While President Mohammed Buhari’s read out a farewell message to Nigerians as he pulled the curtain of his administration which lasted between 2015 to 2023, he made a quite remarkable statement: “I am confident that I am leaving office with Nigeria better in 2023 than in 2015. Does this statement translate, in terms of accomplishment, to his inaugural message when he said ‘I am not for anybody, I am for everybody”?

Much as President Mohammad Buhari’s tenure recorded some achievements like the rail project, completion of the 2nd Niger bridge, major road construction and rehabilitation, the feat Nigeria had attained as of May 29, 2015, when President Goodluck Jonathan handed over the Presidency of Nigeria to General Buhari remains a wish of Nigerians. According to Reno, a former aide of President Jonathan: “the nation’s Gross Domestic Product was $509.9. Please do not take my word for it. Verify it by yourself. In 2023, as General Buhari prepares to hand over the Presidency to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, our Gross Domestic Product is an estimated $450 billion.
From the above, General Buhari’s statement in his so-called farewell broadcast to the nation, in which he said, “I am confident that I am leaving office with Nigeria better in 2023 than in 2015″, is a very provocative and blatant lie.
In 2015, we only had a national security threat from Boko Haram. Today, we have national existential threats from Boko Haram, bandits; and unknown gunmen, amongst others.
In 2015, the Naira was ₦199 to $1. Today, it is ₦750 to $1. In 2015, our total foreign debt was $10.7 billion. Today, it is almost $50 billion.
In 2015, Nigeria was 136 in Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index. In 2023, we are 150.
So, precisely in what area of our national life has Buhari made ‘Nigeria better in 2023 than in 2015’?
The only thing we can now say to General Buhari is that you were a mistake, and may you go and may your like NEVER return to power to afflict us again. In Yeshua’s Name, I pray.”
