Former aide to ex-President
Goodluck Jonathan on electronic media, Pastor Reno Omokri, has said that
President Muhammadu Buhari and the members of the All Progressives Congress
(APC) are not only shameless but were comfortable with failure.
According to him, Buhari and APC
committed grave misnomer by expressing satisfaction with the state of Nigeria’s
economy which has experienced “a third quarter of negative growth”.
Recall that Buhari had on the
28th August 2017, received almost a two-hour briefing from the Minister of
Budget and National Planning, Senator Udoma Udo Udoma, the Minister of Finance,
Mrs Kemi Adeosun, and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr Godwin
Emefiele after which he declared that he was pleased with the progress being
made on different fronts in the economic sector.
But Omokri disagreed with him,
saying the country’s economy gives no cause for one to be satisfied with.
Omokri, who said Buhari was
ignorant of Presidential etiquette, explained in a statement that: “it is quite
evident that President Buhari has no shame because only a shameless leader
would have declared that he is ‘satisfied with the state of the Nigerian
economy’!
“We are experiencing a third
quarter of negative growth and are World renowned to be in a recession and the
man who should lead us out of it declares to the nation that he is SATISFIED
with the state of our economy!
“That’s just like bringing a
report card of failure back home to your dad and he tells you that he is
satisfied with your performance! No wonder this All Progressive Congress
government of Muhammadu Buhari reduced the cut off marks for admission into
Nigerian universities! They are comfortable with failure.
“How did we get here?
“Our population is growing at
2.9%, by far faster than our economy which grew at -1.5% last year and our
President is ‘satisfied’ with the economy’?
“We have an economy that is the
largest grower of cassava in the whole world yet we still spend over a billion
dollars importing ethanol and industrial starch, both of which can be made from
cassava which is their chief ingredient.
“We have an economy with 10.5
million out of school children with majority of them roaming the streets of
Northern Nigeria with their begging bowls and the man who is tasked with
changing that says he is satisfied with the status quo!
“Do you now see the reason why
the BBC would make him their poster joy for shame!”
