want those at the forefront of the fight for restructuring Nigeria to bring me proposals and blueprints on how to make things better’.
“He said he wants to see resources shared in such a way that those from the areas where these resources come from do not feel cheated by the rest.
“Furthermore, the President said he wants to devolve power from the centre and he wants to free the regions to stand on their own as it is enshrined in our constitution.
“He also went on to demand a master plan of what should be done on his desk in the next six months just as he looks for a holistic treatment of all that ails us.

“What else do those condemning the President want? May be they neither read nor listened to his speech but had become fixated on their thoughts.”
