President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday blamed
the previous administrations for the current bad
economic situation in the country.
Buhari while addressing workers during the May
Day celebration at the Eagle Square, Abuja said
the emergence of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, brought an end to the 16 years of squander
by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
According to the President, challenges will always
arise in life, “but how we go about solving them
determines the outcome.”
Buhari said, “Labour remains unarguably an
important element in any policy, programme and
project propagated for national development. This
year’s celebration is significant in a number of
ways.
“First, it marks the first May Day celebration
under the All Progressive Congress, APC,
administration which brought an end to the16
years of national squander, bad governance,
unbridled corruption and economic woes by the
previous administration.
“I make no excuses as this government of the
APC is determined to tackle headlong all socio-
economic ills that have troubled our nation and
we shall evolve solutions to emerging threats to
our well-being and the realization of sustainable
development as well as growth anchored on
equity and social justice.
“The times may be tough, but we Nigerians are
by nature resilient and strong and it is that
nature that propels us to overcome adversities
and still thrive as a nation. There will always be
challenges in the life of a man and what defines
greatness is the way and manner such challenges
are tackled and overcome. I assure you, great
Nigerian workers that this administration is able
and willing to constructively handle the
challenges.”
