I Left $30bn In The Treasury For You, Jonathan Replies Buhari by papoose999(m): 6:38am On Jun 24, 2015 |
Barely hours after President Buhari cried out that he inherited virtually an empty treasury from former President Jonathan, the latter has fired back saying he handed over $30 billion to Buhari. Immediate past Minister/Deputy Chairman of the National Planning Commission (NPC), Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Sulaiman who spoke for the Jonathan administration said the $30b left in the treasury was in addition to the $2 billion left in the Excess Crude Account as at May 29. Sulaiman, in a statement he personally signed in Abuja, today warned that Jonathan must not be criminalized under the guise of playing politics, even as he described Buhari's claim as “unscientific and unfair.” According to him “The immediate past administration left behind close to US$30billion in its Foreign Reserve. So, how does the question of an empty treasury arrive? In the Excess Crude Account, we left behind US$2billion as at May 29. And the sum would have been higher if not for the governors' insistence on sharing it. “The government can't tell us that there is no Excess Crude Account (ECA), Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) or are we saying the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIR) and related agencies had not in the last one month been generating revenue? “Until they are able to prove they had no receipts from these government agencies in the last one month before Nigerians can now buy into Mr. President's claims of an empty treasury. “Money made by government is meant to be spent, and this the immediate past administration did responsibly. Every government, even in the so-called western world, including the US which today remains one of the largest debtor nations in the world, government operates on deficit. “Is it not on record that President Obama inherited US$3 trillion debt, a collapsed banking sector and mortgage industry, yet he never raised any alarm. None of these has happened in Nigeria under Jonathan. “Under Jonathan, Nigeria became the largest Africa economy and 26th in the world amidst deadly security challenges and dwindling international prices of oil. In spite of all these, the Federal Government never owed salaries. “Upon inception of Jonathan's administration, it is on record that the price of oil at the global stage was over $100 per barrel and at the close of the administration, it dropped to $46. Yet, there wasn't collapse of government and federal civil servants were paid as at when due.” He said it was a “disgrace that Nigeria cannot pay salaries of its workforce.” link: www.nigeriannation.com/news/i-left-30bn-in-the-treasury-for-you-jonathan-replies-buhari.aspx cc lalasticlala barcanista seun 3 Likes |

Questions for APC and Buhari.... The money they gave out to military to fight boko haram was it from their pocket? The money they want to give to senators for wardrobe allowance, is it from their pocket? The money Buhari has been using for tours and using to feed his cows,is it from their pocket? I thought it is only during campaign that politicians lie? We know PDP are thieves but now APC seem to be thieves and liars. 26 Likes 1 Share |

rhymz said Buhari's constant knack for excuses and lack of direction is beginning to get everyone worried, he obviously was not prepared from the on set, he has been struggling to even form a cabinet, most of the decisions he has been making lately obviously shows a man that is gripping in the dark and looking for excuses to explain his failures just in case it happens.

You guys are spewing rubbish. Here are links to some of the publications of the money borrowed by FG to pay salaries. If they had all that money, how come they borrowed money to pay salaries? They were all published on the 6th of May 2015: http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/182543-nigerian-govt-borrowing-billions-to-pay-salaries-okonjo-iweala.html http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/05/06/fg-borrows-n473bn-to-pay-salaries-okonjo-iweala/ http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/nigeria-borrows-to-pay-salaries-with-cash-crunch-worsening/ http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/05/150506055148505.html Okojo Iweala made the revelation on the 6 May 2015. So, the question is, how come, all of a sudden, they are claiming that they left $30billion and another $2billion in the government coffers? 8 Likes 1 Share |
