Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has admitted that there is a problem with the current Federal Government.
Featuring on Sunday Politics on Channels Television, Gbajabiamila said though there is problem, Nigerians should give Buhari more time.
He noted that Nigerians must understand “where we are coming from” before berating the slow pace of the country towards economic recovery.
According to Gbajabiamila, “If you look at it objectively, there is a problem and I quite agree with you. But we must understand where we are coming from. Where were we two years ago?
“We were at the bottom. If there is anything lower than the bottom, that was where we were.
“Let me use the United States as an example. When Obama came in, he inherited a recession not as bad as this, and that’s a country that functions.
“The first year, second, third, fourth, fifth year, into the second term, he didn’t recover – sixth year, it was perhaps a year to the end of his second term, that the United States started getting out of its recession.
“But we are asking that something should be done in a country that was in rot, far worse than the US was, in 18 months.
“Even if you are a magician, its more complicated than that. The president means well for this country. He has advisers who are good. I think we should give him a little more time.”
