Opinion : 20 Reasons Why 5 Years of General Buhari is Equal to Failure! (Part 1)



- By Reno Omokri 

Today officially marks 5 years of General Buhari’s in power, and I would have allowed this day of infamy to go by but for the slanderous fallacy that emanated from the Presidency yesterday in the form of a statement claiming that General Buhari saved Nigeria from collapse by his election in 2015.

I know that Femi Adesina is eager to bootlick Buhari’s new Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, especially after I exposed his insulting comments on Professor Gambari 12 years ago, but this piece of sycophancy is too grovelling (to borrow Femi’s 2008 words describing Gambari) not to be challenged by the truth.

I will now give 20 reasons why General Buhari’s administration is not just equal to failure, but is also the worst government Nigeria has ever been unfortunate to have since 1914.

Before General Buhari was elected in 2015, Nigeria was projected as the third fastest growing economy in the world. 6 months after Buhari was sworn in. Nigeria officially went into a recession. The first in 25 years. Buhari is destroying Nigeria!

During the 2015 campaign,General Buhari promised to create 3 million jobs per annum. As you read this, the total job losses under Buhari is almost 15 million. Not only did he not create jobs, but he destroyed the jobs others created.

It was reported in 2015 that General Buhari would make Naira equal to the dollar. On May 29, 2015, ₦199 was equal to $1. Today it is ₦425 to $1. If you study the question asked by the APC, you will agree with me Buhari is a FAILURE!

In 2015, General Buhari campaigned on anti corruption. Today, according to Transparency International, Nigeria is now more corrupt than it was in 2015. In 2015 we were 136. Today, we are 146. We have moved 10 places backward. 
Why is Nigeria more corrupt under General Buhari than under former President Goodluck Jonathan? 

Think of:
- Babachir
- Aisha Buhari’s ADC and his billions - NNPC $25 billion leaked memo scam
- Ikoyi Apartment billions - Gandollar - ₦37 billion NASS renovation 
On May 29, 2015, Nigeria’s foreign debt was $7 billion. Today it is $30 billion and General Buhari just asked to
