Leadership Strategist and Public Affairs Commentator, John Ekundayo, has commended the Nigerian Military for coming out to back the nation’s Democratic Leadership and Transition.
Mr Ekundayo who was speaking on the TVC News programme, TVC News Breakfast, said the move is a very good one which makes the agitations on Social Media less important than many are making it look like.
He added that their is no precedenc for what the agitators on Social Media are asking for.
He said before now elections have been won and lost and winners irrespective of the status of the Tribunals have been sworn in.
Going down memory lane he ponted out that cases like the Rauf Aregbesola against Olagunsoye Oyinlola in Osun, The Kayode Fayemi against Segun Oni in Ekiti State took more than two years to conclude and in the case of Ekiti State between Segun Oni and Kayode Fayemi was concluded after a tribunal ordered re-run and another round of litigation before it was concluded.
He said the precedence is not to create a vacuum because one’s favourite candidate lost an election.
He urged all Nigerians to be patient with the incoming administration to be able to get the benefits of the governnace which according to him will be a process and not an overnight success.
He also called on the incoming administration to go for what he described as low hanging fruits that can be easily plucked and create quick wins that will have an instant effect on the population.
He urged the incoming President to dis-aggregate his policy document tagged Renewed Hope to ensure that Nigerians are able to get the benefits inherent in it.
According to him the incoming President will get a muh clearer picture of what awaits him in office on his first day in ofice as President after swearing in necessitating the need to tow the path of patience in this very critical times.
He said the outgoing administration is just working on transition with the team of the incoming adminsitration.
He backed the move by the incoming President to take another look at the Oronsaye report to create a more efficient Public Service and also trim cost from the current situation of a humongous number of Ministeries, Departments and Agencies.
He said the antecedent of the incoming President gives him hope that a lot of good things will be done especially to ensure that Nigerians get quick benefits that will keep them onside during his initial period.
According to Mr Ekundayo, the incoming administration needs to address issues of leakages in the Oil sector,especially the refineries that have not been productive but are still getting huge amount of money allocated to them as running costs.
He said blockng revenue leakages will lead to a massive increase in the nations’ revenue profile.
He also urged the incoming President to refrain from taking charge of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources but to appoint someone who is capable, credible and ready to take tough decisions.
