The former National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Prince Vincent Ogbulafor, has urged Nigerians to give maximum support to President Muhammadu Buhari’s war against corruption in the country.
Ogbulafor made the call in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in his Olokoro country-home in Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia on Friday.
He said, “in his war against corruption, the president should set example with one or two top Nigerians, so that everybody will sit up.’’
Ogbolafor also urged Nigerians to be patient with the president, saying that he needed time to clean up the mess that the country was subjected to.
“Nigerians should be patient with the president because there has been a lot of mess in the country, which he has started to clean.
“We should not expect magic in a few months, so we should give him time to transform the nation,’’ he said.
He said that there had been visible improvement in electricity supply and availability of petroleum products since the inception of the present administration.
Ogbulafor said it was good that Buhari won the general election, saying that “Buhari came at the right time’’.
He said that life would have been more miserable for both the high and low in Nigeria, including himself if Nigeria had gone through another four years under his party.
“Greece would have been better than Nigeria, if Buhari did not win,’’ due to the alleged financial recklessness and fiscal indiscipline’’ in the past.
He congratulated the All Progressives Congress (APC) for successfully wresting power from PDP but advised the party to manage its victory well.
He also urged Buhari to keep to his campaign promises, in line with APC’s manifesto, to bring positive change in the country
