“I am confident that I am leaving office with Nigeria better in 2023 than in 2015.”

The president spoke amidst division among Nigerians on the achievements of his administration in the area of economy, security, and provision of infrastructure.

For instance, the problem of banditry and insurgency still persists in some parts of the country, particularly in the Northern part of the country.

In the area of the economy not a few Nigerians have criticized the outgoing administration for performing below expectations.

Whatever achievements the administration has recorded in this area have been dwarfed by the huge debt it has left behind, experts say, leaving the incoming administration hamstrung in terms of resources.

According to the Ministry of Finance, the nation’s total debt stocks now stand at over N77 trillion, taking into account also the over N30 trillion borrowed by the administration from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, through the Ways and Means Window.

On Saturday, Governor Samuel Ortom while speaking on the Buhari’s administration said the president took the nation from top to bottom.

Ortom who spoke at the inauguration of the headquarters of the Benue State Community Volunteer Guards, BSCVGs, said Buhari made life miserable for all Nigerians.

He said: “I served under the then President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and we all saw how Nigeria flourished under that administration. We all knew what the prices of goods and services were at the time.

“We also know what our exchange rate was at the time and what it is today. I want Nigerians to do a simple comparison and you will realise how bad it has been under this government and how Nigeria has been taken several years backwards by the Buhari government.

“The fact is that never in the history of Nigeria did we experience this kind of bad governance in the country.

“Corruption is so endemic in this government, yet people who steal chicken are thrown into prison, but people in government who are busy stealing the wealth of the people are walking free.

“The president recently apologised to Nigerians; we accept the apology but he must be told that he failed woefully and Nigerians are feeling the impact of that failure because we are all suffering.”
