The Federal Government has claimed that President Muhammadu
Buhari’s administration has out-performed the opposition People’s Democratic
Party, PDP’s government.
Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, made the
claim on Thursday during a town hall meeting to address the vandalism of power
and other infrastructures in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital.
According to the minister, achievements of the PDP only
exist on paper, stressing that they had better opportunities to perform well
during their administration when the country was earning well.
He said, “It is an irony that those who are criticizing us
today performed abysmally in terms of modernizing our infrastructure, even when
they served at a time when our earnings were multiples of what we get today.
“Had they embarked on the kind of infrastructure development
we are currently engaged in, perhaps there would have been no reason for us to
borrow as much as we are doing now.
“For example, in their time, they claimed to have spent
billions of Naira in building infrastructure but, as one can see, their
infrastructure projects were only on paper.
“Today, we are still saddled with looking for resources to
build the same infrastructure for which they claimed to have allocated huge
resources.
“We will not be deterred by the antics of those who believe
they can play politics with everything”.
