Buhari also left behind a $ 622 billion GDP in 2022. The highest gdp in Nigerian history.
I listened to an analyst a few days ago, and shook my head at the insincerity against Buhari.
By any records, or standards or indices, on 70 to 75% of available data points, Buhari era produced the highest results in the country’s history.
President Tinubu has Buharis data to beat.
Even economy which was previously not seeming good, recent rebasing has totally changed the picture.
And all of this achieved through thr biggest economic crash in a century
It is on record that the Global Competitiveness Index by the World Economic Forum, measures over 100 data points including economy, security and social factors.
Buhari inherited Nigeria in 2015 at number 125, the lowest on record, and lifted Nigeria 11 spots before he left it at no 114.
On the ease of business which also measures over 100 indices, Buhari met Nigeria at 170 out of 190, among the world’s bottom.20 nations. He lifted it 39 spots to number 131 out of 190.
These global agencies, unbiased, looking purely at data, socio economic factors judged that he left the Nation in a FAR better place than he left it.
Hence no amount of data twisting can change these facts
