Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State made a bold statement on Monday, pointing fingers at former President Muhammadu Buhari for the current economic struggles faced by Nigerians. During the swearing-in ceremony of 22 Special Advisers and heads of government agencies at the Government House in Jos, Mutfwang did not hold back in his criticism.
He specifically accused Buhari of leaving the country’s economy in shambles for his successor, President Bola Tinubu. Mutfwang claimed that the previous administration had recklessly printed money amounting to N30tn and distributed it without a second thought. Furthermore, he highlighted the dire situation of selling off crude oil reserves that had not even been extracted yet, essentially mortgaging the country’s future.
In a straightforward manner, Mutfwang emphasized that the plummeting value of the naira was a direct consequence of the irresponsible economic decisions made by the previous administration. He did not mince words in stating, “We sold our future under the last administration.”
These accusations have sparked a heated debate among Nigerians, with many questioning the validity of Mutfwang’s claims. As the country grapples with economic challenges, the blame game continues to intensify, leaving citizens uncertain about the future.
The governor’s bold statements have reignited discussions about the state of Nigeria’s economy and the accountability of past leaders. As the nation strives to recover from financial turmoil, the words of Governor Mutfwang serve as a stark reminder of the importance of responsible governance and economic stewardship.
As the world watches closely, the spotlight remains on Nigeria and its journey towards economic stability and prosperity. The echoes of Mutfwang’s accusations reverberate beyond the borders of the nation, prompting global observers to ponder the complexities of governance and economic management in a rapidly changing world.
