President Muhammadu Buhari Monday said that he inherited a “‎virtually empty treasury” with debts running into hundreds of millions of Dollars and appealed to the media to explain the true position to Nigerians so that “they won’t match on us”.

The President who spoke while meeting with members of the State House Press Corps said it was a disgrace that Nigeria is not able to pay workers salaries adding that this was as a result of bad management.

According to him, there was ‎already a lot of pressure on his government due to the huge expectations of Nigerians on what they desire from the administration.

While calling on the media to cooperate with his administration‎, President Buhari said he choose Femi Adesina to be his Adviser because he is ‘one of the best’.

“It is not by accident that I got the best of you to be the special adviser, one of the 15 aides  I had to get clearance from the Senate‎. He is one of the best President of the guild that I can have as special advisers. I brought one of the best of you so that he can consistently defend me against you.

“Whether my job is a difficult one or easy it is up to him, but I’m here to thank you in advance for ‎what good and ill you are going to do to me.

“I have to quickly come and see you and welcome you to this place. I hope ‎what happened of recent between the former president and one of you (the seizure of the accreditation of the Radio Germany reporter) will not happen between me and you.

“I hope we are starting and this culture developed, of 100 days is bringing so much pressure with treasury virtually empty, with debts in millions of dollars, with state workers and even federal workers not paid their salaries. It is such a disgrace for Nigeria. I think Nigeria should be in a position to even pay it’s workers. This bad management that we find ourselves in, we really need your help to protect us from people before they match on us” he said.

For members of the State House Press Corps, it is a first time that they would be meeting the president, starting from President Obasanjo up to President Goodluck Jonathan.

Chairman of the State House Press Corps, Kehinde Amodu who spoke on behalf of members of the Corp pledge to work with the government in the interest of Nigeria.

Mtcheeeeew,


Stupidity raised to the power of negative infinity.


In other words, u are telling the whole world that we are bankrupt?

Which foreign investor will want to invest in such an economy?

There are ways of handling issues so that it will not get out of hand.

Apparently, u ve come out to tell everyone that the treasury was empty b4 u assumed office, just to save ur face(selfish interest) forgetting the negative impact it will deal on the economy on the long run.

This very Govt does not have what it takes to rule dis very geographical terrain called country.

I am sick and tired of reading all these trash.

Obj took over from military govt( that was one of the hardest transition any govt can survive) but he didn't complain, he rather took the bulls by the horn and started work.(There were irregularities, YES)

GEJ took over,meet so many dilapidated projects abandoned by the military which OBJ could not tackle, he also had the bull by the horn and started working.(There were also irregularities. YES)

PMB, took, over, he is already lamenting, stop giving us reasons why we should not hold u accountable when u eventually could not deliver all those ur unattainable bogus campaign promises u made to us, and get to work.
Start work 1st, stop giving us reasons to fail, give us reasons why u must succeed.(Until we see the irregularities)

I am sick and tired of this govt already, always talking talking, too much media publicity.


PMB I wish u best of luck as a president, give us reasons to be strong and not reasons to be weak.

Ee be like say na tanzania sure pass for me sef, were is my passport again?

Until you tell me what happened to the ECA, I have nothing further. Looks like a lot of you seem to be asleep when the Gov forum voted to liquidate the account even when the FG objected.. Yall should continue deceiving yourselves. Like I said before, if Buhari thinks that GEJ did anything wrong, he knows what to do.
Yes the ECA was shared at the instance of the governors but what was their reason The FG was making deductions from the ECA without due consultation with the governors who are part owners of the said ECA. This is an issue Okonjo hasn't been able to deny. Was the FG making withdrawals from the account or not? Both the FG and governors have faults.

You are talking about Buhari probing GEJ's government but if he starts now the same people will come here to make noise.

The fact remains that Jonathan's government was a wasteful and corrupt government.

Buhari must not disappoint or go back on his words.


We are not afraid to call u a liar and cakll for your impeachment, if you do.

Gej inherited a $60b and $29b as external res and excess crude acct..and trout gej tenor,oil sales had been $100 and above withthe almost zero debt.

PMD inherited $29b as external res which cannot be touched and zero excess crude acct.Oil is now $60 with a heavy foreign debt..,so what GMB said is true.

By far the most annoying aspect of this nonsense speak by Buhari is that if he were the President of the US and he came out and declared that the US govt is broke, you can expect the stock market and dollar to crash overnight.

Somebody should educate this geriatric fool that as a leader you are supposed to inspire confidence and not preach doom.

[size=13pt]As we heard, Fashola teaches him what to say. It's not that he actually knows what he is saying. All he understands is cow language. He does know how to inspire his herds as we saw in those pictures, but it's an intellectual challenge for him to inspire the nation at this time.

As you are aware, these people (Fashola's group) have always been in the opposition; propaganda is their forte, they are finding it very very hard switching to governance mode from opposition. [/size]

Seriously though, what do you all expect the president to do? I don't know why Nigerians can't set their priorities right, there's no money in the nations's treasury and y'all are shouting "get working".

I like Jonathan as a person but as a president, he was not it at all, his administration and cabinet need probing, i'm not sure of the current president either, till he proves himself, but that doesn't mean I can't use my senses.

Do you need money to appoint ministers?

The elected governors have started work in the midst of debt and empty treasury yet this man is traveling up and down.

I'll tell you! The ECA was shared at the instance of the governors but ask yourself what prompted that decision. The FG was making withdrawals from the said account without due consultation with the governors who are part owners of the money. It is the case of having a joint savings account with a friend who makes withdrawals without your consent and approval. Won't you close that account Now i am not supporting the decision of the governors. Both the FG and governors are to be blamed.

You are talking about President Buhari probing Jonathan's government, but if he starts now the same people will come here to shout.

What a shame.

I'm yet to see a single reason why Jonathan should have been retained on that seat. When Bakere said it years ago that Jonathan was on a mission to bankrupt the country, people called the gentleman all manner of unprintable names but it seems he's now being vindicated by providence.

PDP/Jonathan knew what they had done to this nation and that was the reason behind the kind of campaign the marshalled against the President.

I really hope to see a lot of the people who worked under Jonathan account for the state of our treasury, and justify that under the conditions of crude oil sales that prevailed at that time.

Jonathan will find it difficult to cordinate nuclear family not to talk about rulling a whole Nation.. Iweala and Dieziani capitalise on his ineptitude to plunge this Nation..
Those who paraded themselves here on daily basis to back the wasteful past government would soon find out that they are making mistake
The best way to summarise his administration is that of prodigal..
