Some Nigerians yesterday reacted to the President Muhammadu Buhari’s inaugural speech where he said:
"I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.A few people have privately voiced fears that on coming back to office I shall go after them. These fears are groundless. There will be no paying off old scores. The past is prologue"
One of them was Former Minister and PDP presidential campaign chairman, Fani-Kayode who said:
‘’I believe his part of non vendetta will be true, all Nigerians should
join hands to see Nigeria move forward. “I believe it was a promising
speech and sincerely hope that he is true to what he has said especially
on the issue that he will not be on a vendetta mission. I hope he is
saying the right thing; hope his words will be proved to be truth. “It
is incumbent upon all of us as politicians to ensure that the next four
years go on smoothly. I trust that all will be well and the country will
move forward.”
According to the statement issued by the governor’s Special Assistant on Public Communications and
New Media, Lere Olayinka, The Governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose, said:
“The content of the President’s speech showed a man who is desirous of
making a success of his administration.Nigerians, including those who
voted and did not vote for President Buhari were eagerly waiting for his
inaugural speech.
The speech, if followed in practice, shows that he is ready to
govern Nigeria and it is a sign that the president is ready to live
above board and lead a government that accommodates all.
“It is my prayer that the Almighty Allah will grant our president
the courage and wherewithal to make a success of his administration
and further deepen democratic governance, especially in a
confederation like Nigeria, by sustaining rule of law,”
In regards to former President Jonathan, he said:
“With what Dr. Goodluck Jonathan did, history will never forget him as
the man who laid an enduring foundation for democracy in Nigeria.”
Another reaction was from the Pioneer National Woman leader of the PDP
and former Minister of Women Affairs and delegate to the 2014 National
Conference Iyom Josephine Anenih.
She said: “I like President Muhamadu Buhari’s speech. He was very kind
to former President Jonathan by acknowledging the role he played in
keeping Nigeria one and united.
His avowed blueprint when implemented will definitely spell a positive
Change for this country. His speech was very states manly. Very
reassuring to the nation.
