A former presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Jerry Gana said Nigerians are the “most miserable set of people in Africa” because nothing is working under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Gana, also a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stated this at the weekend at the PDP Critical Stakeholders’ Retreat organized by the Kogi PDP Renaissance Group in Abuja.
He said that most Nigerians, the majority of them youths, have become “jobless, frustrated and hopeless” as a result of the harsh economic policies of the current administration.
Gana said the PDP “is the only hope now for the Federal Republic of Nigerian to return back to sanity”, adding that the country is a difficult situation.
“In the misery index, Nigeria is the highest in Africa. We are the most miserable set of people in Africa because nothing is moving. In fact, our currency is now 100 percent devalued. Nigeria is going through a very difficult time,” he said.
“The level of indebtedness in the past few years is such that every Nigerian is now in debt. The Naira is perhaps one of the most useless currencies in Africa today.
“I have never seen this level of corruption as we have today. In fact, the level of corruption makes the PDP governments look like angels because corruption is now a thousand times worse.”
Speaking on the insecurity in the country, Gana said nowhere is safe, adding that even Katsina, the hometown of President Buhari, is bedeviled by banditry.
“Governor Maisari was advocating recently that everyone in Katsina state should get a gun. Do you know where Katsina is? Do you know who comes from Katsina? he asked.
KanyiDaily recalls that Governor Masari also said Nigerians should be grateful that President Buhari is tolerating the “rubbish” some civilian presidents could not.
