WARRI—ITSEKIRI leader and All Progressive Congress, APC, chieftain, Dr. Alex Ideh, has urged Nigerians to be patient with President Muhammadu Buhari, who he said was working hard to steady the ship of the Nigerian state.

Appraising the performance of Buhari after more than three months in office, Ideh, in a statement, yesterday, said that the President’s seemingly slow pace but meticulous approach to governance since he assumed office was due to his determination to lay the foundation for ‘’sustainable structures for good, transparent and people-oriented governance.”

Ideh, a former commissioner in Delta State and secretary to the APC National Convention Committee that produced Buhari as the party’s flag bearer, defended the activities and steps taken so far by the three-month old administration of Buhari and called for patience and understanding of Nigerians in rallying support for the President.

“I can assure all Nigerians that the President is actually working out a template for good, transparent and people-oriented governance. Things might appear to be somehow slow on the surface but a lot is going on silently.”
