ABUJA – THE immediate past Minister/Deputy Chairman National Planning Commission (NPC) Dr. Abubakar Olanrewaju Sulaiman, Tuesday faulted claims by President Muhammadu Buhari that his administration met an empty treasury.
Suleiman said the former administration as at May 29 left behind the sum of US$2billion, adding that the sum would have been higher if not the governors insistence on sharing the fund.

He warned that the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan must not be criminalized and painted a plunderer and looter of the nation’s treasury before the generality of Nigerians.
The clarification was in response to the President’s statement during an interactive session with journalists in Abuja, where he was quoted to have said that his government met “virtually an empty treasury.”
President Buhari reportedly said that it was adding a disgrace that Nigeria cannot pay salaries of its workforce.
Expressing his dismay over the President’s statement, Sulaiman in a statement in Abuja described the report as “unscientific and unfair”, stressing that the immediate past administration “left behind close to US$30billion.”
He said, “Government can’t tell us that there is no Excess Crude Account(ECA), Sovereign Wealth Fund(SWF) or are we saying the Federal Inland Revenue Service(FIR) and related agencies had not in the last one month been generating revenue?
“Until they are able to prove they had no receipts from these government agencies in the last one month before Nigerians can now buy into Mr. President’s claims of an empty treasury.”
He recalled that under the Jonathan’s administration,Nigeria was rated the largest economy in Africa and 26th largest in the world, querying how come such a government would leave behind an empty treasury.
He said”Money made by government is meant to be spent, and this the immediate past administration did responsibly. Every government, even in the so-called western world, including the US which today remains one of the largest debtor nations in the world, government operates on deficit.
“Is it not on record that President Obama inherited US$3 triillion debt, a collapsed banking sector and mortgage industry,yet he never raised any alarm. None of these has happened in Nigeria under Jonathan.
“Under Jonathan,Nigeria became the largest Africa economy and 26th in the world amidst deadly security challenges and dwindling international prices of oil. In spite of all these, the FG never owed salary.
“Upon inception of Jonatha’s administration, it is on record that the price of oil at the global stage was over 100 dollars per barrel and at the close of the administration, it dropped to 46dollars. Yet, there wasn’t collapse of government and federal civil servants were paid as at when due.
“It will be misleading therefore for our respected President Muhammadu Buhari and indeed the ruling APC to claim to have met an empty treasury.”
He further reminded the new government that “aspiration to governance is a call of meeting and confronting challenges headlong. So, we urge the APC-led government to hit the ground running as promised Nigerians by confronting the challenges.
“We are not in doubt of the capability of Mr. President to do it. He should therefore get to business, put in place structures and personnel to redeem the pledges made to the Nigeria.”

Do you know that in 2010, this criminal met $6.2 Billion
dollars in our excess crude account. READ HOW HE STOLE
THIS MONEY!! *Late President Yaradua inherited that part
of savings for Nigeria from President Obasanjo. Here was
how Jonathan emptied that account. 1-He struck a deal with
Bukola Saraki's led Governors forum in 2 fronts. To seek
their support to become acting president/president *Desolve
Yaradua's cabinet & *Empty the access crude account with
balance of $6.2 Billion and share the money. In response
and being a cash cow with no love for Nigeria only for his &
his wife's selfish interest emptied our treasury to become
the president even though not competent. *Dumbo
Jonathan immediately shared our savings and distributed $
3 billion dollars to Governors against the constitution of the
federal Republic of Nigeria. *The balance of that $6.2 billion
was now in his hands after he had signed off our money to
be used to bribe the Governors in return for their support to
become the President of Nigeria. Interestingly the only
Governor who rejected Jonathan with our stolen money was
his own brother, then Governor Timipre Sylva of Bayelsa
state. Sylva's blackmail till today by Jonathan was that
singular objection of Jonathan to become the president
simply because he felt that Jonathan was highly
incompetent and still is to have been allowed to run Nigeria.
The consequences of that rejection of Jonathan to run
Nigeria is what will continue to hunt each and every
Nigerian who voted for this criminal in 2011. *The $3.2
Billion dollars of our money now in the hands of Jonathan
after bribing the Governors with our $ 3 Billion Dollars part
of the $6.2 billion dollars was used by him to buy the 2011
Presidential Election which as you could recall, he was
sharing $5000 dollars to each of the 3050 PDP party
delegates during the PDP convention in 2010. Does this not
smark you of a man whose purpose was not in the interest
of your future as a Nation but a calculated move to
successfully bankcrupt Nigeria which he executed to the
letter. After this rogue emptied our treasury, he then began
borrowing Nigeria to stupor with excessive toxic loans
which the repayment period runs between 40 and 45 years
with stiff repayment conditions should there be any regular
repayment default in repaying the debts. NEXT STOP WAS
HOW HE NEARLLY SOLD NIGERIA ON EBAY. PLS READ
AND TELL OTHERS THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE TO IT
THAT JONATHAN FACE PROSECUTION OR ELSE, PMB HAS
HIMSELF TO BLAME

Wow ... The Daura President is now a liar .....

Guess he learned one or two things from Lai Mohammed

Thank you for the clarification. I knew the 'dogo yaro' was lying though. We asked for the certificate but they said it doesnt matter. This is the result, the birth of real and raw 'cluelessness'.

Thanks for the clarification cos Buhari has been sounding off-key since assuming office.

He warned that the former President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan must not be criminalized and painted a plunderer and looter of the nation’s treasury before the
generality of Nigerians.

Nobody needs to criminalize your party. A criminal is a criminal, period. The reconciliatory nature of Buhari may be his undoing. Criminals are beginning to assert themselves to the detriment of the nation.

Coming from a former minister of national planning, I can only shake my head in shame. With people like this planning for GEJ, failure is an inevitable result. No point wondering why GEJ failed so woefully.

For the records, the consolidated revenue fund represent the federal governments treasury and as at the time Buhari took over, it was empty. Excess crude account, sovereign wealth fund and the federal reserve does not belong to the federal government. It belongs to the federation and the federation comprises of the federal, state and local government.
