Former presidential candidate Adamu Garba<\/a> has praised President Muhammadu Buhari for elevating Nigerian military power to near-global levels in his eight years in office.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Garba tweeted from his verified Twitter handle that Buhari had recovered the Ajaokuta steel company, the Mambila power plant, and the majority of the country’s power sector infrastructure from alleged western strangulation.<\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain stated that despite mounting opposition, the President was able to pass the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) into law and rebalance the country’s foreign policy.<\/p>\n

Garba went on to say that Buhari was able to pass the Solid Mineral Development Fund into law and establish a government agency that will buy gold to support the naira’s value.<\/p>\n

He wrote: <\/strong><\/p>\n

What do you expect from @BBCWorld? The Western media will always find a reason to condemn great African leaders like President Muhammadu Buhari. Not surprising!<\/em><\/p>\n

This is the President that recovered Ajaokuta, Mambila, and most of the power sector infrastructure from western strangulation. Was able to pass PIA into law despite their mounting opposition, and he was able to build Nigerian military power to a near-global standard.<\/em><\/p>\n

He was able to recalibrate our foreign policy in purely Nigerian interests, unlike usual African puppeteer leaders. He was able to launch a massive Agricultural transformation policy that sees to our almost full-time food security.<\/em><\/p>\n

President Buhari, to most of the Western countries\u2019 dismay, was able to kickstart the 1972-year-old AKK pipeline project, something they did everything possible to prevent for over 40 years. He blatantly refused U.S. military base in Nigeria.<\/em><\/p>\n

He kickstarted the West African gas pipeline project. Allowed Chinese investors to continue the LNG train 7 and train 8 project when the west blocked everything. He was also able to stand his ground on all African projects with Nigeria and Africa as his central project.<\/em><\/p>\n

The President is able to pass the Solid Mineral Development Fund into law and establish a government organ that will officially buy gold and shore up the value of the Naira. He applied to join the BRICS alliance to create an alternative World Order that will see Africa at the center of decision-making.<\/em><\/p>\n

He conducted the freest and fairest election beyond any Western country\u2019s standards. His party won in the most democratic process and will Insha Allah, hand over to another nationalist, independent-minded and strong leadership of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President of Nigeria in a few day\u2019s time. Etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

If Western Media like @BBCWorld,@CNN, @AJEnglish, @ReutersWorld, @AFP etc are not attacking Buhari\u2019s legacies, then he has not performed for Nigeria.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
