Sincerely, they are no angels in government but there is a big difference between what was and what is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe system was bad when this government came on board in 2015. And at the time we came virtually all sectors of the economy had broken down; (there were) serious security breaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can testify that a lot has been done by this government in that area to stem the tide of insecurity. When I was in the Senate, I happened to be a member of the committee on defence; we visited the North East and virtually everything was bad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew what was going on in the North East. Frankly, about half of that place was taken over by Boko Haram. Today, Boko Haram has been seriously degraded. Of course, they strike from time to time which is normal even in Iraq, Egypt and so on. Boko Haram can never ever operate with immunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat the military is doing is now is a mopping up of pressure. Banditry, robbery, and kidnappings are pains of democratic transition. The offences against these vices are very strong.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are outside the country and you hear people talk about Nigeria, you will think it is a place where life is nasty, brutish, and short \u2013 where you cannot do business. But when you get into the country, look at the rich opportunities that the country offer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact is that those who are doing business here also smile to the bank. If you like, do a programme on power beginning from 1999 when this country returned to participatory democracy to presidential democracy, so much has been put into the power sector and yet the result was very appalling until 2015 when this administration got to power.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI say it on the bases of my own experience as one of the founders of the PDP. I know that government of the day decided to add 60, 000 megawatts of power to the national grid at the end of 2007. At the end of the day, I don\u2019t know what the whole thing ballooned to N16 billion and nothing to show for it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>              &#13;\n                    <\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photo of George Akume and President Buhari Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, George Akume, has stated that anybody who criticizes the current administration is ungodly because there is a huge difference between what was and what is currently witnessed.
