Alhaji Lai Mohammed
Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism - Alhaji Lai
Mohammed has admitted that the ruling party was overwhelmed with the
level of madness, indiscipline and impunity in Nigeria.
According to him, the party was not prepared for the level of rot
the administration met on ground when they came into power in 2015. He,
however, claimed that the change the ruling party promised Nigerians has
started manifesting.
Speaking in an interview with Sun newspaper, he said: “Let’s
look at it, number one, we promised change and that change has come.
There is change today from impunity to accountability and it means a
lot. There is a change today from corruption to integrity, it means a
lot.
“There is a change today in the way people view corruption than
the way they use to view it before. You will never live your flamboyant
lifestyle again. In 2014 or thereabout when the former President went
to Kenya, there were about 100 private jets that went with him.”
“What we did not know was the level of dirt and rottenness, the
level of dirt and corruption is what we did not get. We knew things
were bad but we did not know things were these bad. We did not know
before we came in that there was no savings at all, we did not know
before we came in, the madness and scale of indiscipline and impunity.
“So if anybody says we are overwhelmed, yes we are overwhelmed
but not by the work but by the level of rottenness and we want to clean
this rottenness and this is what we have been doing. It doesn’t matter
what vision you have but if you don’t have the money to execute, its as
if you are doing nothing,” he said.
