Blame past administration for the poor state of the economy- APC

The APC has asked Nigerians to blame the past administration for the poor state of the nation's economy and the increasing fall of the Naira. The party's position was made known by its acting spokesperson Timi Frank in an interview with Vanguard

“Personally, I am worried about the current situation of the economy but again I am letting you know it is not our fault because this is what we met. We met a bastardised system. We took over from a government that destroyed our economy.
The PDP government embezzled the wealth of our nation. So our economy is something we are fighting to survive. And I can assure you that our government is taking every necessary step to make sure we revive our economy and that everything will come to stay. Clearly, I can tell you that this is why the President is moving round to make sure our economy stands again. The current situation of our country today, I am asking Nigerians not to blame President Buhari because he is working very hard to make sure things go well with Nigerians that voted APC government to power. They will not be disappointed. So the blame goes back again to the previous government, the PDP government which squandered the resources of our country. And today, Nigeria as a nation is suffering because of them. But by the grace of God, things will be fine again”, he said.

Desperate search for flight attendant last seen at the airport

A desperate search is underway for a flight attendant who disappeared from an airport before she was set to leave on her next trip. Sierra Shields, 30, was set to take off from La Guardia Airport in New York on a Delta flight on Thursday, but vanished before she made it to the plane.

Her work supervisor said she came in and spoke to her earlier in the day, and suddenly quit without an explanation. Friends and family also said they had noticed something different about her in recent days 

Her father told Pix 11 that Shields spoke to older sister on the phone earlier in the week and thought something was off about her. Her father added that she didn't have any enemies and didn't have a boyfriend.

She was so concerned that she flew to the city to see her. But by the time she arrived Shields had gone missing.  

'Her roommates noticed that about her,' he said. 'They noticed some things had just changed in the last week with her as far as her personality and what was going on with her.'

'There are a lot of people that love her. I want to experience what they call "Sweet Sierra" again.'

Loved ones have set up a Facebook page, Find Sierra Shields, in a bid to track her down.

A post on the group reads: 'Please help find this beautiful young lady! She is a precious, bubbly, and happy person. 

'She lives her life by God's word and is such an amazing, helpful, and caring daughter, sister, and friend. 

'All of us who know her, love her very much! If anyone has any information, please contact the number in the picture or this page. Please share and pray for her and her family!'
