Chief Modestus Umenzekwe, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos and Anambra, has stated that if Nigeria was corruption-free, President Muhammadu Buhari would not have been sick.

According to reports, Umenzekwe made his comments in annoyance about the high level of corruption which was recorded in previous administrations.

 He released a statement which read:“President Buhari’s ill health was caused by the monumental heap of corruption that he met when he assumed duty.

“In the power sector alone over N11 trillion was spent and yet nothing to show for it. What the APC government met under power is enough to give Buhari ill health.

“Look at the findings in the Ministry of Petroleum where someone accumulated wealth of over three nations put together.

“What about bad road? Today the entire Apapa, in Lagos is being closed down for one year for full road reconstruction. The road network is in shamble up to Tincan Island Ports.

“That is why the pressure from those calling for restructuring of Nigeria is on the rise.

"When people are talking about change, I laugh because the true meaning of change is nothing but creating a very congenial atmosphere in the state administration.

“What has Buhari inherited from his predecessors? Nothing.

“Where is Nigerian Airways, Nigerian National Shipping Line, National Electric Power Authority. Most of these were fraudulently privatized. What are the benefits the nation derived from such privatization?

“What has happened to the old National Assembly Complex at Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, the National Stadium, Tafawa Balewa Square, the National Arts Theatre, the Nigerian Telecommunication (NITEL). They have all gone into oblivion.

“They are either sold away or completely abandoned to decay.

“They are now gathering to takeover governance in 2019 when we are yet to clean the mess they made. They are all dreamers.”

     Meanwhile, STASTATIONtvNews   previously reported that the founder and Spiritual Head of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele,warned President Muhammadu Buhariagainst running for a second term in 2019 due to his ill health.

Ayodele stated that the failing health of Buhari was spiritual and not physical and should not be taken with levity by lovers of the President.
