The religious leaders reportedly lamented the state of economy in Nigeria to the president. Bello, while reacting to the statement said only looters are unhappy with the Buhari administration, The Cable reports.

“The question is who are those Nigerians who are angry? “The category of Nigerians that are angry are those who used a private jet to cart away Nigeria’s money, in dollars, out of the country to South Africa.

“I’m sure you are away that our money is still locked down there, such money if you bring it into the economy, a lot of youth who are unemployed will surely be employed.

“And of course those that have looted the country dry and normally go to the church and mosque to pay tithe are no longing doing so. Of course, this is the category of people who are angry.” The governor went on to list the type of Nigerians happy with the current administration.

He said: “Among those happy with the current administration are farmers and those with real jobs… because the economy is improving.

“Our foreign reserve is increasing. I think those that are benefiting from these crimes and criminality will be angry and they are Nigerians. So it is important to define the category of people who are angry."
