Former military governor of Kaduna state, Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar (rtd) has said that Nigeria’s treasury is secure under President Muhammadu Buhari’s watch but that the system
I have no doubt that Nigeria’s treasury is secure under President Buhari’s watch but that what Nigeria truly needs is a just and equitable system.
“There is no doubt that all nations need just rulers to prosper. In Nigeria,the emphasis has been on getting that honest and just ruler. There is no doubt that in General Muhammadu Buhari, we have a relatively honest and just ruler.”
In a statement today, Colonel Dangiwa noted with regret that the Nigerian State as presently politically and economically structured, is aimed at the exploitation of oil and gas resources of the Niger Delta region.
According to him, the Nigerian state exists for the sharing of those assets which he said makes the Nigerian President a defacto Accountant –General.
“If we are to develop, we must do away with this food-is ready system and start practising true federalism as the only way to unleash and unbound the vast economic potentials of all the federating units. Our present system is unsustainable ,more so that oil prices are rapidly declining.
