Presidency Monday  described the comments by elder statesman, Prof. Ben Nwabueze that Nigeria is sliding into a failed state as irresponsible and unpatriotic by any Nigerian, explaining that available facts and figures do not suggest anything nearer a failed state for the country.

 Also Special Adviser on Governors and Governance to the National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) ,Osaro Onaiwu, has described as unpatriotic, the recent statements credited to some eminent Nigerians that Nigeria is a failing state.

Reacting to  Nwabueze’s group that Nigeria is  sliding into a failed state, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe said that indices in the country do  not in any way suggest that Nigeria is a failed state or has anything that is nearer it.
