Buhari's minister blames Jonathan for economic woes

Like some of her other colleagues in the current government, Aisha Alhassan, the women affairs and social development minister, has absolved President Muhammadu Buhari of any blame concerning the current economic challenges facing the country.

Daily Post reports that the minister spoke in Effurun, Delta state at a meeting with women in the All Progressives Congress (APC) drawn from the 25 local government areas of the state.

She pleaded with Nigerians not to blame the president for an economic mess, which according to her, was caused by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Represented by the coordinator for Women Empowerment, Chief Akukalia Angela, Alhassan said: “The present process of economic recession is not caused by the APC-led government; rather, it was caused by the immediate past government, who looted the nation’s treasury and threw the people into hardship.

“The APC will do everything humanly possible to put Nigeria back on the right positive track.”

Speaking at the event, Dr Janeth Oyubu, who is the APC women leader in Delta, complained that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state had hijacked all the palliatives initiated by the Buhari government.

“Don’t be carried away with peanuts from the ailing PDP. I can assure you that APC has all it takes to transform your well-being by empowering you so that you can be helpful to your family and the society,” she said.
