‘if Ex President Jonathan Left No Savings, What Money Did Buhari Use To …?’ by DamiBukola: 12:13pm On Dec 26, 2016
On Christmas Day of 2016, President Muhammadu Buhari hosted leading
citizens of the Federal Capital Territory led by the minister of the FCT,
Muhammad Bello, and during the visit he returned to his old habit of
blaming and said, and I quote, “there was no money saved, no
infrastructure built, and power is still our main problem.
This is patently untrue and without mincing words, President Buhari lied.
Former President Jonathan left $2.07 billion in the Excess Crude Account
when he handed over to President Buhari on May 29, 2015. He also left
Foreign reserves of $29. 6 billion for the incoming government in May
2015.
If ex President Jonathan left no savings, with what money did President
Muhammadu Buhari use to bail out those states that could not pay salary
(mostly APC states) after he assumed office in May 2015? Of course the
Central Bank of Nigeria did not print money!
That money came from somewhere. On Tuesday the 26th of July, 2016,
President Buhari commissioned the $1.457bn Abuja-Kaduna standard
gauge rail project. This was a project built and COMPLETED by the
Jonathan administration. It is a 187 kilometer railway that enables
Nigerians to live in Kaduna and work in Abuja. Is this not infrastructure?
The only federal university in President Buhari’s state is the federal
university Dutsin-Ma was built by former President Jonathan who also
built 11 other federal universities in Zamfara, Yobe, Nasarawa, Kogi,
Taraba, Gombe, Jigawa, Kebbi, Ebonyi, Bayelsa and Ekiti states.
By building 12 new federal universities and 165 almajiri schools and
renovating 507 additional secondary schools all over Nigeria through the
Universal Basic Education Commission, the Jonathan administration not
only increased access to education, the policy also had the intended side
effect of putting hundreds of thousands of youths to work which
stimulated the economy and contributed to GDP growth. Are these not
infrastructure?
To prove that former President Jonathan prudently and judiciously
developed all parts of Nigeria, I will now list, state by state, the
infrastructure that the Jonathan administration invested in every state of
Nigeria.
I challenge President Muhammadu Buhari to contradict me. In Abia,
Jonathan completed power plants in Aba and Alaoji and reconstructed
and reopened Ohafia barracks to stem kidnapping. In Adamawa Jonathan
constructed 5 Almajiri schools and the NAF Comprehensive Sec School
and a Terminal at the Yola airport.

Owerri Rd and kick started the process of the 2nd Niger Bridge. In Akwa

In Bauchi Jonathan equipped the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching
Hospital Bauchi and built 5 Almajiri schools. In Benue Jonathan is

In Borno, Jonathan has fought desertification with the Great Green Wall
Project and rehabilitated the Uba – Mbalala Road. He also set up the
Presidential Initiative for the Northeast and the Victims Support Fund
which raised ₦59 billion for the Northeast. Interestingly, it is from this PINE
that a certain Babachir Lawal is accused of pilfering ₦270 million from.
In Cross River Jonathan rehabilitated the Margaret Ekpo Int’l Airport and
Modernised the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital.
In Delta Jonathan has taken Itakpe-Ajaokuta-warri railway to 80%
completion and kick started the $16B Gas City Project at Ogidigben
In Ebonyi Jonathan established the Fed University in Ndufe – Alike,
repaired over 250km of roads and built power substations.
In Edo Jonathan completed the Ihovbor power Station, reconstructed the
Benin-Ore-Sagamu and equipped UBTH. In Ekiti Jonathan established the
Federal University in Oye – Ekiti, and repaired hundreds of kilometers of
Federal Rds.
In Enugu Jonathan gave the S. East their first International Airport and
revived the PH-Enugu rail line.

built 5 Almajiri schools. In Imo Jonathan rehabilitated the Sam Mbakwe

Pele. Trying to console urself ba?

As at the new dispensation, even the FG was owing salary for months!

There was no recession, yet the govt couldnt make ends meet!?


With the kind of earnings we had during the IB's tenure, our sovereign wealth should have been astronomical and Bubu shouldnt/wouldnt even have been a credible opponent!

All other Buhari e-rats tht normally supports him on this forum have deserted him & I can see u are the last man standing, which means u earn double of what lie Mohammed paid u ppl to defend grandpa online.
Buhari will never match jonathans achievements even if he rules for decades.
Swallow ur pride & accept those jonathan's achievements with all pleasure coz it pained u buhari the grandpa hasn't accomplished one single of his campaign promises.
N/B
Dont include Boko haram defeat as achievement because boko boys are buhari pet project & he has decided to extinguish it because he is in power now & I know he could always bring them back when another president comes in if the north is oppressed but not to worry because by then there might still be no one Nigeria.

Guy there are so many lies on the list.

Jonathan never built new power plant he was re-commissioning projects that were completed in the 80's.

Jonathan didn't build UBTH road it was oshimole project.

Jonathan left $2 billion in excess crude account but he meet $20 billion even though he sold oil at a higher price that those who saved the money.

Jonathan left $26 billion in foreign reserve but he met over $50 billion.

Jonathan didn't complete Abuja Kaduna railway, part of the money for completion of the project was in 2016 budget.

Zungeru power plant? What was fashola signing just last week? The project just started dear.

FYI, we expected A lot from Jonathan's government but he messed up completely.

Let me tell you the reason he has so many uncompleted projects. It's simple because of the 40% extra the contractor will collect and once they get the money they abandon the project.

Too much lies in this write up and I can't just waste my time on this fake thing.

Ability to say the truth, no matter how bad it hurt your earlier disposition is a virtue only true leaders posses.
Jonathan may be clueless but he did his best and to be honest, he was on course to change Nigeria history of development, especially in human capital development and social enterprise.
Buhari is trying his best but we all know his best dipped the country into immeasurable hunger and hardship. Accept it or not.

Is this because his best would determine the global oil price that provide 90% of government revenue? Or is it because buhari would diversify the economy in 1 and half years?

Well for me I think you should judge them base on what was at their disposal and the time frame they spent in office.
