'THEY WOULDN'T HAVE THE DISCIPLINE TO MANAGE THE ECONOMY' - MINISTER CENSURES JONATHAN'S ADMINISTRATION

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed

Nigeria’s Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed says the country’s frail economy may have collapsed if any other party had won the 2015 elections including Former President Goodluck Jonathan’s party, PDP.

The minister made the remarks in Kano on Friday during a courtesy visit to Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, shortly before the commencement of the Hausa language town hall meeting in the ancient city.

He said the emergence of Buhari as president in 2015 saved the country’s economy from imminent collapse due to mismanagement and unbridled corruption.

“For the fact that God loves this country, if any other political party had won the election, there would have been no economy to talk about.

“They wouldn’t have the courage or discipline to manage the economy,” he said.

Mohammed said through prudent management of resources and the introduction of creative ideas to block leakages, the president was gradually reviving the economy.

He assured Nigerians that there was indeed light at the end of the tunnel.

“This government more than any government, has been working very hard because this is one government that genuinely believes in the people.

“It is one government that really cares for the poorest of the poor.

“For the first time, we have a president whose integrity is actually driving the country,” he said.

He appealed to Nigerians to be patient as the change they voted for would be gradual, noting that the past one year had been spent in laying a solid foundation for the country.

He said the idea of the town hall meetings was to communicate directly with the people and also feel their pulse on government policies and programmes.

“The idea of the town hall meeting came when we realized that our message was not getting down to the people.

“When we issue a press release or we have a press conference, it is so watered down, it’s sifted and everybody takes his story from his or her own angle.

“So we decided that it’s better we address the people directly,” he said.
