Former Senior Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Goodluck Jonathan, and veteran journalist, Dr Reuben Abati, on Monday, said ex-President Muhammadu Buhari will be in his Daura village in Katsina State laughing at the current economic situation of the country.
Abati said it was a gross embarrassment in terms of economic management to people from the Southwest who, he said, claim to be better at managing the economy.
According to him, the immediate future of Nigerians now hangs in the balance, stressing that the pain is much and has gone beyond hunger.
Abati said, “Nigerians have now been thrown into energy poverty. We now find ourselves unfortunately in a situation whereby President Muhammadu Buhari, now in his Daura village in Katsina, will be laughing.
“He will say, ‘Okay. I think this Yoruba people say they know the economy. Okay, the economy is now in their hands. They have, they have taken it down. They have mismanaged it’
