You Are Running Govt Of Falsehood’ Femi Fani-Kayode Blasts Jonathan

Former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has blasted the government of President Goodluck Jonathan as being run based on falsehood. He further threw a challenge to the Federal Government for a live debate to assess the performance of the administration. In a statement he signed and made available to newsmen in Abuja, the former minister noted: “Jonathan’s government is a government of lies that is run and supported by liars and we need to get them out in 2015 in order to save Nigeria. People just don’t realise how bad things are. There was a survey done by UNESCO the other day, in which they said that Nigeria topped the list of nations with children that were out of class because they ‘lacked access to classrooms’. According to that survey, 10.5 million Nigerian school children “lack access to classrooms” and have to take lessons in the fields and under trees. Nigeria was followed by Pakistan who had 5.4 million, Ethiopia with 1.7 million, India with 1.6 million and the Philippines with 1.5 million. Yet we in Nigeria, despite all our oil wealth and all the money that has accrued to the Federal Government in the last 5 years, cannot build classrooms for 10.5 million of our school children. That is a world record and that is Jonathan’s gift to the Nigerian people. That and the fact that 80 per cent of Nigerian graduates are now unemployed and that 70 per cent of the Nigerian people are living below the poverty line and, according to the U.N., are hungry.” Reacting to the recent comments by Jonathan’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, the former minister advised the administration to be issue-oriented and be concerned with issues affecting the lives of Nigerians.
