This administration is aware that it wasn’t elected to make excuses’ – Lai Mohammed says

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says the Buhari-led administration is aware it was not elected to make excuses but that the change they promise is a gradual process. According to Mohammed, they will change the misfortunes of the past administration into blessings. Lai said this while speaking ‎with members of the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON) ahead of the one year anniversary of the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led government
‘This administration is aware that it was not elected to make excuses, but to put the nation back on a sound economic footing, ensure the security of lives and property and banish corruption. We have therefore decided to turn the disaster that we inherited into a blessing by diversifying our economy away from the mono-product of oil, leveraging on agriculture, solid minerals as well as culture and tourism, among others. Change is not instant coffee. ‎In the words of Henry David Thoreau, all misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune. Change is no instant coffee, it is a process. We are now laying a solid foundation for our country. The road will be rough, but as the saying goes, the darker the night, the brighter the morning. Our long suffering people will surely smile again.”‎he said
