DAILY POST reports that Omotola, in a post on her Twitter page on Monday called out Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo over the state of the nation, coupled with killings across the nation.

She wrote: “The Country Under your watch is Hellish! @ProfOsinbajo @MBuhari

“The lack of Money in circulation, now coupled with the continuous Assault and killings by uniformed men. Will make this Country implode! It’s Unbearable

“Do something! Insecurity! Fear and Desperation everywhere.”

Reacting, personal assistant on new media to President Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, in a tweet, stated that those who were making money legitimately have no complaint about the current state of Nigeria.

He wrote: “Madam Omotola those who are working for CLEAN money are not complaining and will never refer our dear country as ‘hellish’. In Kano State alone, from 2015 to 2018, no fewer than 200 medium and small scale rice milling centres emerged. For that, billions circulated among millions.”
