Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, says President Muhammadu Buhari does not have any economic blueprint for the country.

Fayose also described the just concluded National Economic Council (NEC) retreat as mere jamboree and a waste of over N250 million public funds.

“The retreat has further exposed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) government of President Mohammadu Buhari lacked economic blueprint as the president is still talking the way he talked while seeking for votes from Nigerians,” he said.

In a statement released by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka on Friday, the Ekiti governor said: “What solution can the likes of former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr Kayode Fayemi, who as governor plunged the State into unprecedented debt by borrowing money to build governor’s lodge, pavilion and uncompleted civic centre proffer to the economy of Nigeria?”

“It is strange that close to one year after President Buhari was sworn in, he still cannot tell Nigerians one major economic step his government has taken to salvage the economy. He has not taken any key step and there is no economic team. That is strange.”

“I was at the retreat and I can tell Nigerians categorically that it was just a jamboree. It was a waste of over N250 million public fund because most of the resource persons were the same people who ran their States aground.”

“Instead of wasting over N250 million on such a jamboree, it would have been better if the fund is given to those downtrodden Nigerians, who are trading with as little as N5,000.”

For instance, at N10,000 each, N250 million will go round 25,000 pepper sellers whose capital is not more than N5,000 and that would go a long way in boosting their trade. Even most governors, including those of the APC, were not happy with the economic retreat. Almost everything they proposed was opposed by the governors.”

“Also, the president in presenting himself as APC president alone and speaking as if he was still canvassing votes, chose the retreat to tell the 22 states governed by the APC to build 250,000 housing units per annum. The question is which state in the present Nigeria can build 10,000 housing units per year?”

“To me, the Federal Government appears not ready to face reality. The economic retreat sounds like another talk shop retreat and a clear indication that APC and President Buhari did not have an economic blueprint even when it took two months after winning election for the president to assume office.”

This man

A movie, lwkm.

God help us till 2019.

Fayose and the shitless poultry.
You are doing well.
Please continue until Bubu wakes up to be the pilot of Nigerian economy.

I really feel for Ekiti indigenes for having this man as their Governor. Can Fayose tell us his own economic blue print for his state; I was moved to tears the last time I was at Ekiti as I was ashamed and embarrassed to call Ado-ekiti the capital city. Mr Fayose please leave the president alone and focus on ur primary assignment, ekiti people are suffering, the state is stagnant and the economic situation of the state is noting to write home about. Leave opposition work for Olisa Metuh, you are gradually becoming a nuisance.

The person that did Buhari's own is not in Nigeria.
