– Pat Utomi blames President Muhammadu Buhari

– The Professor criticized the president for saying he would not devalue the Naira

– He says the country is paying for sins it committed by not saving

Professor Pat Utomi has lashed at President Muhammadu Buhari for the statement he made in Kenya that he would not devalue the Naira.

The falling price of crude oil in the international market has weakened the Naira against the dollar thereby affecting the economy of the country. The president who was in Kenya for three days said he was yet to be persuaded that Nigeria and its people will receive any noticeable benefit from an official devaluation of the currency.

Utomi however claimed the president has no knowledge of the economy and should allow those who do speak on the matter.


Utomi spoke exclusively to naij.com on Monday at the inauguration conference of the Ibadan School of Government and Public Policy on Monday, February 1. Asked about the current economic situation, Utomi said Nigeria was paying for its sin as the country failed to do what it should have done.

“The economic situation is a very big issue and there are many problems that have converged. We are just paying for our sins. We are paying for not having done what we should have done. Who gets a windfall for a very long time? Oil is a very volatile commodity…we had a big boom but we squandered everything.”

The professor said the country should have saved when it had surplus but it didn’t.

“We need a disciplined and focused political leadership at this time. Unfortunately, I don’t think we are quite there.”

He said the president’s statement in Kenya that he would not devalue the Naira has already created more problem for Nigeria.

“Somebody like him should not be talking about such things. Keep quiet…he has created a major problem for the Nigerian economy by that statement.

The president’s economic policies have been criticised lately with the Financial Times UK describing them as the‘height of foolishness’.

Well, the topic on which he is speaking on is one of the things he knows best.

Buhari is a product of tribal sentiment we have in this country!

This man is not fit to be a local government chairman,but here we are having him as president.

yes ,just like NOI alsoe knew about the economy,which she helped ruin....phd is differed from politics

D problem of Nigeria is a very bbiiiigg problem, wit his big nose. If we need a focused president, contest and win nw.

Even if Pat shld tell the president to go kill himself, I knw he's got reasons. He's pained and embittered. With all his education, he has always struggled to become the president.

That being said...he mustn't blame us when his kinsmen has refused to vote for am

WAILERS ANONYMOUS, TICKETS SOLDOUT!!!!!

Over the past couple of days the "Wailees" have been spotted buying the Wailer's Ticket even at a high Premium.

Could this be the onset of the change? the frenzy, gusto segregation n all that noticeable during the elections are over , and we are seeing a more balanced and "egalitarian" society, with wailers and wailees being indistinguishable.

The coming Months will prove to be very interesting.
