Don’t blame us for your hardship, FG tells Nigerians
The Federal Government on Thursday absolved itself of any wrongdoings in the present economic woes ravaging the country, which has brought so much hardship in the land.
The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Senator Udo Udoma, made the claim on Thursday while answering questions from reporter s after the last meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC) for the year 2016 at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to Udoma, President Muhammadu Buhari-led government was never responsible for the country’s problems as it was only on a rescue mission, adding that government was dogged to change things in the country.
Critics of this administration have continued to argue that nothing has been bettered since the coming in of the Buhari-led administration.
According to them things have only got worse from what they used to be.

Buhari needs to start understanding the fact that every bad thing in this country would be blamed on him, that’s why he’s the president. FG telling us they are not responsible for the current hardship is like telling Nigerians to go to hell. With all due respect Mr president, you too go to hell

It goes to show how irresponsible the current administration has proven to be. If they aren’t the cause of the hardship, who is?

I am using this medium to denounce Nigeria as my country openly. Please let the government gets to know and deport me to even Sierra Leone because Nigeria has no government at all.

We must be ashamed of buhari and his cabinets. They are just there to enrich themselves. They don’t care for the masses. Let’s be frank, even buhari is a corrupt person.
