While speaking at today’s inaugural town hall meeting tagged ‘Buharimeter’ which is holding in Abuja, and aimed at assessing the one year in office of President Muhammadu Buhari, the minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has said that his only sin to Nigerians was speaking too much before the 2015 presidential and general election

The outspoken minister who was the former spokesman for the All Progressives Congress (APC), described the Buharimeter idea as ‘a very good idea’ for the government to engage directly with Nigerians.

“Long before the first year anniversary we had embarked on our own town hall meeting to give the citizens feedbacks on our achievements. The first one was held in Lagos.

“Any meaningful assessment must be situated within the right context. We campaigned on three broad areas, corruption, revamp the economy and security.

“Have we met our targets? If you ask me, I will say we are on track.”

On Insecurity: “The most daunting security challenge we faced

when we came in was the Boko Haram challenge. Today it had receded and it is not by accident.”

Lai Mohammed goes on to list the president’s strategy in scaling back Boko Haram attacks, including relocation of the command office to Maiduguri.

On Corruption: “It was corruption that prolonged the war against Boko Haram. It was corruption that gave nigerians darkness instead of light, despite sinking millions of dollars into the sector. The money recovered so far is a tip of the iceberg.”

On Economy: “Oil price had crashed from over $100 per barrel to about $28. Funds that would have found their way into private pockets are now accruing to government courtesy of the TSA.

“This administration neither lacks the political will or discipline to fulfil its electoral promises. In the coming weeks, the conditional cash transfer will commence, the free meal, vocational training and so on would also begin.”
