Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has blamed the previous Muhammadu Buhari administration for the current economic hardships faced by Nigerians.
According to the governor, Buhari was in charge of printing and allocating almost N30 trillion.
At the Government House in Jos on Monday, Mutfwang made these assertions while preside over the swearing-in ceremony of 22 Special Advisers and leaders of government agencies.

He said that during Buhari’s leadership, the country’s economy was in terrible shape for Tinubu, who succeeded him.
“We are at a very difficult juncture in the history of this country, and I’m an advocate that after the election you forget politics and face governance,” Mutfwang said.
“And even though the Federal Government is being led by a party other than my own, I owe you the duty to tell Nigerians the truth that this government inherited a worse situation than 1999.
“This government inherited an economy where we simply printed money up to the tune of N30tn and shared.
“This government inherited an economy where the crude oil we’re yet to take out of the ground had been sold in advance.
“So, when you’re talking about the fall of the naira, it’s not rocket science. We sold our future under the last administration.

“No wonder you’re hearing of riots today, people intercepting food on the way. We are lucky on the plateau that perhaps we have more food than many other states.
“And I pray that the time will not come on the Plateau that we will see this kind of riot for food, but it means we must roll up our sleeves and get to work.
“And that is why, for us as a government, when we announced one of the positions that talked about food security, people were laughing, but it is a serious issue.”
