Buhari Has Granted Nigerians More Freedom Than Obasanjo – Ngige

Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige says Olusegun Obasanjo wouldn’t have granted Nigerians the freedom they currently enjoy.

Gatekeepers News reports that the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige says Former President Olusegun Obasanjo wouldn’t have granted Nigerians the freedom they currently enjoy under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Ngige on Monday said President Buhari is a democrat who is afraid of breaching any law or the constitution of the country.

The Minister said, “There must be a limit to politicking. If a government has done well, if a president has done well; you should give him in the areas of doing well, accolades there. Areas he has not done well, point them out and discuss.

“This president is a democrat, and he is so afraid of breaching the constitution or any law; he is so afraid of it. I’m even stronger than him in terms of that.

“In what country? Even President Obasanjo, can he give you people this latitude? He will not. I know him. My dad or my granddad Obasanjo or senior uncle, he will not grant you people that.

“This president is now a willing horse and you people want to ride him to death.”

The suspension of Twitter by the Federal Government of Nigeria has been described as “undemocratic” by many.

The Twitter suspension came after the microblogging platform pulled down the President’s controversial tweet. The government afterward stated that the platform “threatens the existence of Nigeria.”
