Media Bill: Yakasai Throws Weight Behind Press Regulation

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Independence Day nationwide broadcast has been followed by myriads of react

Buhari had in a 7am nationwide broadcast to mark Nigeria at 59, addressed Nigerians on issues and efforts being made by his administration.

Reacting, second Republic politician, Tanko Yakasai said Nigerians have not seen the president’s administration fulfiling any of it’s promises despite that it was given everything it needed on assumption of duty.

Yakasai who featured on Channels Television insisted that nothing has changed with the way the country was currently being governed by the All Progressives Congress, APC.

He further noted that the Buhari-led administration has performed low since taking over in 2015, adding that the mistake made by Nigerians was not asking the APC-led administration what change it would bring.

He said: “Almost five years after the APC rule, nothing has changed.

“But our mistake is that when we decided to support APC on their change slogan, we did not ask them ‘what will it cost you the change that you are talking about?’.

“We kept quiet, we supported them, we gave them almost everything they wanted; now after taking over power, we didn’t see any change.”
