Yakubu Dogara, speaker of the house of representatives, says the Preisdent Muhammadu Buhari-led government has the capacity to provide solutions to the problems confronting the country.
He urged Nigerians to “wait patiently” for the result of the policies of this administration.
Dogara congratulated Nigerians for celebrating 17 years of uninterrupted constitutional democratic rule.
He said Nigeria’s democracy has come of age, but added that the milestone calls for sober reflection on achievements and failures as a democratic nation.
“As a major symbol of democracy, the house of representatives promise to continue to strengthen our democratic growth and development through legislation for the needs and aspirations of Nigerians,” Dogara said in a statement issued on his behalf by Turaki Hassan, his spokesman.
“The 2015 general election that brought the opposition party headed by President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, to power shows that our democracy has matured and come of age.
“As Nigeria faces serious economic challenges as a result of dwindling oil revenues and mismanagement of our resources, Nigerians should trust the capacity of the current government to confront these problems and provide lasting solutions.
“Indeed, we should patiently await the results of the current policies and actions of government which we believe will soon begin to yield positive results.
“It is not an easy task and we are not yet there.
“But with hard work, commitment, dedication and patriotic zeal on the part of all Nigerians and corrupt- free government, our democracy will soon deliver on its promise of good life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
