Festus Keyamo, popular Nigerian lawyer on Wednesday said that President Muhammadu Buhari did not promise to do anything within 100 days in office.
Speaking to DAILY TRUST, Keyamo said that although his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), may have done so, Buhari personally did not make any 100-day promise.
''On whether he promised anything within 100 days or not, I was at Chatham House with him when he went to London. I was there with him when he was asked the question about 100 days and he said he would never commit himself to 100 days. He just said he knows that there is a lot for him to be done'', Keyamo said.
''If you look at it critically, the first thing he has achieved is that he has raised the consciousness about the fight against corruption. No matter how you look at it, we are talking about corruption now. We are talking about the war against corruption.
''Before, there was even no debate at all, there was nothing to talk about before because there was no war going on. But now there is a war going on. So, that’s the first thing he has achieved, every body is now conscious again about the anti-corruption crusade. The second thing is that the President has taken security as his priority in the last few days, he has taken security as his priority from the day he was sworn-in, shuttling from one country to another trying to form an alliance with the neighboring countries against the insurgents. So that alone is a clear intention he has shown to give security a priority''.
