FORMER governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, has said that he likes the way Nigeria is being run by the Yar’’Adua administration, adding that the rot and decay in the nation cannot be easily undone by the present administration given the space of time of operation.
Chief Ibori made this statement at a briefing with journalists in Lagos on Friday September 25, 2009.
According to him, “I don’t want to hold him responsible for the rot and decay. Things have been left undone for about 13 years. Give him some time. It is still early days. Things can’t be undone in two years. There are saboteurs in government. Nigerians are aggressive, they want action.”
He further added that should the opportunity arise in the next general elections, he would not hesitate to support the reinstatement of the Yar’Adua administration.
“I will back Yar’Adua’s administration if he wants to run and if PDP nominates him in 2011. People don’t know him, he does not speak to the press. That’s not his style. Yar’Adua met things that needed to be re-ordered. Obasanjo did his best. The rule of law and due proces are being bogged down by bureaucracy. He loves things to be done orderly,” he stated.
