Lai Muhammed Speak About Buhari Comments About NIgerian Youth

Lai Mohammed speaking with journalists onfriday April 20 at the ongoing Africans Drum festivals in
Abeokuta,ogun state said President muhammadu Buhari was quoted out of context.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Stated that the president has concern for Nigerian youths, as opposed to what the critics of his administration want the people to believe.

He dismissed the reports quoting President Buhari  describing  Nigerian youths as lazy.

He stated  that the current administration had invested in the youth with some of its programmes.

 Some people have just made it their full-time job these days to twist whatever the president says out of context.

“I wonder how a government that has employed 100,000 unemployed graduates we be  anti-youth.

“Our social investment programmes have continued to generate jobs and create opportunities for our youths while our empowerment programmes have been providing  loans to over 400,000 youths.

“This  government  is so concerned and passionate about youth development and it is not right for people to begin to quote Mr. President out of context and thereby incite the youths against the government.”

Meanwhile, the deputy national publicity secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has asked the president to apologize over his comments.

In a statement recieved by Waffcityhot on Thursday, April 19, the APC chieftain said the president's comment cannot be justified because the government has not given the youth opportunity to serve, hence there was no need to demark them at an international event like Commonwealth Business Forum.
