PDP vice-presidential candidate, Peter Obi, says Nigeria will be
finished if President Buhari is allowed to remain in office for another
four years. Obi said this when he spoke at a conference in Lagos over
the weekend.
“We need to know where we are going as a nation but with Buhari at
the helms of affairs, we do not know where we are going. Buhari is not
in charge of this government as he does not know or care what the poor
people are going through. Nigerians are currently the poorest people on
earth, yet the Muhammadu Buhari administration of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) is still looking at taxing them the more. Take look at
the budget presented by the President a few days ago and you will see
that it does not give anyone hope instead, it tells us that we are still
where we have always been. A quarter of the budget is meant to service
debts, and that is about 60% of the budget while the President keeps
telling Nigerians to tighten their belts because of the harsh times
staring at us in the future.
“Does that give anyone confidence in this government? Not at all, I
dare say. While presenting the budget, he said that the government is
looking for ways to tax Nigerians the more. What are you taxing the poor
people for? Does that give any one of us hope in this government? That
means that if we keep them for the next four years, we are finished.” he
