The
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed says the emergence of
Muhammadu Buhari as president in 2015 saved the country’s economy from imminent
collapse due to mismanagement and unbridled corruption.
The
minister made the remarks in Kano on Friday during a courtesy visit to Governor
Abdullahi Ganduje, shortly before the commencement of the Hausa language town
hall meeting in the ancient city.
“For
the fact that God loves this country, if any other political party had won the
election, there would have been no economy to talk about.
“They
wouldn’t have the courage or discipline to manage the economy,” he said.
Mr.
Mohammed said through prudent management of resources and the introduction of
creative ideas to block leakages, the president was gradually reviving the
economy.
He
assured Nigerians that there was indeed light at the end of the tunnel.
“This
government more than any government, has been working very hard because this is
one government that genuinely believes in the people.
“It
is one government that really cares for the poorest of the poor.
“For
the first time, we have a president whose integrity is actually driving the
country,” he said.
He
appealed to Nigerians to be patient as the change they voted for would be
gradual, noting that the past one year had been spent in laying a solid
foundation for the country.
