TRACKING______The Senate Minority Caucus on Friday reacted to President Muhammadu Buhari’s New Year speech.
The President has, in his New Year address promised to address issues bedeviling the nation.
But, reacting to the address, the Caucus, in a statement by the Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, told Mr. President to face governance and stop making excuses at every turn.
Abaribe also said that the legislature, particularly the minority caucus is ready to cooperate with the presidency in any sincere and genuine effort to tackle insecurity in the country and keep the people safe.
“As for us in the minority caucus, we are willing as always to cooperate with the presidency in any sincere and genuine effort to provide good governance to Nigerians,” he said.
“Nonetheless, President Muhammadu Buhari must as a fact face governance and stop making excuses at every turn, especially his penchant at making references to 2015 as reasons why he fails to perform. It does not end at making broadcast, but in exhibiting genuine seriousness in governance for all Nigerians.
“The President is elected to provide governance, by so doing he must be ready to proffer solutions, right wrongs where they exist and solve problems besetting the country in every facet and not always relapse to advancing excuses to explain away palpable failures.
