APC chairman chief John Odigie-Oyegun has acknowledged the pains Nigerians are going through under the administration of his party. Inflation has since hit double digits, electricity has tanked and the queues are just beginning to ease from the gas stations after months of chaos and gridlock.
Speaking in Abuja after receiving an achievement award from the Old Boys Association of Saint Patrick’s College (SPC), Asaba, Oyegun assured his compatriots that help is on the way.
“We are not shutting our eyes to the pains of the Nigerian people because it is real. It is genuine. We can only plead for patience. Thank God the APC government has its very first national budget and the implementation of that budget will be passionately pursued.” he said.
The party chairman said the president Muhammadu Buhari led federal government will stimulate the economy by embarking on a wide range of capital projects, in a bid to get Nigerians back to work. About 30 percent of the budget has been earmarked for capital projects.
“In the coming months, the safety net created by the administration to cater for the poorest and vulnerable Nigerians and other economic initiatives aimed at diversifying and boosting the economy will be implemented. The result at the end of the day is going to be a more vibrant nation which every Nigerian will be proud of.
“As at today, the economy is in the process of being reflated; meaning that money is being put into the system. Contractors are being mobilised to go back to work. New contracts will be awarded. The railway will be one of the very first priorities. We will for the first time go from Kano to Lagos through Benin City all the way to Calabar by rail.”
