Nasiru Danu, a member of the national executive committee  (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), says the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is successful.

Danu said this in reaction to the statement credited to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo.

On Monday, Obasanjo urged Nigerians not to reelect the “incompetent government” of Buhari.

But speaking with journalists at APC national secretariat on Tuesday, Danu said Obasanjo is entitled to his own opinion.

He said Buhari never promised to be a miracle worker but his achievements in security and the economy are “obvious.”

“The truth is that everybody can have his opinion on an issue but to me this is a successful administration. Buhari never promised to be a miracle worker. In three years the success of this administration in the economy, security is obvious,” he said.

“There is no nation that can progress or have meaningful development with the past levels of corruption. When somebody says he is a failure, failure in what? Are we talking about the railways connecting the country?

“The Port Harcourt-Maiduguri or Lagos-Kano rail line? The Mambilla project, the second Niger bridge etc. Insecurity, compared to what we had before, there are improvements. Before Buhari, we were having attacks even in Abuja not Maiduguri but you can see the successes clearly.

“This is an election year. People are entitled to their own opinion. Obasanjo is an elder statesman and he is entitled to his own opinion. That is not the opinion of Nigerians.”
