Buhari impudently declared, “we have a very young population, our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million. If 60 per cent of young Nigerians are unemployed that means that the national work force has been greatly impaired. Additionally, his comments contradicts the pronouncements of Nigeria’s Minister of Labour and Productivity, Chris Ngige, who recently said in January that Buhari created over eight million jobs in less than three years. A president’s speech should inspire confidence in the hearts and minds of his people both at home and in the diaspora. You don’t make speeches that frustrates and infuriates the citizens of your country in the comity of nations.Nigerians not just the youth demand an immediate apology from Buhari.
