Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, says Nigerians will miss president Muhammadu Buhari when he leaves office in 2023 because he has done his best for the nation despite distractions from all fronts.
Adesina said this in an article published on his official Facebook page on Friday, October 7, titled ‘Buhari’s Footprints On Waterways’.
According to him, “It’s not only in infrastructure, security, anti-corruption, economic diversification, and the like, that President Buhari is making waves, he’s also doing so on water. Inland Waterways.
You can see infrastructural projects in bold relief. Roads, you see, same for bridges, airports, rail network, and others. But when you sail on waterways, you may not know that quiet background work has been done to make your voyage safe. That is what National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) does, and that is the support the President gives.
Some people work with all body movement and pyrotechnics, some others work quietly, unobtrusively. President Buhari is of the latter mould. Without fanfare, devoid of noise, he built the Second River Niger Bridge. The Loko-Oweto Bridge. Bodo-Bonny bridges and road. Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. Rail networks. Airports. He utilized and made our inland waterways more effective and efficient. Plus many more.
Won’t good people miss him when he bre@sts the tape? This quiet performer. We will sure do. But we are delighted that he has done his best for Nigeria, despite distractions from all fronts.”
