This is the easiest government to run in the history of our nation. Your collect all revenue and embezzle it. But when you want to execute any project, you go and borrow. Very simple.

What will your successor borrow?

See our speaker. We missed you Sen Bukola Saraki

We don borrow to the extent of exceeding the limit of borrowing. Buhari and APC as finish us.

So Osibanjo and that Havard student stood behind him as he signed the dotted lines. No one dared challenge this step?

Borrow, Borrow Government and Party.

Since buhari dey power I no sure say dem Don print money for this Country na borrow borrow up and down like girls wen dey borrow wigs

God forbid these Political Criminals Morticians and Economic Termites Buhari Administration wants to plug Nigeria into perpetual indebtedness! Any person,county or institution still giving loan to Nigeria under the present APC government does not mean well for the citizens of 🇳🇬

Which way nigeria song by sonny okosun comes to mind ....

See the way ProfOsinbajo was distant. I thought he was meant to be beside Buhari. The man has truly been relegated.

God why giving us this kind of criminals into power

They are planning on how to share the money look at them

They are gulping down and much as they could lay their hands on to fortify themselves and make the country irredeemable by the time PO takes over. Divide the contraption now!!

Failed regime. Rubbish.

The next Election is about our lives. We can't afford to get it wrong again!!!

They have sank the Nation,shame on their supporters

The worst is that officialABAT is the national leader of this party, can a tree bear both good and bad fruits at the same time?

Then i shld vote APC in 2023.... No way.

And Senate president Amend lawal will approve that loan without questions. History will remember him for this.

When a country is extremely into debts and exceeds borrowing as used here, what is worst than debt? Is it not slavery?

Failures

These people sha... Obi has alot of clean up to do. The prisons better be ready for so many inmates

All these are happening cos the president refused to stop oil theft and stop the pilfering of our common wealth . Nigeria is already close to Sri Lanka and we have a home economics teacher and finance minister

Our future. Young Nigerians remove the toga of bigotry. Stop enriching politicians. This election is about our lives.

These people have sank this country. All they have borrowed, we don't see where they spend it. They have sold this country. God pls help us.

The prodigious approach of this God forsaken administration is like a punishment for our docility as Nigerians, because, we careless about our election processes. The punishment will end the day we all wise up to take interest & participate actively choosing with our votes.

All hail and clap for APC. I hope they will use dis as a campaign point for Emilokan. Laugh catch me. Thieves
