Buhari can’t Handle the Economy – Lai Mohammed
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Saturday lamented
that the economic situation in the country has gone completely out of
the control of government as the global economic meltdown is having a
negative spiral effect on it.
He explained that this was so because Nigeria cannot determine the price of crude or gas.
Berating critics of the
administration as mischief makers, he said President Muhamadu Buhari’s
frequent trips abroad, especially to the oil-producing nations, became
imperative because of the urgent need to rally support for the
stability of the global oil prices and also to attract Foreign Direct
Investment FDI into the country.
While noting that stabilizing the prices of crude oil will help prop
up the country’s currency, he stated that the president has been
spending countless times outside the country to find solution to the
crash in oil prices.
The is why the president cannot stay here, he said.
According to him, staying here in Nigeria is like an army general who in
the face of war remains in the bunker.
Mohammed, who made these
statements while fielding questions from a radio station at the weekend
in Abuja, said the fact that the present administration led by Buhari is
still managing to drive the economy is a credit on its side.
