President Muhammadu Buhari has spoken out at last how former President Goodluck Jonathan and his men left the treasury almost empty. Speaking with state house correspondents at Aso Rock, the seat of government, Buhari said that he inherited debts running into millions of dollars.

The President described as very embarrassing the fact that some state and federal workers were being owed months of salaries and appealed to the journalists to help him communicate the real situation of things to people so that they would not blame him for what he knows nothing about, especially in the matter of 100 days in office assessment. “This culture of 100 days (in office) is bringing so much pressure with treasury virtually empty, with debts in millions of dollars, with state workers and even federal workers not being paid their salaries,” he said.

Buhari explained that the appointed of Femi Adesina as his special adviser on Media and Publicity, was specifically tailored towards forging a good working relationship with journalists and hope that Adesina would consistently defend him against his co-journalists.
