Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed
has faulted the comment credited to the Minister of Information and Culture,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that Nigeria’s economy under President Muhammadu Buhari is
on the right track.
Speaking yesterday,
Junaid said both the President and his Minister
should stop deceiving Nigerians, stressing that the current administration has no economic policy.
should stop deceiving Nigerians, stressing that the current administration has no economic policy.
Vanguard reports him as
saying, “As far as I am concerned, President Buhari and Lai Mohammed are paying
lip service to the economy by telling Nigerians they have a policy. Today, I
cannot see anything and several Nigerians cannot see any policy in place.
“So, why should Nigerians support this so called policy that
they do not know and why should they believe Buhari and Lai Mohammed?
“They
talk about diversifying the economy but I can tell you that the same fertilizer
I bought for N4,000 last year is now N9,000 this year. If this is what they
call diversification, then they are talking nonsense. When there is no
insecticide and no better harvest, what are they diversifying the economy to.
“I am
not persuaded by that lie by Lai Mohammed.”
