Plateau Governor Mutfwang Blames Buhari for Economic Crisis
Caleb Mutfwang, the Governor of Plateau State, criticized the economic legacy left by former President Muhammadu Buhari during the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Campaign Council in Jos, Plateau State. He claimed that Nigeria was on the verge of collapse when President Bola Tinubu assumed office in 2023, struggling to meet external debt obligations and with foreign reserves plummeting to just over $3 billion.
Mutfwang stated that the previous administration printed over ₦30 trillion to manage the economy, which he deemed wasted. He defended Tinubu's economic policies, asserting that the Central Bank of Nigeria has stabilized under the current administration, and highlighted the removal of fuel subsidies as necessary to eliminate fraudulent practices.
Mutfwang acknowledged the rise in petrol prices but argued that access to fuel has improved for Nigerians. He urged residents to support Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027.
