\nfederal government that Nigeria was out of economic recession, saying
\n\u201cThe reality is that Nigerians are suffering and dying, with foods and
\ndrugs out of their reach and no among of economic statistics will make
\nmeaning to people who cannot afford to eat once daily.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and
\nNew Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said \u201cClaiming that Nigeria
\nis out of economic recession without any corresponding effect on the
\nliving condition of the people is just like they said Boko Haram had
\nbeen defeated and over 400 people were killed by the insurgents in the
\nlast five months.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIs it not funny that the same federal government that declared public
\nholiday forgot that there would be a\u00a0Tuesday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0after the public holiday

\nreality is that President Muhammadu Buhari does not have the required
\nmental capacity and strength to rule Nigeria and I maintain that he
\nshould consider his health as well as the overall interests of Nigeria
\nand resign.\u201d<\/p>\n
\ngovernment, Governor Fayose asked; \u201cIf Nigeria is indeed out of
\neconomic recession, has price of foodstuffs like rice reduced to N7,
\n000 per bag that it was when Buhari took over power? Is dollar now
\nN197 to $1? Is petrol now back to N87 per litre that Buhari met it in
\nMay 2015? Are Nigerians now feeding comfortably, even if it is once in
\na day?<\/p>\n
\nfederation account to be able to meet their obligations, especially
\npayment of salary?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBuhari led APC to deceive Nigerians ahead of the 2019 elections.<\/p>\n
\n$28.6 billion by May 2015 that President Buhari took over power
\ndeclined steadily to $23.89 billion by the last quarter of 2016. It
\nwas in 2016 that Nigeria slipped into recession, owing to the bad
\neconomic policies and repressive actions of President Buhari<\/p>\n
\nand propaganda and I wonder why the government can’t be truthful for
\nonce.<\/p>\n
\nhave missed it because Nigerians can no longer be received by the APC
\nlying government.<\/p>\n
\nGod intervention in the affairs of the country,\u201d the governor
\nconcluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
