PDP Ruined Nigeria, I Challenge Anybody To Prove Me Wrong – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari says it is on record that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, left the country in ruins, challenging anyone to present any evidence that could contradict his claim.

Buhari said this on Friday night when he hosted the Buhari Support Organisation at the presidential villa in Abuja.

The President further stated that his administration “inherited a damaged economy” when it came on board in 2015.

“I said it is on record and I challenge anybody to check from Europe, United States and Asia that between 1999 and 2014, the 16 years of previous administration there was an average of 2.1 million per day of crude oil at the average cost of 100 dollars per barrel,’’ he said.

He said he refused to sack the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr Godwin Emefiele, when he took over power because he wanted to give him the opportunity to salvage the economy from its “terrible condition”.

The president assured Nigerians that his administration would continue to spend more funds to upgrade the nation’s infrastructural facilities.

He said the government had also expended more than N1.3 trillion on capital projects across the country.
