“Mr. President, the feedback we get from visits to our various constituencies is that there
is hardship in the land. We can see it and we can feel it. This
situation therefore commands all of us as government to a greater sense
of urgency. We cannot work magic, but we must continue to work the
clock.

Our
people must see that the singular pre-occupation of government is the
search for solution to the current economic hardship; and the commitment
to ease their burden. They don’t want to know what political parties we
belong, what
language we speak or how we worship God. They have trusted their fates
into our hands, and they need us now more than ever, to justify the
trust that they have reposed on us.”

“join me in urging Mr President to add distorted budget cycle and abandoned capital projects /white elephant projects, to the list of things, in addition to corruption, that he must kill.”
