Nigeria’s
minister of information, culture and tourism, Lai Mohammed has said that the
ruling APC was overwhelmed with what he
described as 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 APC promised Nigerians has started manifesting.
Speaking in an
interview with The Sun, 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.
