The minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has debunked reports that while appearing on a radio show on Saturday, he claimed the Nigerian economy had gone out of control of the current administration led by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The minister was reported to have said the situation was as a result of the global economic meltdown having a negative spiral effect on the economy. He was also said to have explained on the show that the situation was so bad because Nigeria cannot determine the price of crude or gas.

In reaction to the reports of the minister’s claims, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) expressed his disappointment Sunday morning on Twitter(see his tweets above)

In a reaction to the reports and criticisms, the minister on Sunday issued a statement through his special assistant, Segun Adeyemi, in which he claimed his words were distorte

The statement reads:

“On Saturday morning, I appeared on a Radio show here in Abuja at which I spoke extensively on the issues affecting our country, especially the economy.”

“To my surprise, my views were twisted and I was reported to have said that the economy of our country is beyond the control of the President.


“This is a gross misrepresentation of what I said. I could not have said our economy is out of the control of our President or the administration he heads. As a matter of fact, this Administration has decided to turn the economic disaster‎ that we inherited to a blessing by diversifying our economy.

“I don’t know the reason behind the gross distortion of my comments on the radio, but whatever the motive is, Nigerians should disregard such distortion and continue to support our President and his Administration to take our country out of the woods.”


The minister maintained that the Buhari administration has decided to turn the economic disaster around by diversifying the economy and called for support of the citizenry in the quest to achieve the government’s aim.

The problem with lies is that u tell more lies trying to cover up previous lies....


Lieing muhammed is living in accordance with his name..

No wonder he has not been talking much these days. I pity mr. Mohammed not, he is part of our present predicaments. He should ask God for forgiveness, at his age and his is still lying? he is forgetting that the tape of the said interview is there and beside, if his media man refutes it, What then did he say?

How will Nigeria stabilize world oil price? We ain't even giant of Africa anymore talk less of world.

I remember one drunkard that said he will stabilize world oil price, and now we don't even have that fuel and light again.

Correction; is Lie Muhamed

Lai Muhammed is just one person i hate soo much in this administration

Everything that comes out of his mouth does more damage to the ecomony
Like niqqa, just shut the fvck up, stop trying to be relevant, nobody is forcing you to say anything
Information is power, you can't just say anything that comes from that ugly brain.

I just hate this man

just as i expected him to come out and deny that report and he didnt disappoint. These people are making this country a laughing stock. Imagine a minister of information of the most popular black nation on earth. It is a big shame if this man and his likes in govt are the best this country can offer.


This very man have proven overtime that he is a certified liar with no dignity.

Comic Ali why??

We go gather find them common sense

Dude stop embarrassing yourself. Stop exposing your **** ffs! The more you type, the more you show how **** you are.

Must you defend them? Even when their failure is visible for even the blind to see. Must you defend? Smh
