“There was no discipline anywhere. So, we should stop blaming Buhari; rather, we should blame ourselves and do some self-examination.”

He urged Nigerians to give the president a chance to turn the country around as it was already in shambles before the election.

Meanwhile, President Buhari seems prepared to rescue local governments from the stranglehold of states and their governors so that they can continue to function as the closest to the people as he says he will support any constitutional amendment for that purpose.

The president said this when he receiving the leadership of the Association of Local Governments in Nigeria (ALGON) on Thursday, September 15, 2016, in Abuja.
President Buhari said a constitutional amendment was urgently required to clearly define the relationship among the three tiers of government.
