Former Spokesperson of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode has described the 2016 budget as presented by President Muhammadu Buhari to the joint National Assembly as that fueled by insincerity.
According to him, it was ironic that former governor Asiwaju Tinubu; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and Governor Nasir El- Rufai who kicked against deregulation during former President Jonathan, have suddenly become great supporters of deregulation.
In a statement he signed yesterday and made available to Journalists in Abuja, Chief Fani- Kayode who accused Buhari’s administration of spending money like a drunken sailor, alleged that the government was borrowing as if there was no tomorrow.
The former Aviation Minister who noted that the government was mortgaging the future of Nigeria, Nigerians and our children,said, “The 2016 budget is fueled by insincerity, shrouded in fantasy, built on tall dreams and spawned by deceit, ignorance and the illusion of change. It is bloated, unrealistic, expensive, cosmetic and it will not result in anything good.
“In order to fund part of the budget the government intends to borrow money and this will throw our country into even greater debt. What a tragedy this is given the fact that in 2007 Nigeria was debt-free. The Buhari administration is spending money like a drunken sailor and they are borrowing as if there is no tomorrow, mortgaging the future of our nation and our children.
” We need far more fiscal discipline and seriousness than that if our government really wishes to improve the economy and better the lives of ordinary people.
“Meanwhile the Federal Government has said that President Goodluck Jonathan is responsible for today’s long fuel queues even though he left office 7 months ago.
” They seem to have forgotten that in 2012 it was their group, led by Bola Tinubu, Nasir El Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi and President Buhari himself that aggressively opposed deregulation and almost brought the whole country to a standstill with protests and riots all over the place in their efforts to prevent the government from removing the oil subsidy.
“Had it not been for their pettiness, lack of understanding, shortsightedness and double standards the subsidy would have been removed three years ago and fuel queues would have been a thing of history. Sadly they lacked the foresight to appreciate the virtues of that policy and today they have the nerve to blame Jonathan for the mess that they themselves essentially created.
“They have been in power for 7 months now: it is time for them to step up to the plate, start taking responsibility for their own actions, do a better job and stop blaming Jonathan for their own miserable and avoidable failures.” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteThis man keep quiet. You think you can continue to be deceitful. What do u take us for?. Noise maker.
ReplyDeleteWe lyk it lyk dat
ReplyDeleteMr Femi, we all know that the deregulation wouldn't have been in the interest of the masses. So, those who kicked against it, knew the recklessness of the administration you are defending. In a sane society, every player unto the past administration would just have maintained a sealed mouth. We can all see how the money for arms was spent. The deregulation money would have gone the same way. So please, save your write up for your unborn children.

ReplyDeleteUsually when I see your articles, I just move on but on this occasion, I decided to write. Though you have got the right to speak, you write/speak like a paid drunkard. Which is understandable considering your antecedents.
ReplyDeleteIt is a Fabu-lous budget, presented by President Fabu-hari, meant to feed us with lots of Fabus in the coming fiscal year.May God save the Nation from this Fabu-lous government.But as events are unfolding, I enjoin others including Baba Aribisala to keep on enjoying Fabus.
ReplyDeleteWhen paid APC e-rats comments. They send their comments twice or thrice to make it look as if many persons are supporting them. U can only deceive the gullible. This govt is directionless
ReplyDeletePlease someone should help me ask Femi Fani Kayode if that is even his real name. If PMB is spending money like a drunken sailor, how did his former pay master (GEJ) spend money during his 6years of evil reign over 9ja?
