The President Muhammadu Buhari administration is on course in its quest to fulfilling the promises it made to Nigerians, media aide to the President has said.

Femi Adesina was reacting to the allegations by Pastor Tunde Bakare that Buhari’s administration had failed to fulfill its campaign promises.

Pastor Bakare had faulted the government in the areas of security, economy and anti-corruption fight, while addressing a congregation on Sunday at the Latter Rain Assembly in Lagos.

“I believe that this government is on course, is doing what it has promised to do,” Adesina said during his appearance on Channels Television on Sunday.

Responding to comments that the federal government is under any kind of pressure, Adesina said, “If you are talking of performance, yes every government must be under pressure.

“Because it must be seen to fulfil its promises, sure government will be under pressure on that because it must perform but then; pressure in terms of will they vote for us, will they not vote for us? I don’t think so.

“By the time the mandate ends and it needs to be renewed, the onus will be on the electorate whether to give a fresh mandate or not to give. For me, as far as I know, as far as I see, as we move on; I think the government is doing what it promised to do.”

The presidential aide, however, said claims by Bakare that Nigeria was still depending on oil as its major source of revenue were untrue.

He said: “Whether it’s his own opinion or he’s reading something somebody has written, there are always opinions and you can’t say that opinion is the opinion.

“He (Bakare) talked about diversification of the economy – a lot of people will not agree with him that oil is still the only thing driving the Nigerian economy; it’s not true.

“Oil still is very important to us, oil led Nigeria recession when it crashed but it was not only oil that brought Nigeria out of recession. Agriculture contributed in large part, solid minerals contributed in large part, even manufacturing is climbing up in Nigeria.”
