Angry elites are sabotaging the moves by President Muhammadu Buhari’s to turn around the country’s economy from the mess entrenched by previous administrations, the Senate Leader Ali Ndume has said.

Speaking on the economic downturn in the country, he said the elites are angry with the war against corruption embarked upon by the Buhari’s administration.
He also said the elites should be blamed for the hardship Nigerians are facing especially as its concern the rising prices of food stuffs.
According to him, the elites are deliberately sabotaging the Buhari’s administration in order to make the All Progressives Congress (APC) government unpopular.
Ndume said this group of people benefited immensely in the 16 years administration of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“If not for the saboteurs, Nigerians would have been reaping the dividend of electing President Buhari.  Otherwise, what has the fall of naira to do with the price of millet, tomatoes and other locally produced commodities? It is understandable that the price of imported rice is affected,” he said.
He appealed to Nigerians to be patient, saying, “the APC government is working hard to turn around things positively.
“We are working hard on the 2016 budget and in it, the president has included things that would enhance the living conditions of the citizenry.  We will pass the budget this month,” he said.
