The goodies promised by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will begin to manifest soon, Presidential Spokesman Femi Adesina said yesterday.
Speaking yesterday on Channels television Programme Politics Today, he said governance is not a sprint but a marathon, saying those who now crtiticise the president will be his praise-singers when they see his performance in the next three years.
“It is a four years mandate. We still have 36 months to go. I just pray that those who have been so critical, so cynical will be humble enough to eat their words when the goodies start coming,” he said
He said the economic retreat held last week by the National Economic Council, was not held because Professor Wole Soyinka called for an economic summit.
“Professor Soyinka asked for an economic summit. But what happened was not what he asked for. Because before Prof Soyinka asked for the economic summit, the National Economic Council had decided to hold what happened.
“Don’t forget that the President himself at an interview in Qatar said yes, if the people want to sit down and hold a summit, the government is not averse to it. But what happened last week was not what Prof Soyinka canvassed. The National Economic Council, had decided to hold that retreat before Prof Soyinka spoke.
“To the best of my knowledge, it was fruitful. I was there at the opening ceremony. I guess a report is going to come out after that report, we will be able to judge.”
