One of APC’s national leaders, Ahmed Bola Tinubu has said it is a norm all over the world for a newly elected president to take at least 100 days for honeymoon so he can strategize on ways of tackling the nation’s problems. Tinubu said this today when he visited the president in Aso Rock. He told State correspondents that the change they promised the citizens of Nigeria will be achieved, but they need to give the President time to ‘think’. Hear him;
“It is an international norm all over the world; there is a honeymoon period, at least minimum of 100 days honeymoon.
“Or you won’t allow honeymoon at all? You said change is not coming. Change is not by magic, it is driven by the people, the spirit and the character and the planning.
“You see, we have had so much problem in this country in the past because we ran into policy blind folded without adequate and effective planning. You don’t have results unless you plan well.
“The time it takes you to plan, examine, rejig, re-evaluate is more important than the time you just rush into taking action because you are either being sentimental, being emotional and being driven by other forces that are not expected. There must be time to plan, to review and even listen to people.”
“Even in 100 meters race, there is a time to say on your mark, set, ready, go.
“So you don’t even want a time to be on your mark, set and go?,” queried the former Governor.
