APC National chairman John Odigie-Oyegun yesterday said during the
election campaigns in 2015, their party knew that things in Nigeria were
bad but never knew how bad it was. Oyegun said this while speaking at a
surprise birthday party held for him by staff of the APC national
secretariat in Abuja yesterday August 12th.
“It has been tough times for the nation. When we were campaigning and it
is necessary to continue to hammer on this part, we were not in
government.
We knew things were very bad, but we did not know
they were as bad as we eventually found them and the revelations that
come out everyday continue to buttress that fact. Nobody ever expected
the price of crude to collapse in the way it has done and one can only
repeat what Mr. President said a few days ago.
That is for being a nation that had an excess crude account, today
because of the collapse of the price of crude, a lot of states of this
country do not have enough resources to meet their basic functions,
responsibilities. That we would never again depend on a single crop
whether it is oil, whether it is solid minerals, whether it is
agriculture.
The president is laying a single foundation, very solid foundation, for
the take-off of this nation such that all the resources that God has
endowed this nation with, whether it is in solid minerals that it is
plentiful, whether it is in agriculture, we can grow virtually anything
in this nation of ours we have been blessed with rich soil.
The Nigeria of tomorrow would be a Nigeria that produces, the Nigeria of
tomorrow would be a Nigeria that can give employment to its youth. The
Nigeria of the tomorrow would be a nation that would provide plentiful
opportunities for its people that is the Nigeria Buhari is presently
constructing.”he said
