President, Muhammadu Buhari has condemned his successors in office, saying they did not do what his government is doing with scarce resources.
Buhari made the statement in his nationwide broadcast to mark the nation’s 60th independence.
He mentioned those who led the country between 1999 and 2015 when he took over, saying they presided over the near destruction of the country.
TheNewsGuru recalls that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, late Umar Yaradua and former President Goodluck Jonathan were in charge of the country during the period Buhari mentioned.
The President said, “No government in the past did what we are doing with such scarce resources.
“We have managed to keep things going in spite of the disproportionate spending on security.
“Those in the previous governments from 1999 – 2015 who presided over the near destruction of the country have now the impudence to attempt to criticize our efforts.
“In the circumstances, a responsible government must face realities and take tough decisions.”
