Amidst recession, Oyegun says but for Buhari Nigeria would’ve collapsed

Amidst cries of hunger and hardship presently ravaging the country, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC), said, but for Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria would have been in worst situation.

Oyegun, who described President Buhari as God-sent to salvage the country, maintained that Nigeria would have collapsed if not for the timely emergence of Buhari.

The APC national Chairman made this pronouncement in Sokoto on Friday while declaring open a three-day retreat organised by the Kano State Chapter of APC for its officials and stakeholders on political party management.

“Buhari was God-sent at the most crucial time in Nigeria’s history. He inherited a comatose economy and he has been strenuously working to deliver on his campaign promises centred on the economy, security and fighting corruption.

”Insurgency has been tamed, while the issues of militancy and other related security challenges were being diligently attended to by the President.”

Oyegun who also described President Buhari as being “frugal with every kobo that accruesto the nation,” expressed optimism that the economy would soon bounce back.

According to him, no sane and patriotic Nigerian would be pessimistic about the way Buhari was uniquely tackling corruption.
