#PMB365Days: Change, In Dire Need Of Speed! By Ogundana Michael Rotimi

I find it increasingly difficult to write about the 1st year anniversary of President Buhari`s administration, not because I care less about what becomes of his administration, but I am suspicious of how much I have begun to rage against what he has and has not done. I see reactions in some people around me, this same feeling about him.
There are lots of articles - different groups and individuals with divergent opinions and impressions about his 1st year in office. Various polls have rated him in different areas, but the fact is, his first-year scorecard seems below expectation considering the hype in which the administration sold itself prior to its election.
The Buhari`s administration has come under pressure from various quarters- with support here and hostility there; some saying he has done really well while others complained bitterly about how terrible his administration is. Friends are torn apart in the debate; comrades are not left out, while critics joined with the hashtag #PMB365WastedDays. But make no mistakes; whether you are for Buhari or against him, whether you believe he has a good scorecard or a terrible one- one thing is common, this administration lacks speed.
