Read the reactions that follow:
Jude Mmaduabuchi: Please Chief, tell us what he ought to have said
Somto Okonkwo: Oga Joe You said worse during the days of the PDP. What goes around comes around.
Mahmud Tukura: Indeed, Divido should retract his statement because the economy is favourable and booming and the more we try to understand the economy the more confused we become. 🤣🤣🤣
Aniekan Nyong Jonathan Udoeyop: However he put it, be honest to yourself and tell us if Nigeria economy is not in a worse state. Can you with all amount of sincerity to yourself say Nigeria economy is booming and waxing strong compared to what was handed over 29th May, 2023?
