Catholic Archbishop Emeritus of Lagos, Anthony Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie has called on Nigerians to give President Muhammadu Buhari time to effect the desired change.
The cleric expressed confidence that Buhari’s war against corruption and insecurity would yield fruit very soon.
He also argued that Boko Haram would soon become history.
Speaking with newsmen recently, Okogie who was in the military during the civil war, dismissed accusations that the Buhari administration was rather slow in implementing its campaign promises.
He said: “A good soldier always strategizes. They take their time to do things. They don’t just jump into doing things. Don’t forget that he was a military head of state before. Now he’s putting on another cloak, so he has to be democratic. He has to study the ground first of all,” Okogie said.
He stressed that Nigerians must not forget that the former military man had attempted to be president thrice before he eventually won on March 28.
