Former Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole has blamed the policies of former President Muhammadu Buhari, for Nigeria’s collapsing economy. Oshiomhole, now a Senator, stressed that the aftermath of Buhari’s policies is having a toll on the economy and further impoverishing Nigerians.
The Senator Representing Edo North Senatorial District in an interview on Channels Television, said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is trying his best to further boost the economy and put smiles on the faces of Nigerians, but that the policies and wrong decisions of the Buhari administration is affecting the economy.
He said President Tinubu should not be blamed as the he always places national interests above partisan interests.
He said, “My first loyalty is to Nigeria. At some point, before the last President left office, I lamented loudly what I saw as reckless policies that were designed to dehumanize the population that was already in pain.
“I felt that it is not what the then President promised. I dissociated myself from those policies and I’m happy that I was not the only one.
“There were Governors who approached the Court to denounce some of those policies. It is the long term consequences of those policies that we are still grappling with now.
“Yes, it is our party platform. Like Tinubu also said, he was not a Minister or adviser. He never took a contract in that Government and he cannot be held responsible for what the Government did right or wrong,” he said.
