N O less than N7billion was blown on the National Conference – the controversial talkshop that is the Dr. Goodluck Jonathan administration’s pill for all that ails the polity – it was learnt yesterday.
It’s a waste, All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. said.
In the view of Gen. Buhari, the money should have been spent on education.
The APC candidate spoke at a town hall meeting with some youths at the MUSON Centre in Lagos. He spoke extempore.
It was the second leg of the campaign by the party after a South South zonal rally held earlier in the day in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital. The campaign was relaunched on Wednesday with the Northwest rally in Kaduna.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been campaigning on the plank that President Goodluck Jonathan will implement the report of the conference, if re elected.
Gen. Buhari urged the youth to join hands to salvage the country. Also listening, besides, the youths, were leaders of the party, including National Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun, Campaign Director General Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi, Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola, and Kaduna State governorship candidate Mallam Nasir El Rufai.
The theme of the event is “Secure the future: Discussing Change with the youth”.
Gen. Buhari said education had suffered under Jonathan’s administration, noting that the APC government would return the country to where it should truly be.
