At various occasions since coming to power on May 29, 2015, both President Muhammadu Buhari and his lying parrot, Lai Mohammed, have attempted to sell the false narrative that the Jonathan administration and the Peoples Democratic Party, destroyed Nigeria’s economy and handed over a collapsed polity and are the reason for the current comatose condition of the nation’s fiscal and financial systems. For instance, on the 14th of August, 2017, President Buhari, speaking through his spokesman, Garba Shehu, said:
“With due respects to the former
President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, these are the facts about the economy you left
behind, in case you have forgotten. I hope this will help to erase the wrong
statement credited to you at your party, the PDP Convention at the Eagle Square
last weekend that you handed to President Buhari a robustly healthy economy.
Let me start by reasserting an obvious statement, which is that the President
Muhammadu Buhari administration was handed an economy ravaged by years of
mismanagement and corruption.” Again, lying Lai Mohammed had also, as recently
as the 26th of January 2018, in an interview with the Sun Newspaper, said as
follows: “I think it will be tragedy for this country for PDP to come back
because they have not even apologised to the nation for how they had destroyed our
economy, destroyed our infrastructure, destroyed our quality, and so far from
their campaign, ask them how they will do it better when they get there.”
However, in keeping with the principle that no matter how far and fast
falsehood has traveled, it must eventually be overtaken by truth, Babatunde
Raji Fashola, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, has exposed both his
boss, President Buhari, and his colleague, Lying Lai Mohammed, as liars who
will say anything, no matter how untrue, to cling to power and demonize former
President Jonathan and the PDP. Speaking on February 1, 2018 at a civil society
engagement workshop on the Power Sector Recovery Programme in Abuja, Fashola in
trying to defend himself from allegations of ineptitude as regards the epileptic
power supply in the country, ended up vindicating both Dr. Goodluck Jonathan
and the PDP, albeit unintentionally. At that event, Mr. Fashola said: “We hear
all our so-called experts who say (non-availability of) power is why the
economy of Nigeria is not growing. That is not factual and it is not correct.
At the time when we had less power in 2013 and 2014, the economy of this
country was growing at seven per cent per annum. We had less power then than we
have now, but the economy was growing.” Nigerians can now see that Mr. Fashola,
in a Freudian slip, was made by God, to expose the truth that his boss, his
party and his colleagues have been trying to suppress for the past three years,
namely that former President Jonathan developed and grew Nigeria’s economy at
an unprecedented and consistent growth rate of over 6% per annum and handed
over a thriving economy that was projected by CNNMoney to be the third fastest
growing economy in the world when Dr. Jonathan handed over power to President
Buhari. Unfortunately, due to the ineptitude of the Buhari administration, a
booming economy became an economy in recession in just one year under the All
Progressive Congress. And this is not the only recent example of the
vindication of former President Jonathan by the Buhari administration. Only
recently, lying Lai Mohammed responded to the letter by former President
Olusegun Obasanjo by claiming that the Buhari administration had increased the
nation’s foreign reserve from the $24 billion it met it to $40 billion. The
question for Lai Mohammed is this: From who did Buhari inherit the $24 billion?
From ghosts? From Killer Fulani herdsmen? In light of the vindicating
statements by Raji Fashola, I hereby call on both President Muhammadu Buhari
and lying Lai Mohammed to tender an unreserved apology to former President
Jonathan and the PDP and to henceforth commit to returning Nigeria’s economy at
least to the state that they met it when Dr. Jonathan handed over power to them
on May 28, 2015.
