Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello has stated that
Nigeria would have been partly sold to
China.
He said the intervention of President
Muhammadu Buhari and the All
Progressives Congress (APC) government
halted it.
The governor made the comment when he
was interviewed on Arise TV.
Bello was asked what the ruling APC
intends to do about the state of the
economy and unemployment.
His attention was called to the over 50 per
cent rate and the 13,000 healthcare workers
who have relocated to the United Kingdom
in two years.
Bello replied: “The statistics or the numbers
you just read out, where are they coming
from? What are the processes?
“Most of the times, we question the
statistics because I am most affected
sometimes in Kogi State
“For instance, the NBS (National Bureau of
Statistics), or in the media, or out there,
people say you’re owing salaries.
“Even one particular elite put it on his
Facebook that I am owing salaries up to 18
months.
“He pulled down the information within
hours. There are some information out there
that are misleading.
“I am not saying that are there no work to
be done on unemployment, improvement of
our economy.
“The next thing is: which of the countries of
this world is having it rosy now?
“In fact, if anything, without this
administration of President Muhammadu
Buhari, under APC, probably, Nigeria would
have been partly sold…
“..to either Chinese or any other person
outside this country, because of the way the
economy was managed before we came on
board in 2015.
“In every system, there are saboteurs, there
are Judas. We have them abound within
and outside this APC administration of
President Buhari”, Bello added.
The Kogi helmsman is the National Youth
Coordinator of the over 400-member APC
Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
Former Lagos governor Bola Tinubu and
Senator Kashim Shettima are running a
controversial same-faith ticket.
