President Buhari has blamed those who he referred to as wicked people for stealing Nigeria’s money and keeping the people poor.
Femi Adesina, the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Buhari said “Failure of some of the leadership we had in the past led to our not being able to capitalise on resources to improve the lot of the people.”
The President also added that “If they had used 50 per cent of the money we made when oil prices went as high as $143 per barrel, and stabilised at $100 with production at 2.1 million barrels per day for many years, Nigerians would have minded their business.
“You could almost grow food on our roads, as they were abandoned. The stealing was so much, and they were so inept that they could not even cover the stealing properly.
“I wonder how all those things could have happened to our country.”
