PDP attacks Soludo, says ex-CBN gov confused JANUARY 26, 2015 BY OLUSOLA FABIYI, ABUJA 114 Comments The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has described a former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Soludo, as being confused and conflicted. It also said Soludo had lost touch with reality. Director of Media and Publicity of the campaign organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, stated this while reacting to Soludo’s criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan’s economic policies. Soludo had condemned the President’s economic policies, saying it would not help the country. The former Minister of Aviation however disagreed, saying he read Soludo’s criticism of the economy under President Jonathan’s administration with amusement. He, however, said he would be gentle with Soludo because of the soft spot he claimed he had for the former CBN governor. Fani-Kayode said, “Soludo has criticised the President, his government and his handling of the economy. “Meanwhile Nigeria has just won the prestigious award of being designated as the largest economy in Africa and this has happened under the watch of President Jonathan and no-one else. “Should any right-thinking person, who has the nation’s interest at hear,t be complaining about that? “Needless to say my friend and brother Charles Soludo is confused and conflicted. He seems to have lost touch with reality and this is what often happens when you spend too much time with the Buharists.” He added that Soludo was far too educated, civilised and advanced to be in the opposition because, according to the former minister, he belongs to the modern age and not the dark ages. “I pray that sooner than later, he comes to his senses and he sees the light,” he added. He said 100,000 of the presidential candidate of the opposition All Progressives Congress, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), could not match one Goodluck Jonathan in terms of tolerance, compassion or performance. The Punch
