President Muhammadu Buhari says he hopes God gives Nigerians the patience to tolerate his government.
Buhari said this on Friday when he hosted a delegation of judges led by Walter Onnoghen, chief justice of Nigeria, at the presidential villa in Abuja, on Friday.
He said his administration had been doing its best to overcome the challenges it inherited.
“I have said it so many times, I don’t mind saying it now to you because some of you may not have even the time to listen to radio or watch television as regularly as other people do,” he said.

“From 1999 to 2014, Nigeria has never realised so much resources since our independence, never, because the average production – go to any renowned financial or economic institution in the world; they know Nigeria produced an average of – (was) 2.1 million barrel per day at an average cost of 100 dollars per barrel.
“But when we came in it crashed to 37 dollars per barrel, and we overlooked saving and there was no saving.
“So really, we have just started working and we hope God in his infinite mercy would give Nigerians the patience to tolerate us.”

Same complaints. Buhari oooooo. Your wahala ehn
It isn’t a compliant. It is a fact we must internalize. Beyond Buhari and individuals we must know what happened to us. Even if oil price rebounds we must never travel same route again. Let us now build agriculture and agro-based industries to sustain our growth while oil will be catalyst. But this is not a two-year program.
Enough of the lamentation, What’s your blue print . Obj met an empty treasury , but was able to revitalise the economy .. I guess you were given the job on the premise that you will come up with critical thinking strategy to move the nation forward. Meanwhile, We are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the grass cutting probe and the kachiku gate
