In an Interview with Frisky Larr, Obasanjo said, “When I assumed office in 1999, I inherited $3.7 billion in reserve, while Buhari met $30 billion, almost 10 times of what I met then, and the price of oil then was $9. When it got to $20, I was dancing.
“I know the price is down now and with time, it will jump up again. What Buhari is doing currently is preparing ground for Nigeria to take advantage when it goes up again,” he maintained.

BABA, ON WHOSE SIDE ARE U ?
ReplyDeleteOn the side of truth,how did he use an empty accnt to pay all federal government workers, service the presidential jets, renovate the aso rock in the same month he assumed office...with an empty account, it is either Buhari think Nigerians have lost their mind or him(buhari) has lost his mind
DeleteMr, Baba is at the side of truth this time....
DeletePDP said it when handing over that they left $30B.... Dey didn't pay fuel subsidies.... Wia is the money?
Now, APC is saying dey met empty treasury.
Obasanjo is a neutral person, he must be saying the truth. He is neither in PDP nor APC.... And he is in the position to know the truth.
DeleteEnter your comment...Buhari is a liar.
ReplyDeleteWhen an elderly man like buhari starts lying on national television, you have to realise that Nigeria is very unsafe. Also when a new tenant moves into a flat vacated by another tenant and falsely claims that the water heater is not there, it means he has appropriated it. I hope this is the case about the 30 billion. Hmmmmm. Change indeed.
ReplyDeleteIs lying a form of kwaruption?
ReplyDeleteIs plagerism a form of kwaruption?
Therefore, change should begin with who?
How was the amount it seems they are now claiming they did not inherit spent?
Perhaps, Gorilla Oshio should know something about because he is the champion of governors fighting for money to share during the last administration. With their man there your guess is as good as mine.
I foresse a lot of probe coming in Nigeria.
Enter your reply...isiaka a claim to be a jos, u'll soon die of hunger. i know u well, because selfish and religious politic u are claimin dat the country is in the right derection.
DeleteEnglish- F9. Ba Turenci. How come you are abusing Isiaka? You don't understand English.
DeleteAm happy someone of authority is pointing out dis fact.
ReplyDeleteYou people will expose it all by yourselves for yourselves because we know the truth. It's left for you people to tell yourselves d truth.
Baba,I like you for one thing,BLUNTNESS. APC,have you people heard it? You can still go ahead with your lies, nobody is stopping you people. Even though Gej was and still very soft to some issues but at least,he deserves some commendations.
ReplyDeleteIf buhari meets $30B, & still, he's complaining, we shall see what he will leave after his tenure. If he will not leave at least min x3 of $30B then the next government need arrest him and his ajia that is carrying bag of millions of naira.
ReplyDeleteHe is saving all the money he has forced out and still forcing out of all those that opposed him in the last election
DeleteI'm still wondering if Buhari will allow INEC conduct election come 2019. Cos for me I am sick and fed up with Buhari. If after months in office he's still lying and complaining about the past administration. I wonder when he will start working for the country. I'm just waiting for election so he can be sent back to Daura to continue with his farming. Lying old baba go slow.
ReplyDeleteHmm i tire for lai lai people
ReplyDeleteEnter your comment...Haba buhari how on earth cn someone believe that u met an empty treasury.hmm obasanjo have said the true fact.
ReplyDeleteJust study their names and see where they come got you will know why they are anti buhari . Buhari has come to rule and prepare to outbid with him for 7 more years or go into the abyss if you can't stand him
ReplyDeleteOba of Lagos has predicted where igbos and three supporters will end- Osa straight.
Buhari + APC = Liars & Deceivers
ReplyDeleteBuhari has a knack for always trying to drive home his hatred for his predecessor with superlatives, with the result of inadvertently exposing his leadership weaknesses. Too much bile against another invariably turns back at you. Buhari's change should start from offloading his loathsomeness against Jonathan. It blinds his decision-making faculties.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm. How much did GEJ inherit from Yaradua? Your guess is as good as mine with $30b in Diezani private account, $15b Dasuki gate, $15m in Patience Jona account and the list is endless.
ReplyDeleteWe shall know truth and the truth shall set us free. Nigeria is on the path of true freedom come 2019. We shall go for Change Buhari to positive Change. Ba wahala!
DeleteWe shall know the truth, and the truth shall set us free. Nigeria is on the path of freedom come 2019 when we shall go for Change Buhari to Positive Change. Ba wahala!

DeletePls talk if u have something to say or keep quit..did Jonathan tell anyone he met empty accnt?...Pls shut up
DeleteAnything could be said by anybody but the country's interest should be paramount. The way these Nigeria landlords are taking Nigerians for granted is funny.
ReplyDeleteIf GEJ's govt had $30bn, he wouldn't be looking for money to buy arms to fight BH. Old age is worrying baba
ReplyDeleteFirst class ode, how come Jonathan forgot that arms money was with uncle dasuki. Olodo first class
Delete$30 billion dollars in Nigerian Treasury with how much in private accounts of politicians? which means some individuals were richer than Nigeria courtesy of Corruption.
ReplyDeletesentiment had really blind you and make you lost your sense of reasoning. In fact, somebody like you is a ridicule to image of hausa people, you better change yourself and face the reality and also tell your buhari to stop his shenanigans.
