The Senator representing Edo North Senatorial District, Adams Oshiomhole, has asserted that Nigerians are still suffering from the impact of the policies that were implemented by former President, Muhammadu Buhari.
Oshiomhole made this assertion in an interview on Channels Television monitored by Africa Today News, New York.
According to the former governor of Edo State, President Tinubu should not be held responsible for the right or wrong decisions taken by the previous administration.
Oshiomhole said President Tinubu always places national interests above partisan interests.
“My first loyalty is to Nigeria. At some point, before the last president left office, I lamented loudly what I saw as reckless policies that were designed to dehumanize the population that was already in pain.

“I felt that it is not what the then president promised. I dissociated myself from those policies and I’m happy that I was not the only one.
“There were governors who approached the court to denounce some of those policies. It is the long term consequences of those policies that we are still grappling with now.
“Yes, it is our party platform. Like Tinubu also said, he was not a minister or adviser. He never took a contract in that government and he cannot be held responsible for what the government did right or wrong,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian Presidency has described the country as a “very poor” country, stressing that the wealth of the country is actually overestimated.
Bayo Onanuga who is the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy to the President, made this in an interview on Arise Television which was monitored by Africa Today News, New York.
According to Onanuga, Nigeria is still a very poor country considering its low per capita income, compared to other African nations.
