Governor of Cross River State, Ben Ayade has disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari has been under tremendous pressure as a result of exploitative, treacherous and double-dealing antics of his very close allies and aides.
Ayade stated this while appearing on an AIT programme, Politics Today, Thursday night.
The governor, who took time to address political questions ahead of the President’s visit to his State to commission some projects, said Nigeria is a very complex country, with some funny characters who could disappoint their principals.
According to him: “The system we have, even if you bring a saint, the best hand to run it, he will still have problems. Nigeria needs a strategic, long term plan.
“We need to change the political kinetics, focus on our local needs and customize the system to our Afrocentric philosophy. If we continue to depend on the so-called sophisticated, imported democratic pattern system, the majority will always take it, whereas they may not necessarily be the best sometimes.

“We must reduce the amount of politics in our economy. We need courageous leadership. We need new orientation, new direction and new belief to emphasise hope for the Black race.”
