Ilesa East and West Constituency Representative in the House of Representatives, Omirin Omirin, has condemned President Buhari’s two terms in office as a “waste” for Nigeria.
Addressing reporters at the Bojah World grand opening in Lagos, Omirin asserted that Buhari’s presidency had failed to deliver on its promises and had left the country in a worse state than before.
He said, “The mess left behind, whoever, even if Jesus Christ becomes the President of Nigeria, especially at this crucial time, people will continue to complain.
“We have not started implementing the 2024 budget. This is to tell you the situation at present.
“By next month, we are supposed to start preparing for the 2025 budget. Fortunately, I am a member of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives. So, I know what is happening in the system as of today,” he said.
While reacting to President Bola Tinubu’s nationwide broadcast in response to protesting youths, Honorable Omirin said that the President means well for Nigeria.
“What I know for sure, is that the President means well for Nigeria. But he may be incapacitated. If you are not there, you will not know it is a hot seat.
“I am a PDP member. This is not a party issue. This is a matter of national concern. We need to pray, encourage him, and give necessary legislative support that can help the system,” added.
He appealed to the protesters to give the president a chance, stating everyone was protesting.
He said, “However, in a situation where hoodlums will hijack the protest, damage people’s properties; it will adversely affect the citizens. We are all protesting. “There is a problem globally. Economic issues, and challenges, throughout the world. The problem is that we did not save for the rainy day. That is exactly what is happening. But I still believe that Nigeria is a good place to live.
“Nigeria should be patient and give the present administration the benefit of the doubt. Our protest will be on the day of elections, let us allow the President to spend his four years so that he will not have an excuse. The next election is coming, if he does not perform to our expectations, vote him out.
“Two elections are coming soon in Edo and Ondo, they can only protest and let them tell the President that their party is not doing well with their votes so they will sit tight. But in the situation where our people vote for APC in Edo or Ondo, it is an indication that they are doing well.”
