PDP SENATOR SAYS BUHARI ADMINISTRATION PERFORMANCE IS EXCELLENT

Buruji Kashamu of the PDP has called on the opposition party members to desist from unnecessary criticism of President Muhammadu Buhari leadership so as to enable him concentrate on the tasks at hand he said this became imperative to encourage people in power to be able focused on the business of developing the country.

Kashamu who is the Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, said opposition parties in the country should exhibit maturity by having a balanced view on the activities of the present administration in the country which he said is doing an excellent job and rated it 70%.

Kasahamu stated that: "Opposition is not all about criticising. When a government scores seven out of ten, we should not be shouting about three, we should commend the seven.

"Some associates have quarrelled with me for supporting President Buhari; we should separate politics form party.

"I am a PDP member but that does not mean I should not say the truth. Look at the TSA and the BVN. These are good initiatives that are so far successful.

"We must fight corruption to a standstill for us to move forward and I think Buhari is doing fine."

The Senator, therefore, urged Nigerians to be patient with the present administration saying the present effort is the foundation for a better country.

"Things have really gone bad and it takes time to fix the economy especially with the fall in international oil prices. Buhari is not responsible for the fall so we should be patient with the president."

Commenting on some members of the PDP currently facing corruption investigations, Kashamu said there is a line of distinction between individuals and parties insisting that PDP is a party of integrity and that "sins of officials cannot be visited on the party."

“There is a distinction between parties and individuals. Parties may give people opportunity to serve but these individuals are responsible for their own action. So PDP, in spite of individuals facing trials, is a party of integrity.” He submitted.
