Former Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon has stated that it was too early to start judging the current administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Gowon made this remark while speaking with newsmen in Ibadan, on Sunday.
He noted that questioning Buhari on his first 30 days was unnecessary.
Gowon maintained that rushing the leadership could result in haphazard and wrong actions being carried out by the incumbent leadership whereby Nigerians would be the losers.
According to him, solving the problems bedeviling the country required some time.
He, therefore, beckoned on Nigerians to give the leadership time to deal with some of the problems in a rational manner.
He said, “Give him a chance. You cannot solve any problem within two or three days. People say they want a change but as far as the problem of Nigeria is concerned, you cannot do it in one day, in one month. It will take time before a lot of these changes would be done and done effectively.”
“Let us give Buhari the chance to do things in the proper way to be able to get a good result. I have read it in some papers where people question him that in 30 days nothing has been done. It is unnecessary.
“They criticised me when I was Head of State that the civil war was taking too long. I said, Yes, do they know some of the problems that are involved in dealing with some of those problems?”
