Former Aviation minister, Fani Kayode has lambasted the Buhari led
government for continuously blaming former president,Jonathan for it's
present woes..In a statement ,he accused the APC government of spending
money like a drunken sailor .He said
“The 2016 budget is fueled by insincerity, shrouded in fantasy,
built on tall dreams and spawned by deceit, ignorance and the illusion
of change. It is bloated, unrealistic, expensive, cosmetic and it will
not result in anything good.
“In order to fund part of the budget the government intends to borrow
money and this will throw our country into even greater debt. What a
tragedy this is given the fact that in 2007 Nigeria was debt-free. The
Buhari administration is spending money like a drunken sailor and they
are borrowing as if there is no tomorrow, mortgaging the future of our
nation and our children.''
” We need far more fiscal discipline and seriousness than that if our
government really wishes to improve the economy and better the lives of
ordinary people.
“Meanwhile the Federal Government has said that President Goodluck
Jonathan is responsible for today’s long fuel queues even though he left
office 7 months ago.
” They seem to have forgotten that in 2012 it was their group, led by
Bola Tinubu, Nasir El Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi and President Buhari
himself that aggressively opposed deregulation and almost brought the
whole country to a standstill with protests and riots all over the place
in their efforts to prevent the government from removing the oil
subsidy.
“Had it not been for their pettiness, lack of understanding,
shortsightedness and double standards the subsidy would have been
removed three years ago and fuel queues would have been a thing of
history. Sadly they lacked the foresight to appreciate the virtues of
that policy and today they have the nerve to blame Jonathan for the mess
that they themselves essentially created.
“They have been in power for 7 months now: it is time for them to
step up to the plate, start taking responsibility for their own actions,
do a better job and stop blaming Jonathan for their own miserable and
avoidable failures.”
