I\u2019m sure you are aware of the performance indicators that the president set out for the ministers, this midterm is a performance assessment on the president himself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, to submit yourself to that performance assessment to a large extent goes to show how development driven the president is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe event did not start today actually, before now, people were asked to review our promises and manifestos to the Nigerian people vis-a-vis our performance so far to see if the president has gotten to the point where he would deserve a second term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened is a party affair and that\u2019s why it\u2019s perfectly normal. You have to be able to decide within the party a direction, then you can come out to say this is what we think.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an expression of organization, beauty, and as a part of what the president has achieved that allowed the members to say we are giving him that opportunity which is obvious to all Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe word delivered means he has concluded the first term, he will be the first person to tell you that there are numbers of things that are yet to be seen. If you ask the question has the president performed? My answer will be a very big capital yes. And where I\u2019m coming from, when the president took the oath of office, the situation and economy around Nigeria was very tight, people were buying naira with naira.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStates that could not pay salaries then, most of them are meeting up to the minimum wage, they are doing projects and most of them are even paying their debts, and all these happened because of increased revenue \u2013 that is because of the president.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a misconception by anybody who wants to see what transpired as an engagement with Nigerians, it was a party affair \u2013 party affair at any given time, you can pass a vote of confidence \u2013 the party must do self introspection.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened is not in any way suggesting to Nigerians that the party has done everything but what happened is our own internal examination before we bring our own external examiners who are the Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have manifestos and things we wanted to do ranging from NELFUND to infrastructure to security and we know what the president has done so far, we looked at the two and arrived at the conclusion that given what we saw and he has done in two years, he deserves another time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
