Jonathan Left An Empty Treasury And Huge Debt For Me- Buhari

President Buhari yesterday at his first day at work in the Presidential Villa has told State House correspondents that the immediate former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan left an empty treasury for him coupled with huge debts which run into millions of dollars. Buhari however pleaded with Journalists to please be fair on his administration and watch closely. He also spoke about workers not been paid at the State and Federal level saying it is disgraceful beyond words. He however promised to do his best to revive the situation. What he said;


“This culture of 100 days (in office) is bringing so much pressure with treasury virtually empty; with debts in millions of dollars; with state workers and even federal workers not being paid their salaries. This is such a disgrace for Nigeria. I think Nigeria should be in a position to at least pay its workers. This bad management that we find ourselves in, we really need your help to protect us from people before they march on us,” he told Jurnalists.


Speaking on the appointment of Femi Adesina, as his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, the president said;


“It is not by accident that I got one of your best   colleagues (to be the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity); one of the 15 aides I had to get clearance from the Senate. He is one of the best that I can have as special advisers. I brought one of the best of you so that he can consistently defend me against you. Whether my job is a difficult or easy one; it is up to him but I am here to thank you in advance for what good and ill you are going to do to me,” he said.
