Buhari Inherits An Empty Treasury And Huge Debt

                                          

President Buhari assumed office yesterday in the Presidential Villa.  He addressed the State House correspondents that the immediate former president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan left an empty treasury for him and huge debts which run into millions of dollars. Buhari however pleaded with Journalists to please be fair on his administration and watch closely. He said it is so disgraceful for the country for owing workers salary both at the State and Federal level. He however promised to do his best to revive the situation.

“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 Journalists.

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.
