Femi Adesina, has said that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is part of the rot the nation has become and cannot wash his hands clean of what Nigeria has now become.
Adesina said this while reacting to recent comments made by Atiku over the worsening rate of unemployment in Nigeria and for saying that Nigeria is fast degenerating to a failed state.
According to Atiku
“I have never felt so bad at being proven right, as I am by the report from Bloomberg Business on Saturday, March 27, 2021 that Nigeria is to emerge as the nation with the highest unemployment rate on Earth, at just over 33%.
We warned about this, but repeated warnings by myself and other patriots were scorned. And now this. We are at a precipice as a nation and the truth is that all stakeholders and elder statesmen have to speak up on time, while there is still a Nigeria to save.
This government obviously lacks the capacity to address our current challenges, and we must help them, not because of the government, but because of our people.
In a situation where we are simultaneously the world headquarters for extreme poverty, the world capital for out of school children, and the nation with the highest unemployment rate on Earth, there is a very real and present danger that we might slip into the failed states index – God forbid!”
