Group Defends Buhari’s Achievements After Accusations That He Left Comatose Economy

A website showcasing the achievements of former President Muhammadu Buhari has been opened by his supporters who said the former leader did a lot for the country while in office.

Protectors of PMB Legacy, a group supporting the Buhari said the website was opened for Nigerians to see what the former president achieved contrary to the suggestions that he achieved nothing while occupying that office.

Buhari was in office as President for eight years.

Recently, reports have surfaced trying to portray him as president do-nothing. The purveyors of such reports said he left a bad economy for his successor, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

For instance, Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state said last week that the former president abused the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, by borrowing too much from the government bank contrary to the law.

Soludo, a former CBN governor described what Tinubu inherited from Buhari as a ‘dead horse’ economy.

Also, the governor of Ogun state, Dapo Abiodun said at the weekend that “Tinubu inherited an administration that was almost comatose.

But Protectors of PMB Legacy described such report as false, saying it is unfair to accuse the former leader of achieving nothing in eight years.

The group’s coordinator, Mohammed Ajiji said in a statement that it opened the website chronicling Buhari’s legacies for Nigerians to see what was achieved under his watch as President and Commander-in-chief, saying the group is being “compelled to address some claims asserting that the government of former President Muhammadu Buhari has not achieved anything during its tenure. Such assertions are not only misleading but also disregard the numerous accomplishments documented on the PMB scorecard website: www.pmbscorecard.gov.ng.”

According to him, “We were actually blown away when we stumbled on the site and discovered the quantum of projects executed by the PMB administration.

“Contrary to the misinformation being circulated, the Buhari administration has made significant strides across various sectors, contributing to the overall development and progress of Nigeria.

“We encourage all concerned citizens and members of the media, musicians, political critics and other interest groups to visit the PMB scorecard website, which meticulously outlines and provides transparent insights into the achievements of the government.”

Not a few Nigerians, including former President Olusegun Obasanjo have accused Buhari of running the economy aground.
