The Minister of State Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva has blamed the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the worsening economic situation in the country, saying his party, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was confronted with what it does not expect when it took over power in 2015.

Speaking on Channels Television programme ‘Politics Today’ monitored by DAILY INDEPENDENT, Sylva said the PDP government under former President Goodluck Jonathan handed over a broken economy to President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 but pretended as if all was well with the economy.

He added that President Buhari has achieved more than any government in the country despite the challenges of recession, falling oil price and COVID-19 pandemic which almost wiped off a year in the four-year term of the administration.

“If you really look around, you will agree with me that we have achieved a lot as a government. We have achieved much more than any government, I can say. Of course, we’ve had our problem. No government had gone through COVID that almost wiped out a whole year”.

“When we came in, we inherited an economy that was on one leg, then we got into recession, then, of course, oil price crashed. What we inherited was like broken china. Somebody broke the china and arranged it very well on the table as if it wasn’t broken”.
“So, you came into the room and you thought it was china on the table, you tried to pick it up and it just fell into pieces in your hands. Who broke it or was it already broken?”

“That was the kind of economy we inherited. We inherited an economy that was already broken, we tried to pick up the economy and it scattered in our hands”.

Sylva also expressed confidence that most of the projects that President Buhari couldn’t complete in his second term will be inherited by another APC government in 2023.

“It will be continued by any other government, but expectedly an APC government. You know I am a politician and I will tell you that most likely, it will be an APC government. Which other party is more popular than APC? We have 23 states and more governors are coming".

Rubbish talk..
Till now, this incompetent government have failed to take responsibilities instead they keep playing blame games.. Shame!

Will there be anything for Buhari to handover in 2023?

the fool is a fool,fooling his fools,thinking he is fooling everybody,without knowing he is fooling himself.
APC and blame game,Bmcs quote me at your own peril.

This is no news as it is obvious to reasonable minds that we've being living on fragile economy over the years.

Still same dumb excuses after 6 years
Shame!

which means you agreed with what the man said. BMC 30K crew spotted

Aufbauh:
This is no news

Story as usual.

Next is for APC and Bihari's apologists to blame the second world war for the woos their directionless governance has brought upon helpless innocent Nigerians.

APC Yahoo yahoo party

Rubbish talk coming out of a rubbish man..... Jonathan's broken economy is Bubu's wall of Jericho if u know u know

1. Yar adua left $62b for Jonathan. Jonathan left $33b for Buhari.


2. Yar adua left oil price of crude at $100 for Jonathan. Jonathan left it at $40 for Buhari. ( not Jonathan's fault)


3. When Jonathan became president, all states were paying salaries, when he left, 27 States couldn't pay salaries.


4. When Yar adua died, GDP growth was over 9%, by the time the Zoologist left in 2015, he had already destroyed the GDP down to 2.5%

So yes, Buhari inherited a damaged economy. In fact, losing the 2015 election was a huge relief for Dr Clueless, the economy would have been so bad that the military would have intervene and scuttle our democracy.

You jump into conclusion like someone who is slow and inept.
My comment that 'this is no news' is supportive rather than your inept conclusion of antagonism.

I believe that if you're afforded the privilege of this ur almighty 'BMC 30k' you'll go to church for testimony.

Nah so dem dey lie to the extend that bmcs zombies see black colour as white.

Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no president has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.

It is unarguable that the president arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria.Yes,a recession cabinet.

Buhari is the only Nigerian president that has presided over the country under multiple recessions. As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari.

As if Buhari cluelessness started today.Guess these band of senile clueless dumbasses that congregated in this irresponsibile government need to be banish from planet earth for this nauseating blame game trait.So disgusting of a people.

No president can match Jonathan in terms of sorrow and agony. He and his useless Poverty Development Party created Boko haram, Bandits, Kidnappers. Fulani herdsmen killings excalated on their watch.

I will never condemn or criticize president Goodluck Jonathan because president Obasanjo was handed the worst economy that was totally bastardized for almost 15 straight years of non stop looting by the military but he rolled up his sleeves and got to work.
I'm 100% sure what Jonathan handed over to Gen Buhari cant be as worse as that which President Obasanjo inherited.
I keep saying it's about time we draw a line in the Sand for these APC people,we must stop comparing president Goodluck and Gen Buhari's tenure,rather compare Gen Buhari first and second terms.
For example in my area during Gen Buhari first term a bottle of groundnut oil sold for 400, now during his second term it's 800.
That's a better comparism

This evil administration will blame everyone except themselves. I'm very sure this yeye minister dey chop gbana.



Very useless & shameless set of people.

Mumu talk

Resist the urge to shalaye. So your clueless senile darling daddy no get anything for upstairs to save the economy than to borrow, borrow and borrow.

APC miscreants think say na everybody mumu like them.


Thunderstorm strike y'all.

I was telling my friend that this man has grown mature politically base on his behavior after APC loss in Bayelsa and the way he relates with the governor not knowing that his stupidity is inherent,
After 6 years you still blaming the former government when your government is borrowing everyday from China, India, world bank,Afdb,IMF and of recent from Obi Cubana.
If you can not impregnate your wife it's Jonathan's fault, your preeek can not stand it's Jonathan's fault.



Nonsense artifacts.

Una fada there,
Mr Lifeless is nothing but a Terminator anything he touches terminate.

You see...

All the actions Buhari took that caused the economy to tank are all well documented

incompetent buhari always putting blame at Peter's door

the way the elderly spit out rubbish this days is alarming. Like whose job is then to fix the so called bad economy. This damn president promised changed and alota things. How many has he delivered?!

The poor memories of a dumb BMC... I'm not surprised. In 2015, Nigeria was the 3rd largest growing economy in the world! The lies and deceit you people try to spin doed nothing to hide the truth. That Buhari, APC and all their supporters do not deserve to have an existence.

Abba Kyari is a stupid useless idiot!

Was it not the same reason he took up the task to fix the economy?
