The Minister for Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said former President Goodluck Johnathan only conceded defeat after the 2015 elections because he knew the nation would witness economic recession soon. Mr Jonathan, before the announcement of the final results, in a move that shocked many political pundits, conceded defeat to the current president, Muhamadu Buhari, after a keenly contested polls. That was the first time an incumbent would be losing the top seat (and conceding victory) to an opposition party in Nigeria. Mr Jonathan has been celebrated globally for his action, which many believe saved the country from political turmoil. The economy plunged into recession shortly after in 2015. The recession raged in 2016 and through late 2017 when the nation then emerged from it. However, Mr Fashola, a former governor of Lagos State, said on Thursday at a South-west town hall meeting that Mr Jonathan only relinquished power because he wanted to avoid being at the helm of affairs during the recession. The meeting was organised by the Minister for Information, Lai Mohammed, and held at the Emeritus Professor Theophilus Ogunlesi Hall, opposite University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State. Mr Fashola at the meeting also said the Goodluck government not only plunged the nation into recession but pushed it into debts. ”What was left behind were massive debts owed to contractors who had not been paid for three to five years and who had laid off thousands of workers and shut down equipment and plants. ”That was one of the reasons why the economy first went into, and, I suspect, one of the reasons they (Goodluck administration) quickly conceded defeat,” Mr Fashola said. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/292657-jonathan-accepted-defeat-in-2015-due-to-imminent-recession-fashola.html 26 Likes 5 Shares

So if he had won, he would have given it to Buhari? Or will the obvious coming recession disappear? Or are you codedly telling us that Buhari won't accept defeat? I thought they said this guy is a Lawyer? Hmmm His utterances of recent are not in synch with that claim. Lawyers are brilliant people. 357 Likes 23 Shares |

zombieTRACKER: Okonjo-Iweala warns of economic recession Okonjo saw the numbers far back in 2012 and told us to get ready for recession. EXCLUSIVE: Okonjo-Iweala opens up, says Nigeria economy in danger Okonjo saw the numbers and screamed danger back in 2013 FG introduces austerity measures ON NOVEMBER 17, 20147:54 AM Okonjo and Jona declared austerity measures in 2014 when oil was selling for $75/barrel. We thank God she was not in charge when oil dropped down to $27/barrel. Bottom line, Fashola was factual and right on the money, the economy was on life support between 2012 to 2015 when Nigerians kicked Jona out of office, in fact, he borrowed hundreds of billions to pay workers salary till his last month in office. 38 Likes 7 Shares |
