Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai on Thursday stated that Nigerians were not being charitable for accusing President Muhammadu Buhari's istration of having impoverished them.

The governor was fielding questions from State House correspondents after a meeting of the National Economic Council presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

He stated: "I have said we inherited a governmental structure that was based on the assumption that price of oil will remain $100 per barrel. By the time we took over, prices reduced to as low as $26 per barrel. 80% of government revenue depends on the price of oil and the quantity of oil sold.

"You must expect a cut in your consumption if the price collapses. If in your own household, your salary is slashed by 80 percent, what will you do? This is what Nigeria is going through. Our revenues have collapsed by about 40% to 60% if you compare it to say 2014.

"This collapse happened because there is a reduction in price of oil. Secondly, we were producing over two million barrels of oil per day but because of the situation in the Niger Delta, we are now producing about 1.1million barrels per day.

"It is therefore inevitable that there will be cut and pain. But to say that it is government that is doing it without referring to the cause, it is not fair."

If rufai is honest then he will tell us who the clueless president is now

even the PDP wont perform this bad

Nasir el-dwarf, you need your head examined.
Did nigerians force Buhari to run ?

How did you people manage to miss the own-goal he scored against buhari?!
So what he's saying is-
Gej is to blame for the 6 month's delay in appointing ministers.
It was actually gej on one of his visits that told buhari that ministers are noisemakers.
Tinubu used gej's example to know that a new president needs a 9month honeymoon. So it's gej's fault!
Gej didn't let buhari rest wit his return to aso rock- like who forget him pant for washing machine- so buhari didn't realise his ear was being infected by jona's yans!
It was gej dat bribed pipul to pad budget o!
You know its jona dat appointed cbn gov na. So d moment buhari travel to go see doctor for england, gej fastly use emefiele skelenton in dat cobord to blackmail him to float d naira!
So you see dat lying mohammed is right....
Have you blame gej today?

Bia El Rufai or wetin dem dey call you Taaaa mechiegi onu rere ere dia!! You don't know jack!! Obama inherited an impoverished US economy and without any form of recourse/excuse for the past he went ahead to fix it and today America has had its middle-class back in form and ur here spewing trash!! You guys are simply RUSTICS and HIGHLY INEPTIC shikena!!!

Is it the price of oil that made you force us to eat expensive stoned rice?
Is it the price of fuel that made all staple commodities this expensive?
Is it the price of oil that has disallowed you to have clear economic policies ?
Is it the price of fuel that brought double digit inflation?
Economist in the house come and explain to us please!
I hate it when they continue to mismanage the Niger Delta crises and keep blaming others. All previous government met it and managed it. So manage it too or shut up.

I always say it, Apc talk too much and most times they just trash talk. If Nigerians are unfair to buhari, How fair is buhari to us?

When we're able to feed well, buy fuel at reduced price, at least enjoy about 12yrs of light, buy dollar at #200+, gain access to good roads, provides job opportunities etc then we might consider being nice to him. You can't be a pain in the ass and still expect us to kiss your stinking ass

Pls someone should orientate this man and let him know that he can't be a serving governor and also minister of information at a time

Buhari is unfair to Nigerians

The hobbit should shut up already. Are we still in the period of excuses This people rode on th woes of the previous istration into power, they had a clear picture of what they were going to face. So coming every now n then to give excuse n still blame the previous istration for their underperfomance is a clear indication that they have nothing to offer Nigerians.

It's just karma that is punishing Buhari,, he overthrow Goodluck out of his position with a rigged election where kids nd cows voted for him,,, When you do things the wrong way to get a position, do expect repercussion

Midget , you are as small as your sense. Buhari has destroyed Nig kpata Kpata. Buhari is a curse to Nigeria QED

I give up on this Buhari regime, nothing good should be expected from them.

Elrufai tot GEJ was a little fry in running the Nations economy but today he is stuck with baba-do-nothing with hunger killing everywhere...

Atiku2019:
Buhari is unfair to Nigerians

Oga Atiku,,good morning sir..Pls If u need me for ur campaign train,am available sir..I campaigned for oga bubu,,but he failed us..I hope u won't do the same?

Short man

This man is not serious at all. Nigeians voted him into office after promising us heaven and earth, the last time I checked he didn't fulfil most of his campaign promises and here you are telling us rubbish. I think he's the one that is unfair to Nigerians.

Nigerians have never been fair to any sitting President.
