The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru Usani has said there could not be any better Nigerian president for now than President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC-led Federal Government under which he is a functionary.
He said the APC-led Federal Government true to its promises has delivered on its political promises to Nigerians by bringing about the desired change it promised during the electioneering campaign.
He stated this in chat with Daily Sun newspapers adding that the Buhari-led APC government actually saved Nigerians from poverty and hunger.
According to him, ”You can be sure that I belong to a political party that promised change which has installed the government and that party has a responsibility to talk about the nature of change demanded. I can tell you that as a member of the party and a functionary in government, whoever says they are not being given the change promised has made a mistake. Sometimes you never know what you have until you lose it. If we had not taken the reins of government, by now Nigerians would have been seen crawling to feed from waste bins, you may not understand, but that is the reality.
He lauded the federal government economic diversification programme which he said is yielding the desired dividend calling attention to the agricultural sector which led to the production of lake rice which according to him flooded the markets recently
His words: ”The change we promised is that we will no longer depend on oil again, and presently, diversification is taking place. You have seen Lake Rice flooding the market in December that means tending towards food security and agriculture also as a foreign income earner. The change we promised is to see a government functionary being probed and probably prosecuted which hitherto was not the case.
The change we promised is, as Nigerians are experiencing hardship, people are also refunding to government what was derived from corrupt practices and you have heard the government say that the budget will be funded in part by these funds that are being refunded.”
