The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie Oyegun has blamed the ongoing hardship in Nigeria on evil forces which, he said , is responsible for President Buhari’s inability to solve the country’s myriad of problems.
While fielding questions from newsmen in Benin City, the Edo State capital, Chief Oyegun took a swipe at evil forces and saboteurs calling to mind Gov. Ayodele’s stance on the frequent trips of the president abroad.
The APC chieftain said President Buhari won the election owing to the respect he commands both at home and abroad adding that he is on a rescue mission to salvage the country and bail her out of her economic woes, a mission which evil forces have been frustrating at every turn.
Said Chief Oyegun, ”“forces of darkness and economic saboteurs opposed to the nation’s growth and development are bent on frustrating the efforts of the APC-led administration under President Buhari in his determination to rescue the polity from the ongoing fuel crisis and to revitalise the ailing economy”.
On the letter written by Gov Fayose asking for a loan refusal to Buhari, Oyegun said, “I hope Fayose did not really do what we are told he did. I don’t think even he will descend into this low depth but if he did I feel sorry for him and the people of his state. Nigerians should ask Fayose: what was he doing in China? Anyway, we are not bothered, the President is not bothered. A man who could put his father in his car boot – what do you expect from him?’’
Speaking further, he the APC chieftain said “Everything Buhari has done including the foreign tours are to garner all the support needed to make a dramatic impact on the living conditions of Nigerians as soon as possible; where the world has become a global village, where rapid revival depends on the understanding of the rest of the world, the President has taken his prestige and time around the world to polish our image which had been badly damaged in order to make it possible for world leaders to want to deal with a new Nigeria and to get the type of resources and the expertise that we dearly need.”
He concluded by reminding every Nigerian that the president’s firm resolve to pull the country out of her present woes necessitated his frequent trips adding that he really does not derive pleasure from globe-trotting.
His words, “because the kind of problems we have are not the types that we can wait for one or three years to solve; we do not have the resources to revive the economy; so what the President is doing has grave inconveniences to his person. Don’t forget that he was a military officer, he trained abroad and he had been to most parts of the world, so, it is not as if he is deriving joy in spending sleepless nights moving from one country to another.”
