President Goodluck Jonathan has said that General Mohammadu Buhari, All Progressives Congress Presidential Candidate cannot even remember his own phone number and he wants to change the economy of the country.
The President made this statement during a rally in Enugu, he said “Is it now that Buhari cannot even remember his own phone number that he can change the economy of the country.
“We cannot run the government as if we are in the medieval age; we cannot run a government where somebody said he would throw people into jail.
“You are not a medieval king – a medieval king can throw you into jail but we have to follow the rule of law because we cannot go back to the old days.
“They are telling young Nigerians that they are going to change the economy but they have not told us how they want to manage the economy more than us.
“If they say they want to change agriculture, they should tell us the weak links in the agriculture value chain and what they want to do about it.
“I said in Lagos that I want to work with young people, not to deceive people.
“I am not going to run the government based on my habits, I am going to run the government according to global best practices.
The President also accused Buhari of having a wrong notion about corruption, he said “If a Nigerian businessman has a private jet, then you are corrupt but if a South African has a private jet then you commend him.
“If you have a good house, then you are corrupt, if you have a good car then you are corrupt – that is his definition of corruption.
“They are saying that government is corrupt but they are not telling us what they are going to do to stop corruption. Let them go back to their consultants to coach them, and then I will listen to them.
“They should tell us how they are going to manage the economy better than we do. They are saying we stole foreign reserves, nobody can steal foreign reserves – spurious allegations.”
