Plateau State governor, Caleb Mutfwang, has blamed former president, Muhammadu Buhari for the skyrocketing inflation in the country as well as the current economic hardship facing Nigerians.
He made this known on Monday, March 4, while swearing-in of 22 Special Advisers and heads of government agencies at the Government House in Jos.
According to the governor, the Buhari-led administration “sold our future” while they were in the saddle, saying “crude oil we’re yet to take out of the ground had been sold in advance.”

He went on to say the Daura-born politician left the country’s economy in terrible shape for his successor, President Bola Tinubu.
Speaking at the event, Mutfwang said: “This government inherited an economy where we simply printed money up to the tune of N30tn and shared.
“This government inherited an economy where the crude oil we’re yet to take out of the ground had been sold in advance.
“So, when you’re talking about the fall of the naira, it’s not rocket science. We sold our future under the last administration.”
