Former Abia State governor, Orji
Uzor Kalu has admitted that things are very difficult under the present
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The former governor, however,
stated that it was normal since president Buhari is slowly taking Nigerians to
the promised land.
Kalu said Buhari has good
intentions for Nigeria and called on all Nigerians across religious, ethnic and
political divides to support the president for greater success.
The APC chieftain spoke to
journalists at the Funeral ceremony of Chief James Babatunde, a fellow of the
Nigerian Institute of Town Planners.
“Things have been very difficult,
I agree. But my grandmother used to tell me that when a tailor gets a brand new
cloth, he has to first cut it into pieces, then make it into a very fine dress.
“That is where we are today.
Everybody must be crying, we’ll get it (the nation) back on course.
“We are heading to the Promised
Land. Buhari is leading us to the Promised Land, but people don’t understand.
There are two types of components that make democratic process – the hardware
and the software.
“The hardware is what you see,
such as road construction and reconstruction. The software is obedience to rule
of law, accessibility to people’s mind, obedience to court order, making sure
that court of competent jurisdiction’s orders are respected, and making sure
that everything done in the law is totally agreeable.
“Our problem in Nigeria is very
simple. People are not obeying traffic lights. Big people don’t want to obey
simple rule; ‘do not cross this line’, this is the problem the country has.
This is what Buhari is saying, that, ‘no, you cannot do without due process.’
“Buhari is trying to say to
Nigerian people that, ‘yes I might be slow, but we have to go through a process
which is internationally acceptable’. So, we are on course,” he said.
