‘Generals dug soak-away pits and put dollars inside’ – Oshiomhole

The Edo state governor, Adams Oshiomole, on Saturday, said that President Muhammadu Buhari was fixing Nigeria’s economy after years of destruction by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The Govenor, who stated this at a campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Afuze, Owan east local government area of the state, noted that the present economic recession was caused by the PDP.

He called on the people of the state to vote against the PDP in the forthcoming governorship election in the state.

Oshiomhole said, “The way PDP put fire on our economy, it is not possible to rebuild it overnight.

“The people who bled the treasury are now coming to tell you, the victims, that rice is now expensive, naira has suffered devaluation. If one man took over N2 billion, in Edo alone, what they have confessed to EFCC to have taken is over N5 billion.

“If they took so much dollars meant for defense to protect Christians against attacks from Boko Haram, to protect mosques from Boko Haram attack, these people took the money in dollars, converted it to naira, depleted our dollar reserves, shared it into their pockets, their generals dug soak-away pits and put dollars inside.

“The whole dollars from the Central Bank was taken and from a reserve of over $50 billion, PDP bled the reserves and today it is down to about $20 billion.

“When a man comes to your house, burgled your store where you kept your food and in the morning you find the store burgled, can you immediately feed your children? But President Buhari has started rebuilding the treasury to re-secure it.

“My confidence about the future of our country is that Buhari is blocking all the leakages in our economy, and the ones they have taken he is recovering them one after the other.”
