The Archbishop of Lagos, His Grace Most Rev. Dr. Alfred
Adewale-Martins has berated the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government
over unfulfilled electoral promises made to Nigerians, reports ITRealms.
In his State-of-Nation address to mark his 58th birthday
anniversary, Archbishop Martins noted that two years was enough period for any
serious government to get its bearing right, saying that the masses expected
the present administration to proffer solutions to the country’s challenges,
hence they voted them into office.
He scored the Buhari-led Federal Government low in terms of
performance, despite the enormous challenges they had to contend with. He
however believed that the country’s challenges were not insurmountable where
there was political will, purposeful leadership and determination will excel.
According to him, Nigerians are weary of empty promises, and
still suffering despite several electoral promises because the country’s
leaders have been applying the same old and ineffective drugs for cancerous
growths that required surgery.
Archbishop Martins, while affirming that a buoyant economy is
key to the survival of the nation, equally tasked government not to foreclose
dialogue with Biafra agitators, warning that except issues of marginalization
and lopsided appointments are decisively addressed, such agitations would
continue to grow by the day.
On the health condition President Buhari, Archbishop Martins
prayed God to heal him permanently so that he can resume work and lead the
nation towards the path of recovery, affirming his confidence in the competence
and genuine intent of the President to move the nation forward.

achiever who has performed excellently well since assuming office as the
Metropolitan of the Archdiocese.
