EX MINISTER BLAST BUHARI, SAYS SAME HUNGER EXPEREINCED UNDER HIM IN 1983 IS REPEATING NOW

Ex-minister, and now chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau state, Damishi Sango, has carpeted President Muhammadu Buhari’s approach to governance, saying his policies were “anti-people and dictatorial.”Sango said the level of hardship under the current administration has forced many Nigerians to live in abject poverty.He said current events were a repeat of the harsh economy during Buhari’s military government in 1983.“Buhari is not a democrat, he jailed our parents during his rule as military head of state; I was a witness to that, our people suffered severe hunger, just as the hunger that is biting now,” he said.The PDP leader said this yesterday at a press conference at the party secretariat in Jos. He further said, most Nigerians who voted Mr. Buhari in 2015 were disappointed.“Not many thought the first year of Muhammadu Buhari would look like this. The pump price of petrol at 145, per litre, the naira at 380 to a dollar, not a single road tarred, the 2016 Budget in baby step, no minister has received a tranche for work, salary backlog now a routine, herdsmen as killer squads, Biafra on the rampage, Niger Delta brigands reborn, the change mantra is a muted jobs.”
