Afenire Reacts To Buhari’s New Year’s Address Says, He Sounds Like A Broken Record

The pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, has described the new year address of president Muhammadu Buhari as someone who was sounding like a broken record.

Afenifere was reacting to the new year address of the Buhari released on Wednesday. The group however urged the president to restructure the country and ensure true federalism.

The National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, discloses this in a statement.

He said ““He is sounding like a broken record. He has been making promises all the time but this government needs to get down to business. When they begin to do what they are supposed to do, they don’t need to make promises because people will see what they are doing.”

On boosting the economy, he said: “We have said it and we are repeating it, there is no way out except they restructure this country. To have a productive economy, the government must look at solid minerals, agriculture. Do you know that Niger State alone is bigger than the Netherland? Netherland is the fourth largest export of agriculture in the whole world.

“What are we doing with land in Niger State? We must become a productive economy. Instead of borrowing money, we can generate enough resources from this country. The only way we can become a prosperous country is to practice true federalism and allow every part of the country to process their resources.”

On insecurity, Odumakin said: “The whole idea of central security should be decentralized and allow each state to have their police. Even as it is now, the victory recorded by the military has been mostly aided by the civilian Joint Task Force. They are more effective.

“They should stop all the propaganda on Boko Haram when it is still intact. Tell no lies claiming victory. They should sit down and work and it should be less propaganda, let the work they are doing speak for themselves and not just making a proclamation.”
