NBA wants Buhari to find Solution to Nigeria’s Problems within 100 days
The Nigerian Bar Association has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to map out strategies to tackle the problems of infrastructural deficiency, unemployment, insecurity, pervasive corruption, revenue leakages and persistent scarcity of Petroleum products within his first 100 days in office.
The President of the Association, Augustine Alegeh, SAN, released a statement in Abuja congratulating President Buhari and Vice-president Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, for their successful inauguration while also thanking the former President, Goodluck Jonathan, for conceding defeat after the presidential election.
The statement read: “The act of conceding defeat at the Presidential elections even before the official announcement of the election results greatly helped to douse rising tensions in Nigeria and has reserved for him in Nigerian history, a place of honour as a statesman.
“We celebrate today not just our democracy day but also a change of Government from one Political party to another.
“It is a unique and first time experience and celebration in our democratic experience. It confirms that our democracy is not just growing and developing but it is also maturing.
“We must as a people celebrate our collective success in the peaceful conduct of the 2015 General elections. The massive voter turnout and peaceful conduct of the elections are reflective of our true nature as a peaceful nation.
“The NBA congratulates the victorious candidates at the 2015 General elections and commends other candidates who were not successful at the elections for their offer of service to Nigeria. We trust that the elected candidates appreciate the trust imposed in them and the hope and expectations of the electorate for a better Nigeria where the good of the majority of Nigerians is the guiding principle of Government.
“The NBA commends the outgoing President, HE Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR for the peaceful conduct of the 2015 General Elections which were adjudged largely credible and were reflective of the true wishes of majority of Nigerians.”
