The National Security Adviser, (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu has accused the the administration of ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, for running the country bankrupt.
Speaking at the chief of defence intelligence annual conference on Monday in Abuja, Ribadu said the President Bola Tinubu inherited a bankrupt country.
Ribadu said the federal government is “paying back what was taken.
“We are facing very serious budgetary constraints. It is okay for me to tell you. It is fine for you to know. We have a very serious situation.
“We have inherited a very difficult country, a bankrupt country to the extent that we are paying back what was taken. It is serious.
“But this administration is doing its best to meet our requirements including that of the armed forces.”
The NSA commended the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) for their exemplary performance, which according to him, has kept “the peace of the nation”.
“You have done well and you are doing well. You are the reason why we are a nation today. This country is grateful. You are the reason why we have peace. We have a very solid security team, the service chiefs”, he said.
Ribadu added that despite the constraints, the security situation in the country had improved significantly.
