Lai Mohmmed: I didn't say Economy Beyond Buhari's Control

The minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed has come out to debunk  a widely reported  radio programme where he said the economy of the country has gone out of the president's control.
In a statement made available to press men by his aid he said, “Earlier today, I appeared on a radio show here in Abuja at which I spoke extensively on the issues affecting our country especially the economy.
“To my surprise, my views were twisted and I was reported to have said that the economy of our country is beyond the control of the President“ Mohammed said.
According to him, this is a gross misrepresentation of what he said.
“I could not have said that the economy is out of the control of the President or the administration that he is leading” he said.
The Minister said that the Buhari administration decided to turn the economic disaster that it inherited to a blessing by diversifying the economy.
“I think Kannywood is one of the examples of this diversification.
“I don’t know the reason behind the gross distortion of my comment on radio, but whatever the motive is, Nigerians should disregard such distortion and continue to support our President and his administration to take our country out of the problems,“ he said.
