Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State recently made allegations that the current economic challenges faced by Nigerians are a result of the previous administration led by Muhammadu Buhari.
During the swearing-in ceremony of 22 Special Advisers and heads of government agencies, Governor Mutfwang claimed that Buhari supervised the printing and distribution of approximately N30 trillion.
According to Governor Mutfwang, this action has left the country's economy in a terrible state for his successor, President Tinubu.
He emphasized the need to prioritize governance over politics after elections.
Despite being from a different political party than the federal government, Governor Mutfwang felt compelled to speak the truth about the dire economic situation inherited by the current administration.
The governor highlighted that the previous administration had resorted to printing money, resulting in a devaluation of the national currency.
He also mentioned that crude oil, which was yet to be extracted, had already been sold in advance, further exacerbating the economic challenges.
Governor Mutfwang expressed concern over the growing unrest and food shortages in the country, urging his fellow citizens to work together to address these issues.
He emphasized the importance of food security and announced plans to establish a special agro-processing zone in partnership with the African Development Bank.
While these allegations are serious, it is important to note that they have not been independently verified. The government and relevant authorities will need to investigate these claims thoroughly to ascertain their veracity and take appropriate action if necessary.
