Anti-Corruption and Research
Based Data Initiative, a Civil Society Organisation (CSO), says President
Muhammadu Buhari’s return from his medical vacation will douse tension in the
country.
Executive Secretary of the CSO,
Mr Dennis Aghanya, said this in Abuja on Sunday.
Aghanya said that Nigerians will
now be calm and people will go about their businesses normally.
Buhari, who left the country on
May 7 for medical treatment in London, returned on Saturday to rousing welcome
by Nigerians.
His long absence, which lasted
104 days, stirred controversies, including calls for his resignation if he
would not return to resume his duties.
“It is a wonderful thing that the
president is back; no matter how the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, has
been acting, the president is the president; there is much difference,” Aghanya
said.
“This is because there are things
the acting president could not have done no matter how empowered he is because
as long as the president is still alive, there are certain decisions he could
not have taken.
“So, with the return of the
president now, everything will stabilise and governance will take off on its
normal note.
“His return will also help to
douse certain tension like you saw what happened about the people agitating
over his absence, which almost degenerated into ethnic misunderstanding; so,
many things will be settled.’’
He added that the president’s
return “is a welcome development; we give all the glory to God and may God
continue to strengthen him because the act of governing the country is not
easy.
“We pray that God gives him the
strength to meet up with the demands of governance.’’
Welcome and best wishes Mr President,we thank God for protecting you. Please i want to use this medium to tell you to return Nigeria economy the way you met it in 2015. I know our party APC has failed in all fake promises and propagandas. You have made hungry a normal routine in our everday lives. Please return our economy the way you met it. Thanks
