– APC chairman has claimed that without
President Buhari Nigeria could be in a worse
situation
– Segun Oni advised Nigerians to stop expecting
magic and give the incumbent government
more realistic expectations
– The ex-governor also alleged that the Boko
Haram terrorists, who continues their attacks
despite all army’s efforts, are sponsored by
politicians
Former governor of the Ekitii state, Engr. Segun
Oni, in the interview granted to the Vanguard said
that there is no magic way out of Nigeria’s
problems.
The politicians, who is now the deputy national
chairman (South) of the All Progressives Congress
APC, touched upon the ongoing economic
recession among other issues.
Mr. Oni said that economy was trumatized by a
government whose only agenda was to win another
round.

He said: “Therefore, everything that they could put
into trying to win a second round even bastardising
the economy were all done, and we are all here
now. Fortunately for them, I would say they are not
there any longer. The reality on ground is that if the
previous government were in power, by now,
Nigeria would have virtually packed up; may be
many of us would be refugees by now.
“So, it is very easy not to remember where we are
coming from. Yes, we were elected to do the
impossible, we will do our own best. I just want to
plead that people should give us more realistic
expectations. This economy must work, we must
get Nigeria back, but it is not as quick as anybody
could imagine or just by a touch of the hand. So,
people are entitled to their expectations, we as a
government, we will do our best to ensure that the
end would justify this cause.
“We were not elected to run Nigeria for one year or
two years; we were elected to run Nigeria for four
years and before we get to an appreciable length of
time I am sure, I am confident that we would begin
to see very, very obvious changes.”
APC chairman further spoke about the economic
experts his party has to manage the country’s
economy.
Mr. Oni added: “There are experts; there is an
economic management team headed by the vice
president, and I want to tell you that, yes he is a
lawyer, but if there is anything this vice president
cannot do about the economy, no other vice
president in the history of Nigeria would have
made any attempt.”

He further stated that the Boko Haram sect worried
him a lot, saying that the terrorists are sponsored
by people who have so much money and want to
create instability.
The politician believes that many of these gunmen
have political motives and people who just wanted
to trouble the government of the day, who don’t
want peace because they believe peace would also
not be what they would want to see.
Nigeria has officially announced the recession at
the end of August and many Nigerians blame
President Buhari for all country’s problems.

predecessors using every opportunity.– APC chairman has claimed that without
