Vice Chairman of the People Democratic Party, PDP, South-South zone,
Chief Emmanuel Ogidi, has admitted that ex-President, Goodluck Jonathan
never wanted any issues with the governors in his administration, which
led to his sharing of the country’s treasury with them.
He said the action had brought Nigeria to this current economic
recession, but called on the All Progressive Congress, APC-led
government to proffer solutions to the situation.
Ogidi maintained that the APC should have known the problems on
ground before campaigning for change, adding that there was recession in
Jonathan’s time.
Speaking in Warri, Delta State, at the God’s Kingdom Society, GKS’
Feast of Tabernacles, Ogidi told reporters that although recession was
global, the country was in economic trouble because there was no
savings.
According to him, “When Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said we should save
for the rainy day, the governors took on then President Goodluck
Jonathan. He did not want to have issues with them, so they shared the
money.
“If your campaign was based on change, it means you know what is on
ground and will make a difference. So, why blame the previous government
instead of doing your job? There was recession in Jonathan’s time. The
difference is how you manage it.”
