Abdullahi lauded the president for tackling the key issues, stating: “Remember, he dismissed the so-called quit notice as well as telling the secession agitators that the unity of the country is not negotiable.
“As a statesman and diligent leader, he needs not to say much until he has made wide consultations and been widely briefed on all contentious issues in great details.
“He need not rush to make elaborate speech, even though he is quite in the know of the happenings while on medical vacation.”
Abdulahi stressed that despite the president’s health challenge, the Buhari administration was still purposefully engaged in bringing the country back on the right track.
He stated: “This government is on the path to bring Nigeria back to the path of sanity.
“It was cascading and tumbling down a gradient without control until the All Progressives Congress (APC) came in at the nick of time.
“For instance, by June 30, our reserve was $30.288 billion and by August 16, it went up to $31.551 billion. In other words, the economy has started picking up in quantum.
“APC is just out to right the wrong things or destructions done to the country, to the economy and socio-fabric of this nation in years of Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) rule.
“Senate is no doubt happy with the speech in its entirety.”
