Reno Omokri Reacts To Fashola's Statement On Power/economy Under Jonathan by stephanie11: 10:20am On Feb 02, 2018
@POLITICSNGR

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has reacted to the minister of power, Raji Fashola's recent statement that Nigeria 'had less power under Jonathan but had a growing economy'.

Fashola on Thursday at a civil society engagement workshop on the Power Sector Recovery Programme in Abuja said;

“We hear all our so-called experts who say (non-availability of) power is why the economy of Nigeria is not growing. That is not factual and it is not correct. At the time when we had less power in 2013 and 2014, the economy of this country was growing at seven per cent per annum. We had less power then than we have now, but the economy was growing.”

Omokri, in a statement on Friday, said that the nation's information minister, Lai Mohammed and President Buhari owed ex-president, Goodluck Jonathan an apology. He wrote;

"At various occasions since coming to power on May 29, 2015, both President Muhammadu Buhari and his lying parrot, Lai Mohammed, have attempted to sell the false narrative that the Jonathan administration and the Peoples Democratic Party, destroyed Nigeria’s economy and handed over a collapsed polity and are the reason for the current comatose condition of the nation’s fiscal and financial systems.

For instance, on the 14th of August, 2017, President Buhari, speaking through his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said:

“With due respects to the former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, these are the facts about the economy you left behind, in case you have forgotten.I hope this will help to erase the wrong statement credited to you at your party, the PDP Convention at the Eagle Square last weekend that you handed to President Buhari a robustly healthy economy.

Let me start by reasserting an obvious statement, which is that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was handed an economy ravaged by years of mismanagement and corruption.”

Again, lying Lai Mohammed had also as recently as the 26th of January 2018, in an interview with the Sun Newspaper, said as follows:

“I think it will be tragedy for this country for PDP to come back because they have not even apologised to the nation for how they had destroyed our economy, destroyed our infrastructure, destroyed our quality, and so far from their campaign, ask them how they will do it better when they get there.”

However, in keeping with the principle that no matter how far and fast falsehood has traveled, it must eventually be overtaken by truth, Babatunde Raji Fashola, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, has exposed both his boss, President Buhari, and his colleague, Lying Lai Mohammed, as liars who will say anything, no matter how untrue, to cling to power and demonize former President Jonathan and the PDP.

Speaking on February 1, 2018 at a civil society engagement workshop on the Power Sector Recovery Programme in Abuja, Fashola in trying to defend himself from allegations of ineptitude as regards the epileptic power supply in the country, ended up vindicating both Dr. Goodluck Jonathan and the PDP, albeit unintentionally.

At that event, Mr. Fashola said:

“We hear all our so-called experts who say (non-availability of) power is why the economy of Nigeria is not growing. That is not factual and it is not correct. At the time when we had less power in 2013 and 2014, the economy of this country was growing at seven per cent per annum.
We had less power then than we have now, but the economy was growing.”

Nigerians can now see that Mr. Fashola, in a Freudian slip, was made by God, to expose the truth that his boss, his party and his colleagues have been trying to suppress for the past three years, namely that former President Jonathan developed and grew Nigeria’s economy at an unprecedented and consistent growth rate of over 6% per annum and handed over a thriving economy that was projected by CNNMoney to be the third fastest growing economy in the world when Dr. Jonathan handed over power to President Buhari.

Unfortunately, due to the ineptitude of the Buhari administration, a booming economy became an economy in recession in just one year under the All Progressive Congress.

And this is not the only recent example of the vindication of former President Jonathan by the Buhari administration.

Only recently, lying Lai Mohammed responded to the letter by former President Olusegun Obasanjo by claiming that the Buhari administration had increased the nation’s foreign reserve from the $24 billion it met it to $40 billion.

The question for Lai Mohammed is this: From who did Buhari inherit the $24 billion? From ghosts? From Killer Fulani herdsmen?

In light of the vindicating statements by Raji Fashola, I hereby call on both President Muhammadu Buhari and lying Lai Mohammed to tender an unreserved apology to former President Jonathan sad the PDP and to henceforth commit to returning Nigeria’s economy at least to the state that they met it when Dr. Jonathan handed over power to them on May 28, 2015."

Fellow Nigerians to return our beloved country back to the path of growth and prosperity and to secure the future of our unborn generation, we must correct that mistake in aso rock. Inec counts votes not prayer points but the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available dynamic in its working, elijah used this kind of prayer to change an entire nation. So while you get your pvcs ready never forget the place of fasting and prayer whether you are Muslim, Christian or traditionalist

Mr Omokri must have woken up drunk again before penning down these silly accusations. Where in Lai Mohammed's letter did he say Buhari inherited $24 billion as reserves from GEJ?.... Below is the extract from Lai's letter:

"Foreign Reserves have peaked at $40b, the highest level in about four years, and up from $24 billion just a year ago, even though when we came in, the price of oil had crashed woefully."

So how exactly on earth did a well educated Mr Reno come to his silly and deliberately dubious interpretation above?... The hungry pastor deliberately lying in a bid to accuse another of lying, all because he understands how gullible his audience is.

Correct. What we had under Jonathan was excess crude earning that was shared into the system to expand and help give the illusion of a growing economy.

All these info can easily be extracted from a simple google search. Politicians like Reno knows majority of Nigerians are too nonchalant to independently verify things, that's why they churn out false figures and statistics at will cos they know people are gullible.

I can help you a bit. As at July 2014 (just before oil prices crashed), the reserves was about $39B. As oil prices started dropping, the reserves dropped progressively to about $28.6B on the 29th May 2015, and of course after handover, it kept dropping (as oil prices kept dropping) till it reached its lowest of $23.95B in Oct 2016. Since then, things picked up and the reserves have been rallying upwards and has just reached its highest point in the last 4 years (> $40B).

And by the way, the use of the word 'zero' is figurative; a family man with 5 kids who just loses his job and has only N10k in his account can be said to have 'NO MONEY' to feed his family.

Hope I helped?
