Junaid Mohammed tells Buhari: Stop deceiving Nigerians, you have no economic policy

Second Republic lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed has faulted the comment credited to the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, that Nigeria’s economy under President Muhammadu Buhari is on the right track.


Speaking yesterday, Junaid said both the President and his Minister
should stop deceiving Nigerians, stressing that the current administration has no economic policy.

“As far as I am concerned, President Buhari and Lai Mohammed are paying lip service to the economy by telling Nigerians they have a policy. Today, I cannot see anything and several Nigerians cannot see any policy in place.

“So, why should Nigerians support this so called policy that they do not know and why should they believe Buhari and Lai Mohammed?

“They talk about diversifying the economy but I can tell you that the same fertilizer I bought for N4,000 last year is now N9,000 this year. If this is what they call diversification, then they are talking nonsense. When there is no insecticide and no better harvest, what are they diversifying the economy to.

“I am not persuaded by that lie by Lai Mohammed.”
