The minister noted that it only confused people that would be thinking in that direction.
He words:
“The confused opposition should look for another campaign line instead of the ludicrous claim that we have nothing to campaign with.”
President Buhari's achievements
Listing the administration's achievements, Lai Mohammed, said the president in his tenure successfully completed the Abuja-Kaduna, Lagos-Ibadan and Itakpe-Warri modern rail systems, the Second Niger Bridge, the National Social Investment Programme and the Petroleum Industry Act.
Other achievements include the Integrated National Security and Waterways Protection Infrastructure, the Anchor Borrowers’ Programme, the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline project, the Bonny-Bodo Road project, and the airport terminals, among others.
He asked:
“Can an administration with at least one road construction in every state of the federation and the one that has completed housing projects in 35 states be labelled as non-performing?
“What about the liberation of Nigeria’s territory from insurgents and the re-equipping of our security forces, the same security forces that were left stranded when money meant to equip them were looted silly by rampaging officials, some of whom admitted to spending N2.2 billion to pray against Boko Haram?”
"It’s a lie, we negotiated with Twitter,” FG says, releases proofs of negotiation after suspension
Lai Mohammed says allegations that the federal government did not negotiate with Twitter before lifting the ban on the company is a lie.
According to the Minister of Information and Culture, it was Twitter that initiated the discussions that kickstarted the negotiation.
Going further, the minister revealed that he chaired the team which comprised some other ministers.
