You did not empty the treasury, you almost did...you supervised the nation's most brazen pilferage of our commonwealth. Even Abacha would bow to you in awe! I blame the West for trying to carve on a rotten wood; nothing they say will change the fact that Jona was a certified kleptomaniac who set the stage for our current quagmire.

"NEWS
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari, over his 365 days of economic cluelessness and non performance, adding that integrity alone does not put food on the table of the common man.
Tinubu, stated this through the Nation Newspaper Editorial Chairman, Sam Omatseye, in a column titled, “When the bell rings twice” dated Monday, May 30, 2016.
He lamented that the poor are getting poorer, with no single kilometre of road tarred, coupled with the ravaging Niger Delta Militants.
Tinubu’s outburst came at a time when the Buhari-led federal government is gradually losing popularity amidst excruciating economic downturn.
Post-Nigeria had reported that it took the urgent intervention of Tinubu to halt the three days strike embarked upon by the Ayuba Wabba-led faction of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.
The sudden intervention by the ‘Jagaban’ to end the strike without seeking clearance, had angered the presidency, thereby prompting Buhari to quickly call off his proposed visit to Tinubu’s home state, Lagos allegedly.
While reacting to Buhari’ s democracy day speech, through Sam Omatseye, the former Lagos State Governor berated Buhari for the myriad of problems confronting the nation.
He said: “Not Many thought the first year of Muhammadu Buhari would look like this. The pump price of petrol at 145, the naira at 350 to a dollar, not a single road tarred, the 2016 Budget in baby steps, no minister has received a tranche for work, salary backlogs now a routine, herdsmen as killer squads, Biafra on the rampage, Niger Delta brigands reborn, a Labour strike, the President has only visited one state on official trip, his plane has landed on four continents, the change mantra muted.
“Yet, if you go to the streets, there is no rage or less rage or impotent rage, but a sense of paralysis. The average Nigerian, including those who did not vote for Buhari, are not willing to pelt indignation. They feel poor, even poorer. Power that spewed out radiance in the first few months of his administration has returned to its habitual epilepsy. Jobs? Where are they? The welfare scheme and food for students? Not on the cards today”.
Explaining the hardship that an average Nigerian is passing through, Tinubu added, “Many cannot pay rents, many squeeze out meals, wards cannot face their principals for lack of fees.
“Patience is tested everywhere. Those who are asking for it, are also being asked for it. Yet, Buhari is Teflon, rising somewhat above popular anger.
“Much of it, ironically, can be attributed to Buhari himself. The people at the hem are not yet angry with the man at the helm”.
The APC chieftain affirmed that Buhari has only turned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, into a vault of revelations.
“This man stole that, that smaller man stole that bigger sum. The newspapers became headlines of statistical horror of billions of naira and dollar,” Tinubu mocked.
He added: “All the peacock men in the Jonathan era, who suffused us with righteous rhetoric, of brokered ethnicity and marketed shoelessness, have become the fingers of impunity or retreated into priestly or pastoral silences.
“Perhaps for the first time since independence, we have an elected president whose finger is not suspected of pecuniary mischief. He might have flown to Asia, Europe and the United States, and slept in the luxury of jets and high-flown hotels. He is not in any suggestion of a narrative of stealing.
“We also know that integrity is good, but no matter how good, it will not put food on the table. There lies the moral dilemma of the Buhari era so far”.

You met about $50Billion in the reserve, sold crude oil 2.2barrels/day at average of $100/barrel for five years and instead of having increased reserve, you left $29Billion, yet no "critical" infrastructures on ground to substantiate the unfortunate situation ...those who knw arithmetic will agree with me that since what u left is just a meager fraction of what you are supposed to have left..............You simply left "almost" an empty treasury judging by this scenario.

No job, no light, no money, no food, no security, no water, 145 fuel shattered, economy & rampaging herdsman.

what are you saying. What is physical infrastructure. You mismanaged power, he sold it. You mismanage nitel, he sold it. You mismanage refinery, he wanted to sell it. What infrastructure should he have built that you could manage? He decided to engage the private sector and encouraged a good number of them through youwin and you called it a scam. He introduced sure-p which played a great role in the health sector, education, electrification, road infrastructure and sme empowerment.
He also introduced tetfund which changed the face of our tertiary institution. Not to mention Fadama2, yes, IDP rehabilitation and sustenance. All there were done with money and Every money spent by his administration can be seen around you. The poorest of the poor could see it. Why cant you see it.
That your best candidate has not performed upto the half of goodluck performance shouldn't make you pained about what you hear about goodluck. It should make you pressurise your president to at least, meet the standard of goodluck.

Goodluck didnt left us an empty treasury. He left us a semi full treasury by his business development strategy which expanded the tax base of the nation. Our tax is able to run the Nigeria economy. Thanks to GEJ.

Nigeria is splitting, igbos taking the side of Jonathan and hausa taking the taking buhari's side. I'm happy we yoruba are not falling for jonathan's cheap lies. Patience Jonathan was the president and not goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan caused all these problem we are facing, he's the cause and presently he's still secretly trying to ruined buhari's government for his selfish interest. As far as I'm concerned buhari is a good man, the man we want, the man we need. I'm not taking sides of either igbo or hausa, I'm a yoruba who only quests for good government. Buhari is the man. So I advice people talking trash to better keep their stnking mouth shot, as they're not smart enough to identify the better government, or might be trying to be bias. Long life buhari

Is a pity how people quickly take side with politicians in Nigeria, See how people are celebrating Jonathan and Co that ought to be stoned to death.

If 0=f and 29=f, what's the difference between 0 and 29 ?

He didn't leave empty treasury but we want to borrow money to implement budget, where did those people returning their money get it from ?
How much was oil selling in his regime and how much did he save ?
It seems this man is not in agreement with his finance minister or he already knows how ignorant some Nigerians are due to religion, partisanship and ethnicity.

Why won't government officials misbehaving and empty our treasury when they know huge number of the citizen are blinded by ethnicity and religion.


Jonathan highlighted his significant achievements in office, pointing to the peaceful transfer of power to President Buhari as the most remarkable.

How can conceding defeat be someone's greatest achievement ?

In Jonathan's language, Athletico Madrid is a Hero for conceding defeat against Real Madrid.

Heartless thief, murderer of Nigerian soldiers, The destroyer of our economy .....................

This GEJ will not stop surprising me, when he took over leadership our foreign reserve was $42billion and when he was leaving it was $2billion, for 6 years even though his regime experienced the highest crude oil price ever recorded in Nigeria he did not add even a single dollar to d reserve. So he wants tthe account balance to read zero not $2billion before he agrees that he left zero account in a country of 170 million people.No wonder his PhD is questionable.

how much was spent on insurgency?, GEJ would have achieved more if not for the distraction. APC should bend down and work instead of using the ideas of the executiive arm of govt who are only good at executing excuses.

Can GEJ compare the 'fullness' of the treasury he received in 2010 to the 'fullness' of the treasury he bequeathed to PMB?

I suppose if Buhari grounds Nigeria's foreign reserves to say $2billion by 2019 and hands over that sum for a country of 180 million people, Buhari should also go around and brag about how he didn't leave an empty treasury. Too many intellectual toddlers abound in Nigeria who are intellectually challenged to discern the simple meaning of 'virtually empty,' else GEJ wouldn't be making such a pointless statement one year after.
