Festus Keyamo, the Director, Strategic Communications of President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, has opined why the country recently emerged the headquarters of poor people.

Nigeria, NGPOLITICS recalls overtook India as the nation with the highest number of extremely poor people, a report by Brookings Institution recently showed.

Before now, India used to hold the position with a population of 1.324 billion people as against Nigeria’s 180 million.

According to the report, the number of Nigerians in extreme poverty increases by six people every minute.

“According to our projections, Nigeria has already overtaken India as the country with the largest number of extremely poor in early 2018, and the Democratic Republic of Congo could soon take over the number 2 spot,” the report read.

“At the end of May 2018, our trajectories suggest that Nigeria had about 87 million people in extreme poverty, compared with India’s 73 million. What is more, extreme poverty in Nigeria is growing by six people every minute, while poverty in India continues to fall.

“In fact, by the end of 2018 in Africa as a whole, there will probably be about 3.2 million more people living in extreme poverty than there is today.

“Africans account for about two-thirds of the world’s extreme poor and that If current trends persist, Africa will account for nine-tenths by 2030.”

Critics of President Buhari has severally blamed him. Some of them attributed the hardship currently going on in the currently to his leadership qualities saying a leopard can’t change its spots.

During the military era when he first held sway as the Nigerian leader, the Buhari regime was reportedly characterised by dictatorship, economic meltdown and hardship. Since his return to power democratically as president in 2015 same scenario was playing out again.

Under the watch of Buhari, over 8million Nigerians lost their job since he took over within a duration of 21 months. This is according to statistics released by the National Bureau of Statistics.

Exonerating his principal, Keyamo said Nigeria host majority of the poor people in the world because of the climactic point of bad leadership of past administration.

“The unemployment statistics & the rating of Nigeria as ‘poverty capital of the world’ is certainly NOT a consequence of the last 3 years!,” Keyamo said in a tweet on Saturday.

“It is a culmination of many years of squandermania, waste & corruption witnessed under past govts from which we’re now battling to come out,” he added.

The administration is already known for its blame game since its emergence. When a contretemps occurs they search for whom to blame but takes the glory should positive events materialize.

In the last three years, former president, Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were the ones taking the blame until recently the Buhari administration shifted the blame game to Bukola Saraki, Senate President, when the top lawmaker defected from the All Progressive Congress (APC) to the PDP.

With Keyamo’s new position, it seems the administration is shifting from the Senate President back to the first scapegoat.

Honestly, Buhary is a good man with bad intentions.

The seem to be going back to blame Jonathan...

Sentiment aside buhari should have more people in his economic team to manage the country than his so called media who are more of teletubies and mad people

Buhari is responsible for 90 percent of the poverty Nigerians have experienced since 1984 !!!!!

Let's call a spade a spade.

Handing over an empty account to buhari by a govt that sold crude oil at 145 dollars per barrel when crude oil falls down to 28 dollars to me is a great crime by the past administration.

Oh shut up already!!! What nonsense are U talking about?? Dey met empty account ?? Are U dat dumb? D very first thing dey did was pay billions of dollars as bailout to state governments, was it from their personal wallet dey got it from?? Wen some of una no even begin use una head sef

Butterflyleo:
left him with debt burdens and a severely depleted foreign reserve and also leaving him with 30 bankrupted States who were no longer able to pay salaries.

Now PMB earns far less on oil yet has never borrowed to pay salaries unlike the past administration and has largely paid off most of the debt the other administration left for him even with less.

Oga even U know dat ur sense isn't complete with dis ur statement.. U claim d last administration left states bankrupt?? And PMB paid off most of d debt of d past administration?? If not dat ur sense isn't complete how did someone who u claim earns less pay d number of tranches of bailout to states so far and cleared debts while earning less while accumulating trillions in dollars as debts at d same time?? Seriously d lies some of U tell to make urselves look gud is becoming irritating

I am sure Buhari is Also responsible for you being born a rètard as well or he is also responsible too for your mum getting married to your dad right?

Oil was actually sold at $130 per barrel during the last administration and it dropped to $25 per barrel when buhari came in due to erratic oils supply worldwide.

When the past government could not do anything tangible when oil.prices were $130 pb they are noe hounding buhari to perform magic with oil prices at $25 when he came despite them still being unable to save when the price was high and left him with debt burdens and a severely depleted foreign reserve and also leaving him with 30 bankrupted States who were no longer able to pay salaries.

Now PMB earns far less on oil yet has never borrowed to pay salaries unlike the past administration and has largely paid off most of the debt the other administration left for him even with less.

Imagine GEJ making as much as $398b from crude yet with nothing to show for it and pmb making $94b from crude yet has outperformed GEJ fair and square in all areas.

Only ipobs seem to think otherwise because they are yet to recover from 2015

Religious extremist and potential suicide bombers can never change from their lies.^^^

Where is the violation? Did I insult him? I made observations. English isn't your strong side so stick to wailing

Na only God know how really these people see us.
E no go ever better for Buhari and the people that voted him.

For Jonathan, silence is the best answer for the fools in APC.

Which silence is the best answer when the records are in the public domain

Let him try and deny it and be disgraced.

He knows he totally wrecked our foreign reserve from almost $60b obasanjo left for him to $27b in just 4 years.

GEJ is a thief
