President Buhari Paid Petrol Subsidy As Military Head Of State 1984 To 1985 by paycorrect(op): 2:14pm On Apr 23, 2016
This is from the horse's mouth

When I was military Head of State, the IMF and the World Bank wanted us devalue the Naira and remove petrol subsidy but I stood my grounds for the good of Nigeria.

That man is nothing but a lying basterd and a fooli5h robber. He paid subsidy after building fake ineffectual and non performing refineries. This man should be rotting in a dungeon somewhere. He is the biggest thief in nigeria, yet he is allowed to walk freely like he owns the country. Posterity will judge him, and all those leeches he calls children will pay for his crimes.

This is the height of hypocrisy and nepotism. More reason someone hating on this man shouldn't be vilified.

But on national television, one senile kunu sipping president suffering from amnesia and diarrhea of the mouth told Nigerians that he doesn't know what fuel subsidy means.

Goodness gracious! Anybody that will connect integrity or any form of uprightness to this man ehn...!!! See how a so called elder lied and scraped and encouraged and participated in every form of illegality just to become president and myopic bigots/fools fell cheaply...

I can't wait to see how dem Voltrons (Defenders of Buhari) will twist this one to mean that he did not really know or refer to petrol subsidy yet he was asking 'Who is subsidizing who?' and eejits were lapping it up!

The naira weakened slightly against the dollar at the parallel market on Friday as it exchanged at N321 to the dollar. Also President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said that his reason for insisting on no further devaluation of Naira was that the recent ones never paid Nigeria any good.

The Nigerian currency lost N1 to the dollar from N320 rate on Wednesday. The naira also fell against the pound sterling and the Euro on Friday to N452 and N362, respectively from their previous rates of N450 and N360. The naira still maintained N197 to the dollar at the official CBN segment of the market. Traders said that activities in the market were still low due to late implementation of the 2016 budget.buhari-Naira They said that the budget would indicate the direction of the economy in 2016.

Also President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said that his reason for insisting on no further devaluation of Naira was that the recent ones never paid Nigeria any good. The president who spoke while meeting with members of the Council of Retired Federal Permanent Secretaries, led by Otunba Christopher Tugbobo at the presidential villa, Abuja stated that he was yet to be convinced by anyone on doing the contrary.

“When I was military Head of State, the IMF and the World Bank wanted us devalue the Naira and remove petrol subsidy but I stood my grounds for the good of Nigeria. “The Naira remained strong against the Dollar and other foreign currencies until I was removed from office in August, 1985 and it was devalued. “But how many factories were built and how many jobs were created by the devaluation? “That is why I’m still asking to be convinced today on the benefits of devaluation,” he said.

President Buhari also accepted the Council’s pledge of support for the successful implementation of his administration’s change agenda, especially in the priority areas of improving security, curbing corruption and revitalizing the national economy. “I am glad you have rightly identified the key issues we campaigned on. “We need a dynamic bureaucracy which will not mislead us into taking wrong decisions,” the President said.

The Council of Retired Federal Permanent Secretaries was established in 2004 to serve as a platform for retired permanent secretaries to offer constructive advice to government on key policy issues. Also speaking, the Pioneer Chairman of the Council, Chief Philip Asiodu said that members of the council want the present Administration to succeed, stressing that Nigeria had already lost many opportunities for progress. “We are non-partisan. The interest of Nigeria is paramount to us and we are anxious that you should succeed,” Chief Asiodu told the President.
