President Buhari owes no one apology for saying Nigerian youths are lazy, Prince Tony Momoh

President Buhari owes no one apology for saying Nigerian youths are lazy, Prince Tony Momoh

Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress APC, Tony Momoh, says President Buhari does not owe anyone an apology for saying a lot of Nigerian youths are lazy and that they seat back waiting for government to give them things for free.

Momoh made a case for President Buhari during an interview with Daily Independent when he was asked to react to the controversy that has trailed the President’s comment.

According to him, President Buhari was saying the truth unlike other professional politicians that are used to lying.

He said, “That the President should apologise. Apologise for what? Are many Nigerian youths not staying at home doing nothing? Why should he apologise for saying the truth? Is it not true that many of our youths are sitting at home doing anything because of lack of opportunities? If he is going to apologise, it will be because the government is trying to create opportunities for youths.

“To apologise for saying a lot of Nigerian youths are staying at home is unnecessary. The population of Nigerian youths that are jobless, is it high or low? If it is high, then one can rightly say that most of them don’t work. The fact is President Buhari is a very highly focused man. He says what is on his mind and is never afraid of doing so.”

‎“If you want to analyse the issue, you will discover that he is just speaking his mind unlike the professional politicians who are used to lying. Having discovered that many Nigerian youths stay at home and have no work to do, it is his responsibility to create avenue for them to work. If Shell is going to invest $15b or more in Nigeria, is it not a way of creating avenues for the youths who stay at home doing nothing?

A lot of Nigerians are focusing on unimportant things, playing politics with important issues by distorting what the president said. If I were to look at the issue, I will focus on the fact that Shell is going to invest $15b in Nigeria and create avenues for unemployed youths to work. He never used the word lazy in describing Nigerian youths, it is mischief makers who twisted his words and claim he described youths as lazy but the fact is that youths.”
