Buhari runs a ‘government of liars’ —Atiku

Former vice-president Atiku Abubakar has branded President Muhammadu Buhari’s government “as a government of liars”.

Atiku said this on Thursday while addressing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members in Enugu State.

He said the All Progressives Congress (APC) promised three million jobs annually but has instead superintended over an economy recording job losses, leading to the “worst form of insecurity” in the country.

“This government is a government of liars. They promised three million jobs per annum but Nigeria has been losing three million jobs every year,” he said.

“This job loss has brought the worst form of insecurity in the country. We are facing challenging times in Nigeria. Today, economy is at its lowest ebb and the greatest challenge is unemployment.”

The former vice-president was received by his supporters when he arrived at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport.
