President Muhammadu Buhari rode to victory in May on a promise to revive the country’s moribund economy, vanquish Boko Haram terrorists who controlled much of the northeastern part of the country and tackle the pervasive corruption that has stifled development in Africa’s most populous nation.

Five months later there is growing disenchantment that the president has not delivered on his lofty promises, while taking an unprecedented amount of time just getting his government staffed.

“I think he’s too slow,” said Innocent Lagi, a Buhari ally and former attorney general of Nasarawa State in central Nigeria. “He must have underestimated the problems of the country.”

Six months into office, Mr. Buhari had installed just half of the Cabinet and top-level appointments under his discretion, slowing the former army general’s ability to capitalize on his postelection honeymoon. Recently the Nigerian Senate approved the last of his Cabinet picks, but only after the president admitted he hasn’t figured out exactly which portfolios his new ministers will be given.

Mr. Buhari has complained that the country was “materially and morally vandalized” before he took power, but critics say that his slow start is undercutting the momentum to overhaul the government and economy in Nigeria, which Transparency International ranked as 136th — tied with Russia — among 176 countries in its Corruption Perceptions Index.

Ok.

Slow and steady wins the race.

It's better to be slow and achieve something, than ramp up pace but end up with nothing to show for.

Well thought out, calculated moves take time to bear. And it's those that produce the greatest results in the aftermath.

In hindsight, these people will realise how dumb it was spewing such trash!

And since when is pace the yardstick to achieving success?

Live fast, die young, live fast, die young...

They were not prepared for Governance! While Pdp took the Nigerian people for granted, the Apc worked on the gullibility of Nigerian People and got an HISTORIC MANDATE they are finding difficult to manage. Unfortunately one man who could have helped Buhari on how to go about giving the dividend of democracy BOLA TINUBU, he pushed overboard.

Slow and steady wins the race.


We will get there.


God bless Nigeria.
