PDP’s Call For Buhari’s Resignation ‘painful’ — Lai Mohammed
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says the call for resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the economy is “preposterous”.
The minister said this on Friday in Abuja at a forum with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
Mr. Mohammed said “it is very painful in a situation where the armed robber is now the one sympathising with the victim.
“I read in the dailies that the PDP said that the president must resign because of the economy.
“While we are not going to indulge in blame game, I think we should also be honest enough to admit that we will not have been where we are today if they had done what they ought to do.
“For the party to ask the president to resign is just a big joke.”
The minister said though the government was not interested in blame game, it was important to set the records straight.
He said that “agree that Nigeria is not the only country hit by the recession and crash in price of crude, but other countries made savings.
“Saudi Arabia today has about 600 billion dollars in reserve and this is by planning and saving for the future which the past administration failed to do during surplus.
“This is not about blaming other administration, but we believe that one should be honest when criticising.”
Mr. Mohammed assured that the Federal Government would do everything possible to bring the country out of the economic situation.
The PDP new Media Director, Deji Adeyanju, had in a statement in Abuja, asked the president to resign “for destroying” the economy.
Mr. Adeyanju was reacting to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) issued on Wednesday which stated that Nigeria was in recession.
