Fani Kayode, Fayose and Anenih react to Pres. Buhari’s Inaugural Speech

Some Nigerians yesterday reacted to the President
Muhammadu Buhari’s inaugural speech where he said:
"I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody.A few
people have privately voiced fears that on coming back
to office I shall go after them. These fears are
groundless. There will be no paying off old scores. The
past is prologue"
One of them was Former Minister and PDP presidential
campaign chairman, Fani-Kayode who said:
‘’I believe his part of non vendetta will be true, all
Nigerians should join hands to see Nigeria move
forward. “I believe it was a promising speech and
sincerely hope that he is true to what he has said
especially on the issue that he will not be on a
vendetta mission. I hope he is saying the right thing;
hope his words will be proved to be truth. “It is
incumbent upon all of us as politicians to ensure that
the next four years go on smoothly. I trust that all will
be well and the country will move forward.”
According to the statement issued by the governor’s Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, The Governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose, said:
“The content of the President’s speech showed a
man who is desirous of making a success of his
administration.Nigerians, including those who voted
and did not vote for President Buhari were eagerly
waiting for his inaugural speech.
The speech, if followed in practice, shows that he is
ready to govern Nigeria and it is a sign that the
president is ready to live above board and lead a
government that accommodates all.
“It is my prayer that the Almighty Allah will grant our
president the courage and wherewithal to make a
success of his administration and further deepen
democratic governance, especially in a
confederation like Nigeria, by sustaining rule of law,”
In regards to former President Jonathan, he said:
“With what Dr. Goodluck Jonathan did, history will
never forget him as the man who laid an enduring
foundation for democracy in Nigeria.”
Another reaction was from the Pioneer National Woman leader
of the PDP and former Minister of Women Affairs and delegate
to the 2014 National Conference Iyom Josephine Anenih.
She said: “I like President Muhamadu Buhari’s speech.
He was very kind to former President Jonathan by
acknowledging the role he played in keeping Nigeria
one and united.
His avowed blueprint when implemented will definitely
spell a positive Change for this country. His speech
was very states manly. Very reassuring to the nation.
