Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole yesterday said the trial of former Petroleum Resources Minister, Diezani Alison- Madueke in the United Kingdom for alleged money laundering was just a tip of the iceberg.
Speaking with State House Correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Oshiomhole said the economy had been mismanaged over the past several years and that nobody should be surprised about the trial of the former minister.
The governor explained that it was shocking that with the revenue that accrued to the country consistently, the treasury was empty and the nation was running budget deficit.
According to him, over N3.5trn was drawn down by the previous government from pension funds to support recurrent expenditure.
“For me, I don’t think anybody should be surprised because the most favorable commentator on the Nigerian condition, both the economy, the polity and society, everybody agrees that our economy was badly mismanaged over the past several years.
“I have not seen one commentator that disagreed. Even when they talk about rebasing, have you rebased the level of poverty? Have you rebased prosperity? Have you rebased unemployment? Have you rebased homelessness? Have you rebased hunger? So I have not seen anyone that says Nigerian people are doing better,” Oshiomhole said.
The governor explained that during the past administration, he was only in government and not in power because a lot of things were not done the right way.
He, however, said that with the present government, many things that were done in the wrong way are now being addressed.
“I am the luckiest person, I have been in government for seven years without being in power, I was in government, I couldn’t call a commissioner of police and talk as a security officer, I am haunted by all manners of persons.
“You kill the snake in Edo, they will put the snake on life support in Abuja and they keep harassing us, Now all those venoms are dead and buried.
For the first time I am excited and happy not just for personal benefit, but for the changes I am beginning to see,” he added.

ReplyDeleteHe should stop gloating over someone's failure. That is wrong of a matured person. If put on scale how has he fared in his state?
