In a chat with The Guardian, Prince Tony Momoh, a founding member of APC, defended the administration of Pres. Buhari over complaints by a section of Nigerians that the APC-led government has failed to deliver its promised change.
He reportedly explained that many of the challenges weighing heavily on the administration are the result of the monumental “rot we found when we assumed office.” “Stone us,” Momoh said confidently, if within two years the current government fails to reverse the situation, even as he stressed that this government is laying the foundation for a new and better country.
“Nigerians are complaining of bad roads. But what happened to the several billions of money voted for road construction and rehabilitation under the GEJ government? If we complain about security challenges, what happened to the billions of dollars voted to fight insurgency, which some people mismanaged, the same with power and other necessary infrastructure?” he asked.
He also noted that fall in the global oil price is greatly undermining efforts by the Buhari government. According to him, “ask any of the present ministers. Which of the ministries did not incur serious debts under the immediate past administration? It will surprise you to know that there is none. The new ministers are only scraping the bottom of the pots, struggling with the mergre remnants left by their predecessors, including the huge debts incurred.”….
