Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the minister of information and culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the PDP in Kwara state “is sinking and in total disarray” and had resorted to cheap blackmail against the APC.

The minister stated this on Friday, December 28, in Ilorin after a meeting with a cross section of APC Executive Council in the state led by the factional chairman, Bashir Bolarinwa.

Mohammed was reacting to a social media report that he allegedly masterminded the live coverage and disruption of a community event by the Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU) in the state capital.

The minister denied the social media report stressing that it was the handiwork of the “sinking PDP”.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
