“Nigerians could’ve stoned Jonathan, PDP leaders” – Lai Mohammed
Nigeria’s information and culture minister Lai Mohammed is not done with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mohammed, many believe, single-handedly “wasted” the PDP while his party the All Progressives Congress (APC) fought to “seize” Aso Rock. Mohammed was APC’s publicity secretary.
Months after President Muhammadu Buhari of the APC defeated Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP, Mohammed doesn’t seem to have lost his zest for fighting back.

His latest spat with Jonathan and the PDP came after Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu (PDP) blamed the misfortune of the Nigerian economy on the new government.
Here’s Mohammed’s response to Ekweremadu and company:
They are lucky that Nigerians are not as incautious as they are, otherwise they would not be able to walk around freely, not to talk of having the effrontery to fire darts at the government that inherited their rot or the people who are suffering the consequences.
They looted the billions of Naira that were allocated for the fight against insurgency, causing many innocent and patriotic soldiers to die needlessly, yet they are not remorseful. They looted the treasury to influence the last elections, doling out money as if it was going out of fashion, yet they continue to grandstand.
In the latest revelation, a Minister under the immediate past dispensation admitted to sharing 600 million Naira to six Chairmen of the Contact and Mobilization Committee of the PDP for the last general elections, 300 million Naira to an account given by a former PDP chairman, 200 million Naira to a PDP governorship candidate and 100 million Naira to a former PDP governor.
This is just one case out of many, yet these revelations are but a tip of the iceberg of what Nigerians will hear in the days ahead.
Mohammed then said Buhari would clean Jonathan’s mess and make Nigeria work again.
Mohammed issued the statement on Sunday.
We shall see..
