Former head of state Yakubu Gowon has urged Nigerians to be patient with the Buhari administration following recent criticisms.

According to Nigerian Tribune, Gowon said in an interview on Sunday that pushing the leadership could result in haphazard and wrong actions.

He said, “Give him a chance. You cannot solve any problem within two or three days. People say they want a change but as far as the problem of Nigeria is concerned, you cannot do it in one day, in one month. It will take time before a lot of these changes would be done and done effectively.”

“Let us give Buhari the chance to do things in the proper way to be able to get a good result. I have read it in some papers where people question him that in 30 days nothing has been done. It is unnecessary.”
