Aminu Masari, Kastina State Governor, said President Muhammadu Buhari emergence in 2015 save Nigeria from serious socio-political and economic crisis.
Masari said this on Wednesday while speaking on the achievements of the Nigerian leader in two years.
“I am very proud of him and proud of what he has done in the past two years.
“When we came in 2015, 27 states were not paying salaries, and President Buhari came up with different bailouts,”
“States were given money to be able to pay salaries; those who owed pensions and gratuities were given money to pay, and my state benefited from that gesture. Each state was also given N10 billion from the excess crude account for infrastructure development.
“When the oil price went down and many states could not pay salaries, Buhari introduced what he called budget support.”
“For the first four months, each state was given N1.4 billion and there were many other interventions from the federal government in order to help stabilise the states”, he told Thisday.
“If we did not have Buhari as president, we would have been in serious crisis with the way President Jonathan and his people messed up the economy, politics and the entire country.
‘’Today, there is relative peace and calm in the politics of our country. We are able to meet the minimum obligation of paying salaries, gratuity/pension and other developmental projects’’, he added.
