Kwara, Nigeria News 7th September, 2018: Frontline PDP presidential hopeful, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, has accused the APC-led federal government of derailing from the vision of Nigeria’s founding fathers and reducing the nation to an ‘economic doldrum’.

Turaki said under Buhari’s government, no economic team or adviser for the first time in the country’s history. “Today, things are being done intuitively. Today, Nigerians are hungry and angry, prompting them to be impatient and prone to provocation easily” he added.

The presidential aspirant made the accusation on Wednesday when he led his campaign team to meet with the Kwara State governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed at the Government House, Ilorin as part of his nationwide consultations ahead of the PDP presidential primary.

Turaki who noted that the PDP administration of President Goodluck Jonathan left behind a booming private sector, with the economy rated as the number one in Africa and the third fastest growing after China and Qatar on May 28, 2015 lamented that: “Today, we are in economic doldrums. Today, the economy is witnessing disinvestment. No economic team or adviser for the first time in the country’s history. Today, things are being done intuitively. Today, Nigerians are hungry and angry, prompting them to be impatient and prone to provocation easily.”

The former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs lamented further that the country is so divided like never before with the heightened resurgence of ethnic self-determination, besides experiencing profound security problems.

“We cannot continue to run a nation where people feel discriminated against or feel alienated from access to opportunities,” he said further.

“This was not the intention of our founding fathers,” the Senior Advocate of Nigeria pointed out.

“That is why today,” Turaki said, we are looking for someone (leader) who will do things differently to halt the slide and ensure equity, fairness and justice for all.”

Turaki who is known to have a close relationship with the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki who is also in the race, urged Kwarans to ensure that either him or his brother (Bukola) get elected as Nigeria’s President.

Turaki said: “Both of us are well educated and accomplished professionals with vast knowledge. We have a lot of integrity, credibility, character and dynamism. If we look at our pedigree, we are impeccable. Both of us have conviction, fire of patriotism and nationalism. We are both bridge builders and above anything else, we have the fear of God.”
