A former minister of education Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, has tagged President Muhammadu Buhari insensitive and inept in the face of\u00a0 the myriad of problems ordinary Nigerians are facing.<\/p>\n
Nigeria has been camatose for over 6 weeks now owing to acute shortage of fuel, power outages, and growing poverty.<\/p>\n
Shekarau also berated the APC-led federal government for turning a blind eye to the hunger that is ravaging average family in the country.<\/p>\n
But the Presidency has shot back. Spokesman,\u00a0 Garba Shehu, who described the allegations as\u00a0 insulting the intelligence of Nigerians, said they were\u00a0 false an misleading.<\/p>\n
He noted that the \u201caudacity of Shekarau to preach about sensitivity is incredibly amazing, considering the large-scale stealing of public funds by the unseated PDP government at the expense of the welfare of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe greatest insensitivity to the welfare of the people is epic corruption for which the PDP had a notorious and unrivalled record in our recent democratic history of bad governance.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Presidential aide explained that \u201cthe greed of PDP leaders respects no boundaries of decency and rationality, so much that they could illegally steal any funds within their grip or reach, including monies meant for the security of Nigerians and the welfare of soldiers fighting terrorism in the Northeast.\u201d<\/p>\n
The former minister was addressing his supporters at his residence while constituting a 44 man sub-committee saddled with the responsibility of repositioning the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state.<\/p>\n
Shekarau who lamented over the unfortunate poverty level affecting Nigerians said that those promoting the change mantra have now chained the populace with hunger, poverty, illiteracy and embarrassing fuel queues that have become eye sore at our nation\u2019s capital and in all the 36 states of the federation with no end in sight despite all promises.<\/p>\n
He appealed to Nigerians to trust PDP once again and do away with a party that has opportunist in its ranks and file which has turned people\u2019s lives into squalor and misery.<\/p>\n
The two-time governor of Kano State questioned when Nigerians will start enjoying the change they were promised one year after APC took over. He noted that the first quarter of the year has already passed without a working budget for the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
