Nigeria not sleepwalking into disaster under Buhari – Presidency

The Federal Government is not ‘sleepwalking into disaster’, the Presidency said yesterday.

In a reaction to an article by David Pilling in the Financial Times.

Presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu in a statement condemned the writer for describing the Nigerian government as “a government sleepwalking into disaster”.
The report claimed that President “Buhari has overseen two terms of economic slump, rising debt and a calamitous increase in kidnapping and banditry.

“The one thing you might have thought a former general could control. As said of India, Nigeria grows at night, while the government sleeps which is hardly surprising that some libertarian tech entrepreneurs want the government to withdraw and leave the private sector in charge.”

Shehu criticised the publication for leaving out the security gains by the government, adding that the Boko Haram terrorists have no territory at the moment under the Buhari-led government.
