Buhari’ govt spending money like a drunken sailor – Fani- Kayode

ABUJA- FORMER Spokesperson of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode has described the 2016 budget as presented by President Muhammadu Buhari to the joint National Assembly as that fueled by insincerity.

According to him, it was ironic that former governor Asiwaju Tinubu; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and Governor Nasir El- Rufai who kicked against deregulation during former President Jonathan, have suddenly become great supporters of deregulation.

In a statement he signed yesterday and made available to Journalists in Abuja, Chief Fani- Kayode who accused Buhari’s administration of spending money like a drunken sailor, alleged that the government was borrowing as if there was no tomorrow.

The former Aviation Minister who noted that the government was mortgaging the future of Nigeria, Nigerians and our children,said, “The 2016 budget is fueled by insincerity, shrouded in fantasy, built on tall dreams and spawned by deceit, ignorance and the illusion of change. It is bloated, unrealistic, expensive, cosmetic and it will not result in anything good.

“In order to fund part of the budget the government intends to borrow money and this will throw our country into even greater debt. What a tragedy this is given the fact that in 2007 Nigeria was debt-free. The Buhari administration is spending money like a drunken sailor and they are borrowing as if there is no tomorrow, mortgaging the future of our nation and our children.

” We need far more fiscal discipline and seriousness than that if our government really wishes to improve the economy and better the lives of ordinary people.

“Meanwhile the Federal Government has said that President Goodluck Jonathan is responsible for today’s long fuel queues even though he left office 7 months ago.

” They seem to have forgotten that in 2012 it was their group, led by Bola Tinubu, Nasir El Rufai, Rotimi Amaechi and President Buhari himself that aggressively opposed deregulation and almost brought the whole country to a standstill with protests and riots all over the place in their efforts to prevent the government from removing the oil subsidy.

“Had it not been for their pettiness, lack of understanding, shortsightedness and double standards the subsidy would have been removed three years ago and fuel queues would have been a thing of history. Sadly they lacked the foresight to appreciate the virtues of that policy and today they have the nerve to blame Jonathan for the mess that they themselves essentially created.

“They have been in power for 7 months now: it is time for them to step up to the plate, start taking responsibility for their own actions, do a better job and stop blaming Jonathan for their own miserable and avoidable failures.”

How I got back my trimmed body three weeks after birth —Lizzygold Onuwaje

It’s been just about a month, actress and former Miss Delta State, Lizzygold Onuwaje, surprised us all with her baby bump photos and the birth of her child. Naturally, she should be a nursing mother and worried sick how to get her former shape back? But not Lizzy, as she is already up and about and looking like she has never passed through the labour room.

From the photos she sent to Potpourri, it is as clear as day, that the actress has a secret recipe to have turned out looking something that just came off the production line of a manufacturing company. “After birth, I avoided fatty, oily and solid meals.

All I did was drink hot liquid meals for a week with very light meals” she said in a chat with Potpourri.

“And then, I did exercises on my tummy. I didn’t give it a break and I always drank very hot pepper soup made by my mum.

Pepper soup is medicinal and that did the magic for me” she squirmed “ I did pelvic bone exercise, it is good to exercise the first week after birth because then the tummy fat is still very tender and will be easy to burn”she said.
