Buhari is God sent — APGA chair

The National Chair man of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Oye, said yesterday that President Muhammadu Buhari is God sent and should be supported by all.

In an interview in Abuja, Oye said the likes of Buhari were hard to come by and Nigerians must give praises to the Almighty for having him at these trying times.

Oye condemned those saying Buhari did not perform. “We can make this nation work. Look at corruption; whoever said Buhari did not fight corruption, that person is not fair. Look at the Treasury Single Account (TSA), it means bye-bye to corruption. Government saves billions every month that were going to private pockets; now nobody can do that again, at all.

“Hate speeches would not help this nation. When Buhari came initially, all his appointments were skewed towards the North. Who wouldn’t do that? We would all do the same thing. You know we’re growing as a nation. Now he has realized and he has said it particularly to the south easterners that he is going to do something to balance the inequilibrium; that’s a leader. Nobody in life is perfect; we can build a strong united nation burying out hatchets as a people,” he said.

Oye, however, said to avoid belligerence and agitations, Nigeria should go back to regional system to give each region enough powers to manage its resources without prejudice to the vital role of the centre in the areas of security, central bank and others.
