‘Nigeria dressed in borrowed robes’

While reeling out his plans, Atiku lamented that Nigeria’s economy is crawling rather than growing.

According to him, Nigeria is being dressed in borrowed robes.

He said Nigeria under the APC-led government has consistently run on budget deficits since 2015.

“For the first time in Nigeria’s history, the Federal Government paid more in debt service than it earned by spending more than 100percent of its revenue for debt service. Nigeria is breaching one of the applicable debt sustainability thresholds. The APC-led government is dressing Nigeria in borrowed robes,” he restated.

“Nigeria’s GDP grew at an average rate of less than 1% since the APC assumed power in 2015. Compare this with an average growth of 6.5% in seven years earlier. For capital income, a measure of citizen’s well-being has progressively fallen since 2015 because of declining output and a fast-growing population. Nigerians are worse off today than they were in 2015. لعبة الحظ الحقيقية

“Job loss, declining purchasing power of per capita income and lack of citizens access to basic amenities have pushed more than 90million people below the poverty line and created more misery for the poor in towns and villages.”
