The Minister of Information and Culture,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed has said that he regrets "speaking too much before
the 2015 General Elections."
The minister stated this in Abuja on Thursday while speaking on the
achievements of the All Progressive Congress (APC)-led government at
the Town Hall Meeting tagged "Buharimeter."
“We campaigned on three broad areas, corruption, revamp the economy and security. Have we met our targets? If you ask me, I will say we are on track.
"On insecurity, the most daunting security challenge we faced when we came in was the Boko Haram challenge. Today it had receded and it is not by accident. In the words of the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai, the military is only carrying out mop-up operations in the North East,” he said.
"You all know that it was corruption that prolonged the war against Boko Haram. It was corruption that gave Nigerians darkness instead of light, despite sinking millions of dollars into the sector. The money recovered so far is a tip of the iceberg.
"Over 28,000 ghost workers have been discovered and today, funds that would have found their way into private pockets are now accruing to government courtesy of the TSA. My only sin was speaking too much before the election," he said.
