We have a mess to clean up – Saraki says the pressure in on APC

by Panshak Ibrahim

A former Governor of Kwara State, Dr. Bukola Saraki, says the President-elect, Maj Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and the All Progressives Congress will be facing immense pressure from Nigerians to perform almost immediately.

Saraki stated that the new-ruling party cannot afford not to hit the ground running.

Speaking during a media briefing in Ilorin, Kwara, on Monday, however, he assured Nigerians that APC would not fail them, instead will deliver the dividends of democracy to the people.

He said, “We have the mess to clean up. Expectations are very high. All the people that have gone around shouting ‘Change,’ ‘Sai Buhari,’ ‘Sai APC,’ they are expecting immediate result and we must have the people that will hit the ground and be able to perform.

“The issue is to balance the political expectations of people, who have voted for a political party to win and also for performance. It is clear that with the kind of the mandate that we have been given, we must ensure that we perform and succeed so that we do not reach the problem of PDP, that after a few years, electorate will vote us out.

“The disadvantage that we have is that in the time of PDP, people did not have the voice or the ability to vote, so you could afford with non-performance to stay in office but now it is different. So the pressure on us is even more for us to perform.”
