Kwara State Governor, Dr Abdulfatah Ahmed, has
advised Nigerians to stop blaming President
Muhammad Buhari or any of the nation’s past
leaders for the economic recession in the
country.
Gov Ahmed gave the advice on Wednesday in
Ilorin while receiving members of the Kwara
State Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines
and Agriculture (KWACCIMA).
He said that rather than blaming anybody for the
country’s economic woes, Nigerians should
collectively think outside of the box for an
enduring solution.
According to the Governor, there is nowhere in
the world where a nation runs a mono-economy
like Nigeria without running into economic
recession.
“Over the years, the money earned from oil-
driven economy did not go into regenerative
programmes but went into consumption and
payment of petroleum subsidy.
“So what do you think will happen? The economy
cannot be better. It is not the fault of Buhari or
Jonathan; it is the fault of Nigeria’s leadership
from inception. It is the fault of everybody.
“As a people, we must begin to see how we can
improve our resourcefulness. Enough of the
blame game, it won’t take us anywhere.
“Once we improve on human capital
development, we can begin to drive
entrepreneurship and we would begin to move
out of the recession,” Ahmed said.
