The high hopes in the land notwithstanding, the Primate of the Anglican Church, Most Rev. Nicholas Okoh has admonished Nigerians to be patient with President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, saying it will be “very difficult” to fix the country within four years.
Okoh stated this in Abuja while speaking with Thursday, adding that Buhari should be given a year to study the situation and set the agenda properly.
The cleric said: “Nigerians should be patient with Buhari, otherwise, he will worsen things if Nigerians push him to the wall and rush him into action. Let us give him a year to study the situation and set the agenda properly. It is difficult to fix Nigeria within six months.
“You can’t even fix a country within four years. Buhari has to take pain in making approvals; otherwise Nigerians will cause trouble for him. So Nigerians should pray for him and be patient with him.”
Okoh, who denied the allegation of bribery against Christian leaders in the country during the last electioneering campaigns, said the allegation should be taken with a pinch of salt since it was made at a time when the two major political parties were working to win the election at all cost.
