Femi Fani Kayode FFK says Buhari will throw Nigeria into more debt

Femi Fani Kayode has accused President Buhari of trying to throw Nigeria into more debt.
He said this while commenting on the 2016 budget recently presented to the National Assembly by Mr. President.
FFK said “The
2016 budget is fueled by insincerity, shrouded in fantasy, built on
tall dreams and spawned by deceit, ignorance and the illusion of change.
It is bloated, unrealistic, expensive, cosmetic and it will not result
in anything good.”
Adding that “In order
to fund part of the budget the government intends to borrow money and
this will throw our country into even greater debt. What a tragedy this
is given the fact that in 2007 Nigeria was debt-free. The Buhari
administration is spending money like a drunken sailor and they are
borrowing as if there is no tomorrow, mortgaging the future of our
nation and our children.”
Also reacting to
the statement made by the Federal Government blaming former President
Goodluck Jonathan for the current fuel situation, FFK said ”They
seem to have forgotten that in 2012 it was their group, led by Bola
Tinubu, Nasir El Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi and President Buhari himself that
aggressively opposed deregulation and almost brought the whole country
to a standstill with protests and riots all over the place in their
efforts to prevent the government from removing the oil subsidy.”
“Had
it not been for their pettiness, lack of understanding,
shortsightedness and double standards the subsidy would have been
removed three years ago and fuel queues would have been a thing of
history. Sadly they lacked the foresight to appreciate the virtues of
that policy and today they have the nerve to blame Jonathan for the mess
that they themselves essentially created,” he added.
Femi Fani Kayode has been a vocal critic of President Buhari’s government, referring to it as an administration of sadists.
