The Senate Minority Leader and member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator Godswill Akpabio has appealed to Nigerians not to blame the current economy woes on the All Progressives Congress, APC, led government.
Addressing journalists in Arochukwu, Abia State, Akpabio said the country’s current economic challenge was a global phenomenon orchestrated by the steady fall in oil prices.

Akpabio who advocated for diversification of the economy said the global economic meltdown is being felt more by Nigerians because the country runs a mono-economy built around oil.

He enjoined the Federal Government to pay attention to other sector of the economy like mining, agricultural and entrepreneurship ventures and as well as foreign direct investment to boost the country’s revenue base.

Akpabio said, “So, what has happened here is that with the massive failure, what we call oil glut in the market, the oil price has reduced below what we expected in the last 20 years. That automatically has affected our economy.

“It has nothing to do with which administration is in power. It has something to do with resources to be able to deliver the dividend of democracy.”

The former Governor while admitting the effect of the harsh economy on the citizenry sued for patience from Nigerians and solicited support for the present administration in the interest of the country.

“The country belongs to all of us and if the country collapses on our heads, it means that we bequeath nothing to our children,” he said.

Make Fayose Catch you...

True confession from the opposition leader!
Wailers who do you people turn to when the people who can stop you guys from wailing is exactly the same people that are making you guys to wail?

They turned to Government Tompolo, they guy Ben Johnson
They heaped their hope on the almighty Shekau, they guy renounced his mission.

I feel its high time the wailers seek the face of Sat Guru Maharaji for spiritual aid.

Nigerians have to blame someone or some systems of government. nature Apc PDP as for me I blame Apc for starting jarhead with corrupt maffias, thy will have used gorilla warfare strategy, than starting big-time war with.........PDP that is in government for 16 years and some of the elites change their tiger spot ,disguised as Apc and eliminating any treat to their families in PDP.




proudly PDP and Democrat

Very good if our politicians can say the truth sometimes not even all the time
The current hardship problems we are facing is definitely not Apc party induced
And we naija are very impatient
Nevertheless the Apc should make haste and improve things

Good one, Akpabio!

I've always liked the man.

Destructive criticism will do us no good at all.

The misguided and ignorant will beg to differ though. They wouldn't mind the country burning down to the ground just so they could say 'I talk am!'...

PDP factional leader talking...

He is afraid of DSS invading the Akwa Ibom Govt house again and harassing the House members. His money in Dubai is also under threat so he has to start zombieing small small.

Since I have no fuel in my car I had to use the last drop in the generator to get to work. Na APC cause am.

Story, so we should blame you rather. Many Nigerians are not gullible and blind, if they are working well, there will be no need to blame them.

Fayose, Ipop youths, and wailers be like ' akpabio why?
