What Buhari Answered Me When I Told Him His Government Was Failing Nigerians–John Oyegun
The pioneer chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Chief John Oyegun has shared insight into his conversation with late president Muhammadu Buhari six months after he assumed the office of the Nigeria’s president.
John Oyegun while speaking in an interview on Arise Tv with Charles Aniagolu, highlighted his effort to reminding president Muhammadu Buhari the core promises of “change” which he made to Nigerians and which resulted in his winning the 2015 presidential election.
John Oyegun who now serves as the chairman of policy manifesto committee of the coalition party–African Democratic Congress (ADC), stated in the interview that as the then chairman of the APC, after noticing the direction of the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration in its first six month, he went to meet the president to inform him that his administration was not delivering the promises he made to Nigerians during the presidential campaign. President Muhammadu Buhari in his response, informed him that he has altered his leadership ideology, emphasizing that he will not apply strictness of a military leader and that he has resolved to prove that he is a true civilian president.
John Oyegun added that president Muhammadu Buhari’s decision made his administration “a business as usual”, insinuating that the politicians were prioritized over the poor masses whom the president had promised positive change.
“As national chairman of the APC, 6 months into our winning the election, I went to President Buhari alarmed that he wasn’t delivering what was promised – Buhari said he was not coming with his strictness and instead wanted to show people he is a true civilian president. It became business as usual”, John Oyegun stated.
Speaking on the coalition party- ADC and its promise of rescuing Nigeria from poor leadership in 2027, John Oyegun highlighted that the ADC will do things differently by putting the people’s interest over politics and party. According to him, it will not be business as usual as every member of the ADC including Nigerians want a positive change.
