'I Handed Over The Best Nigerian Government To Buhari' - GEJ Says by emmalezy(m): 10:32pm On Aug 24, 2016
In a recent statement, former president Jonathan said he handed over the best Nigerian government, and the largest economy in Africa to president Buhari.

“I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World, with a GDP of $574 billion.

I inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again.

I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement.

In 2009, the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa.

The former President stated that democracy will continue to grow in the African continent if leaders value the process of elections more than the product of the process.

Even in the 2015 general elections in my country, Nigeria, there was potential for major crisis if I was not a President duly elected by the will of the people.

The campaigns leading to the elections almost polarized the country into Christian vs Muslims and North vs South divide. Most World leaders were worried that our elections will result into major crisis.

Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls.

That is where the leadership question comes into play. As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first.

How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties?

With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through.

Indeed, we sail through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it.
My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body”.

It is very obvious, even to the blind.


Rice - 19,000 bag.
Indomie hungry man - 150
Pure water - 10 satchet
Dollar - 405 to Naira
Garri - 700 paint bucket
Fuel - 145 per liter


What other evidence do you need?

My Hero, please you don't need to explain.

The dullard with his policies has reversed our growth. They always asked what impact did Jonathan's best economy in Africa had on our citizens' life it is just paper decoration. Now I tell them, have you now seen what buhari's rape on our economy have had on our citizens' lives. Is it still paper decoration?

We were here when Buhari refused to appoint ministers as the economy deteriorated. Then finally choosing the worst crooks as his ministers just because they are APC.

Buhari cannot say he didn't know all his delays and crappy appointments will lead us to the abyss. We are there now, so let the zombies stop wailing. We deserve the suffering Buhari had subjected Nigeria out of his gross incompetence

Buhari that avoided debates and public scrutiny was the one who got the job, a man who lack the prerequisite qualifications, what a pity. Look at where we are today, people can't feed themselves adequately due to hyper inflation, 1$ is now N402, what a shame.
To Hell with the demonic APC and their digusting leaders. cool

Every Government should be judged by the facts about what they met and what they leave behind

It is no use blaming the past

Buhari has no moral right blaming the past because he too was also part of a troubled past.

You guys are pathetic. Any positives in Buhari's government, you credit Jonathan, but any negative, you exonerate Jonathan.
For example, Buhari's government is defeating boko haram, you praise Jonathan for starting it and buying arms, Boko haram strikes, you castigate Buhari.
NEPA has improved, you praise Jonathan to high heavens for fixing NEPA before he left, NEPA supply darkness as usual, you blame buhari for not supplying power. The list can go on and on.

The only house that your Hero, Jonathan build was a house of corruption and the whole world was aware except PDP and its allies; IPOB, NDA, TAN, etc.
