Buhari is Using His Appointments to Compensate the North For 15yrs of Marginalization – Birmah

Alhaji Dauda Birmah, former Minister of Education has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his loop sided appointment.
Speaking during an interview session with VANGUARD, Birmah said, ”During the 15 years preceding him, the north had been wailing and crying because the area was totally marginalized. Buhari is trying to rectify that marginalization of the north but I am not surprised that some people are complaining”.
Assessing Buhari’s 100 days in office, Birmah said, ”Well, my assessment is that Buhari has come in and he has seen the rot that preceded his coming and he is trying to see how to handle this rot, rot that has happened over a period of 15 years is not something you cure in 100 days or even in a thousand days.
”Buhari has come on a change agenda and he is not expected to behave in a manner in which you will see things as business as usual. He has to change things and he has to fulfill his promise of change to people and he is trying to understand the place and put fundamental changes in place because if you put a very heavy structure on a faulty infrastructure, the building will collapse. So, I commend Buhari for what he is doing and I believe he is doing well and he is going to succeed.
