An amalgamation of pro-democracy groups from the 19 Northern States under the aegis of the Arewa Initiative for Defence and Promotion of Democracy, AIDPD, has attributed the current economic hardship in the country to the actions of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group’s position is in reaction to the disclosure by the
Chairman of Northern Governors’ Forum and Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman
AbdulRasaq that “crude oil Nigeria will be getting in next six months has
already been sold” in advance by the immediate past government.”
Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, the
Chairman of the Amalgamation, Shehu Abdullahi Ma’aji, said Tinubu inherited the
worst economy so far.
He said: “For instance, the Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman
AbdulRazagq and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) had just
revealed that the crude oil the country will be getting in the next six months
had been sold in advance by the immediate past administration.
According to him, some unpatriotic politicians have hijacked
the economic hardship to instigate civil unrest against the government, adding
that protests in some northern States were the handiwork of those elements.
He called for the cooperation of Nigerians for the
government to address issues.
Ma’aji further argued that sub-regional crises were also
responsible for economic woes as no nation can operate in isolation from
others.
“That the world economy is currently not in the best of
shape due to the Russian-Ukrainian and the Israeli-Palestinian wars.
“We observed that the Nigerian economy is not exempted from
this global economic problem.
“The current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
inherited a lot of problems from the past administration of Muhammadu Buhari
which it is currently trying to address.”
