The \u00a0minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed \u00a0has explained why the President Muhammadu \u00a0Buhari’s administration cannot fulfil the ” Change” promises sold during campaign<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0According to him, since the \u00a0Buhari\u2019s campaign promises were based on $100 per barrel oil, so current realities will make the government fall short of its promises.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/div>\n
However, contrary to Mohammed\u2019s claims, the All Progressives Congress (APC) kicked of its full presidential campaign in November 2014, when oil sold at $79 per barrel. In February 2015, while APC was still campaigning, oil sold for $54 a barrel.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u201cWe are in a completely different situation from that which we envisaged. We did not in our wildest dreams think that the price of crude will crash from about $100 to $30,\u201d the minister said on Channels TV politics today.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is only a challenge; we have faced similar things before. One of the major economic focus is to ensure that by the end of this year, we would have achieved import substitution in many sectors.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0\u201cWhen you campaign, you say you\u2019ll do A, B, C, but when you win elections, you\u2019ll priotise. We were elected for a four-year period, not for one year. Things, we hope, will not be bad all through these four years.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are still faithful to those promises, but when we were campaigning, the price of crude was $100 a barrel. Today, its $30 a barrel, so definitely, we would have to downsize some of the things we intended to do, or prioritize them.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0The minister, who claimed he does not speak for the All Progressives Congress but for the government of the day, said Buhari\u2019s anti-graft war has not been one-sided. He said corruption exists in every party.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt would be wrong of me to start mentioning names of members of party A or party B that have been accused of corruption. But if you pay more attention, and see those who are coming and going out of court, you will know which parties they belong to. \u201cOne thing is clear, corruption in Nigeria cuts across religion, cuts across ethnicity; cuts across political parties. Having said this, we do not micromanage anti-graft agencies,\u201d Mohammed said. \u201cI am government and I can tell you authoritatively that this government does not tell EFCC who to arrest and who not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
