Nigeria- President Goodluck Jonathan has accused former president Olusegun Obasanjo of damaging Nigeria's economy with his recent attacks.
In an interview with the Nigerian Tribune, Jonathan said Obasanjo's utterances were creating the impression that Nigeria is a country on the verge of collapse.
“The stability of this country is critical in terms of the economy of this country. Rating agencies downgrade countries that are going into elections because the feeling is that there would be crisis.
"When you paint the colour of instability for your own nation, you are doing so much injustice to the country because it affects the economy of the country, not just affecting the country in terms of security and social issues alone. It affects the economy directly. So, I plead with very senior citizens that Nigeria is dear to us; we don’t have any other country than Nigeria," he said.
“So, actions and inactions, or utterances, should be guarded so that we don’t expose our country to the international community as if it is a country in danger, a country that is about to collapse. You are frightening investors, especially those who invest hot cash, to pull out their money from the country and that would affect the stock market and it would affect the economy.”
