Buhari Inherited A Baggage From Jonathan, He Needs Time To Clear The Mess – Soyinka

Respected nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka has said it would take time for President Muhammadu Buhari to clear the rot he inherited from his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, whose administration, he believed, left a “heavy baggage” and “burden” that may take a while to tackle.
He said: “This (Buhari) administration has inherited a heavy baggage. While I am critical in some aspects of the priority, I think that to clear up the mess left by previous administrations is going to take quite a while, especially in the economy sector. So, I don’t use words like optimism or pessimism; I’m just pragmatic. I look at what is on the ground and, of course, wherever I can intervene, I do both privately and publicly.”
The prof however urged President to sustain efforts at improving the economy.

  2. Our president indeed inherited big mess from the past administration which will definitely take time to clear the mess. I urge Mr President to be more pragmatic in his approach to national issues most especially in the area of job creation, food production, mass transit programme and low cost housing development. Nigerians are ready to support this government which they have shown by accepting the recently increased petroleum product price. The implementation of the 2016 budget should be paramount to Mr President and his cabinet members

    The previous administration has dealt with Nigeria seriously but the present regime should not waste time to clear the mess.
