bares his mind on recent happenings in the country.
Excerpts:
By Chris Ochayi
What is your reaction to the budget, of N6.08 trillion
presented by the President before the National Assembly?
The budget presented by President Buhari to the National
Assembly does not make sufficient meaning to people like
us. On what basis did the budget of N6.08trillion come
about? Buhari told us that he met an empty treasury, so
from what is he basing the budget of N6.08 trillion?
Why is Lai Mohammed crying everyday that Jonathan did
this, Jonathan did that? We were aware that Jonathan did
this, Jonathan did that and that was why when they called
for a change. Nigerians voted for change. But today they
keep on hammering on Jonathan and PDP. I think if they
don’t have anything to do, if their agenda is not strong
enough, we need to address certain issues with regards to
Buhari and the APC.
I do not see to which extent this budget will not create
additional problem, additional suffering to Nigerian people.
Additional problem
But I want to tell you the fact, it is clear that General Buhari
who knows nothing about the economy, has no economic
team that can address fundamentally the issue of the
enormous economic situation in Nigeria.
He has no economic team?
He has no economic team. First he has no knowledge of
economy at all and secondly he has no sound economic
team that can fundamentally address the economic
situation of Nigeria, else they will take us backward and it
will be dangerous and it will terrible.
What is your stance on the fight against corruption?
And the corruption, the fighting of corruption by Buhari and
the APC is discriminatory, it is sectional, it is selective and it
is unguided because what is the difference between the
ways Obasanjo fought corruption, Jonathan fought
corruption and Buhari is fighting corruption. In Buhari’s own,
the situation is worse because he is fighting them either you
didn’t support him or you jailed him when he was in the
military or you intercepted him when he was in the military.
