- Buhari disclosed that the Peoples Democratic Party, which was in government for 16 years, bequeathed a bad economy and security challenges to him.
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has said Nigeria experienced tremendous improvement in the area of economy and security when he held sway as the democratic elected leader of the country.
Buhari was Nigeria’s president for two terms of eight years from 2015 to 2023.
Buhari disclosed that the Peoples Democratic Party, which was in government for 16 years, bequeathed a bad economy and security challenges to him.
He made the disclosure when he hosted members of the Katsina State Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists at his country home in Daura, Katsina State.
Buhari, however, asserted that his government’s strategies successfully tackled these challenges, curbing terrorism and economic hardship.
He said, “Nigeria’s security and economy improved significantly under my administration compared to what we met in 2015. Things will continue to improve in Nigeria.”
The former President also acknowledged the country’s administrative challenges, noting that only those in positions of power truly understand these obstacles.
In his remarks, the Chairman of the Correspondents’ Chapel, Yusuf Ibrahim-Jargaba, lauded Buhari’s efforts in tackling terrorism, banditry, and other security challenges during his tenure.
Ibrahim-Jargaba also commended the former president’s hard work, dedication, and selfless service, which he believes helped maintain the country’s unity.
