Can't believe an old man like this can lie!..
Shame!...
Linda how many times we go explain this matter to u on this blog, ehn? Empty treasury, yes. But monies have been made since he assumed office nah. Even payments that was supposed to have been paid when GEJ was in power..... LNG paid into the federation account. Nigeria as a country trades in the export of crude and we get paid oooo. So the empty treasury is being resuscitated
