A former Minister of Information,
Prince Tony Momoh has explained why he asked Nigerians to stone the President
Muhammadu Buhari-led government if he failed to perform.
Momoh had during the build up to
the 2015 general elections called on Nigerians to stone the APC government if
they don’t leave up to expectations.
Speaking with The Sun, the former
minister said Nigerians were already stoning the president despite his monumental
achievements.
He said, “We are in a democracy.
As Minister of Information, I gave Nigerians information; one, to satisfy your
need for information; secondly, to give you the information to do what you like
to do with it.
“So, people who are saying that
APC has done nothing have a right through the information they have to achieve
the aims they want, but that does not reduce from the fact that objectively,
APC has done something.
“Whatever happens, I said stone
us if we don’t perform, but some people are stoning us, not that we didn’t
perform, but because they are in opposition and cannot appreciate that we are
preforming. In the area of security, nobody would say that we have not tried.
“Nobody will say that the
challenges we have in the Northeast, Middle Belt, South-south, Southeast,
Southwest and even in the Northwest, are not being attended to. In the area of
agriculture, nobody can say that we have not attended to eating what we grow,
and growing what we want to eat. We came out of recession. There are a lot of
things we have done.”
