The Nigerian Senate has blamed the country's debt profile on past presidents. Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Solomon Olamilekan

Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, blamed ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, and Goodluck Jonathan for Nigeria’s high death profile.The lawmaker disclosed this on Wednesday during consideration of the 2022-2024 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper.

He added: “Majority of the loans being repaid presently by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration were ones accumulated from the times of the military to those of the PDP administration under Ex-Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, between 1999 and 2015. “It is an accumulated loan, it is not a loan that says that it is the current administration of President Buhari that has borrowed.

“[And] since the business of government is a continuum, the President of the day has no choice but to continue to pay back all these loans that have been borrowed by the previous administrations.

You campaigned blaming them, you won and governed for 6 years still trading blames. May God bless the dead.

Hey God see people wey call themselves senators. Rubber stamp na e una reali be.

This is the simplest definition of madness

All of us are accountable to God. Let all of you continue with this nonsense as if you don't think before you talk.

This is an unreasonable excuse for failure.which govt doesn't leave debts behind for another. I wonder how this kind of persons became leaders at first place

It doesn't pain me anymore! In fact you are the best government we ever had! You are doing us a favor! We forced you into office 😜😜😜

Is that so 🤣🤣🤣😆

They should stop the blame already and just fix it... we know 16 years of the other people was all bullshit

Shameless people

Hope Nigerians now see why former Senate president bukola saraki is not in good relationship with PMB.

Now I know we don't have senate at all, most of them are morons. Few of them are there during d time of Obj, some with Yar'adua while d rest with GEJ till date. Most of this people deserve life imprisonment coz naija na country wia politicians can do anyhow & go free

After 8 fucking years you can’t fix nothing still blame games

Do this senate think that we are from a certain region that admit student who score 13 in there jamb scores? We have brain and we know who took this country to the mud.

How Nigeria ended up with these demonic charlatans in the Senate is heart aching. No single sense of honesty or patriotism, just pure greed & evil. Tueh!

Awon Eleriiibuuu.

And idiots would believe this nonsense!

and the only way to reduce the high debt now is to borrow more. mad people

Do they still have national assembly?

Lunatics! Like we don’t know how much debt Buhari met in 2015. I wonder that specie of weed these people smoke.

bunch of wasted sperm

Useless senators with horrible faces. Buhari is a saint never does anything bad.

That law maker na ese gey

You guys are still on this blame game after how many years

Old fools

🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

The 9th Senate & APC govt under PMB either lacks insight into their abysmal incompetence or are simply bluffing in shamelessly blaming past govts. It’s a boldface naked walk in glaring daylight & remorseless pointing at nothing wtout any remorse for the damage done to Nigerians.

Lol......God please rescue this country out of these people. Let them make mistake that will allow our vote count.

Which type of weeds are you people taking in that national assembling?

Even Lord Lugard

Facts but we don't want to face the facts

Really?

Mumus presently in power displaying their iberiberism.

Blame game continues. Obasanjo, Yaradua and Jonathan was responsible Tinubu sickness. Wonders shall never end

Blame, blame, blame!

These people are not normal......confirmed!!!

Who's speaking? Is it collectively one a northerner under cheap drug?

These should show the type of senate you people voted in They want to put the blame on past leaders so they can shift the blame of approving so much loans Level of incompetence ,all they know how to do is ban and no good alternatives
