Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang has declared that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrived in Nigeria in 2023 to find it "tottering on the brink of collapse". Speaking at the formal inauguration of the APC campaign council in Jos on Monday, Mutfwang highlighted the administration's struggles in servicing external debts and the need to resort to printing money to manage the economy.
He mentioned that the country's external reserve had plummeted from over $40 billion to just over $3 billion. Mutfwang emphasized that the situation necessitated the abandonment of retired police officers by the previous administration. Currently, he noted, Nigerians are facing long queues for petrol, a stark contrast to the Buhari regime when fuel was scarce.
Mutfwang expressed confidence that Plateau State would support Tinubu in the upcoming election on January 16, 2027, and urged citizens to mobilize their communities for the same.
