The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Friday said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has no right to demand for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari over the economic situation in the country.
Mohammed said this at the News Agency of Nigeria forum in Abuja.
Mohammed said, “It is very painful in a situation where the armed robber is now the one sympathizing with the victim.
“I read in the dailies that the PDP said that the President must resign because of the economy.
“While we are not going to indulge in blame game, I think we should also be honest enough to admit that we will not have been where we are today if they had done what they ought to do.
“For the party to ask the President to resign is just a big joke.”
The minister said Nigeria is not the only country suffering from the crash in price of crude oil.
He said: “Agree that Nigeria is not the only country hit by the recession and crash in price of crude, but other countries made savings.
“Saudi Arabia today has about 600 billion dollars in reserve and this is by planning and saving for the future which the past administration failed to do during surplus.
“This is not about blaming other administration, but we believe that one should be honest when criticizing.”
