General Buhari told members of Nigeria’s State House Press Corps that his administration has to contend with an empty treasury, huge debts, and unpaid workers- the legacy left him by the previous government.

Buhari sailed to an unprecedented victory in Nigeria’s last polls, and was inaugurated into Nigeria’s Presidential Aso Rock Villa on Monday. His first speech from the state house speaks to a nation in turmoil that he has to fix.

“I hope we are starting and this culture of 100 days is bringing so much pressure with treasury virtually empty, with debts in millions of dollars, with state workers and even federal workers not paid their salaries.

“It is such a disgrace for Nigeria. I think Nigeria should be in a position to even pay its workers.

“This bad management that we find ourselves in, we really need your help to protect us from people before they march on us”, he said.

Members of the previous government would disagree with this assessment by the new President, but what is undeniable is that Nigeria is not in the best of shapes at this moment.

Hopefully, John Mahama and his clueless cronies would hand over this nation in better shape after our next general elections.
