Buhari's Popularity Drops Since His Inception In Governance by centyboy: 5:44pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
– Buhari’s popularity drops
for 30% since last year
– The president scored low
on jobs, economy, and
power
– According to the poll Ibe
Kachikwu remains the best
minister
– Nigerians stop blaming
the previous government
for all nations’ problems
President Buhari during the
swearing-in ceremony on
May 29, 2015.
Many Nigerians have scored
President Muhammadu
Buhari low on jobs,
economy, and power for the
first time in months
according to Governance
Advancement Initiative for
Nigeria (GAIN).
It’s the first time since
December last year that a
monthly poll that track the
performance of governments
at all levels in Nigeria, has
recorded main approval
rating slide.
Earlier the survey found that
majority of Nigerians did not
accuse President Buhari of
Nigeria’s ongoing economic
troubles. They blamed ex-
president Goodluck Jonathan
instead.
Meanwhile, the trend
changed significantly in
February as country’s
economic crisis bit harder, in
what the poll coordinators
suggested that Buhari’s
“honeymoon” is over.
Malcolm Fabiyi, one of the
poll’s coordinators said: “The
survey was administered
using electronic media
between February 22nd and
29th, 2016. A total of 757
complete responses were
received. The survey results
have a 4% margin of error at
a 95% confidence level.”

The February survey showed
that the president’s approval
rating dropped drastically
from 63.4% in January to
32.8%, and more Nigerians
held Buhari responsible for
the dwindling economy for
the first time.
President Buhari scored low
on jobs, economy, power,
and rule of law. A huge 79%
of respondents rated the
administration’s handling of
recurring clashes between
herdsmen and farmers poor.
The survey also showed that
the Nigerian senate
maintained the lowest
approval rating of all
governmental institutions.
The military received the
highest rank as national
institution.
Nigeria’s best minister so far
is Ibeh Kachikwu, the
minister of state for
petroleum.
Under the “High” ranking
response, security Boko
Haram crisis was rated as the
most important area of
concern and/or interest by
55% of Nigerians, continuing
the trend from the January
poll.
The top 5 rated areas overall
were security (55%), anti-
corruption (51%), power
(51%), economy and jobs
(50%) and education (45%).
45% of respondents
consider that the anti-
corruption is working,
however, the rank dropped
from about 76% in the
January poll.
62.6% of Nigerians indicated
opposition to the
devaluation of the naira.

honeymoon with Nigerians
may not last long
For the first time since the
Buhari came to power, more
Nigerians held the
incumbent administration
responsible for the current
state of the nation. In the
February poll, 35% of
Nigerians said that the
Buhari government was
“completely responsible”.
An increasing number of
Nigerians continue to
indicate that they do not
support any political party.
Majority of the respondents
disapprove government’s
handling of Fulani herdsmen
attacks.
Lai Mohammed, the minister
of information, surprisingly
takes the second place, while
Kachikwu was again rated as
the best minister in Buhari’s
cabinet.
Muhammadu Buhari,
candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, was
elected as Nigeria’s new
president almost a year ago
on March 28, 2015.
His electoral victory was
outstanding because it
marked the first time an
opposition candidate defeat
an incumbent president in
Nigeria.
Buhari’s promise of change,
which appealed to a majority
of Nigerian voters, has
become a source of hope for
many Nigerians.
When he assumed office,
Buhari asked for time to
assess and clear some of the
damage. He took all the time
he needed, and now
Nigerians are getting
impatient.
They criticized Buhari for
being slow in implementing
his policies and for junketing
around the world while the
nation is suffering. 1 Like |

Drop go where? I look up and what i see is pleasing to the eye. Chai a lady sitting right on ma top . . . Ojigbi-jigbi-jigbi. Back to topic, Nigerians who know that their effort has no influence on their source of pay are greatful to Buhari for keeping their salary going even with the over 60% dropping in oil earning, through blocking of leakages Buhari, has been able to fulfil 70% (recurrent expenses) of the responsibility he inherited from the ineffectuals. 1 Like |

Re: Buhari's Popularity Drops Since His Inception In Governance by Standing5(m): 6:02pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
ladyF:LadyF, there are fixed cost associated with power supply. It is just like a merchant who gets his prodùcts at zero cost, transports it(at a fixed cost) and now wants to sell it for free. He will lose money and make a loss. PHCN must maintain and replace equipment and pay staffs. These things cost money and any attempt to over ration them leads to poor service like we have today. |
Re: Buhari's Popularity Drops Since His Inception In Governance by ladyF(f): 6:10pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
Standing5:People should also be made to pay for services they get, and nothing else! So I travel for 3 months, I still have to pay for electricity that I did not use? Nah, that's just not right....we can't take it... |
Re: Buhari's Popularity Drops Since His Inception In Governance by Standing5(m): 6:17pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
ladyF:They can't lay off staff for 3months cos of some customers now. Equipment to will be maintained as part of standard procedure and if your area's transformer burns it should be fixed regardless of whether u were around. It not like GSM where they blend the cost into their average consumption by customers in the country or particular market. |
Re: Buhari's Popularity Drops Since His Inception In Governance by ladyF(f): 6:37pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
Standing5: The electricity they generate is not even enough for the population, so why are they putting a compulsory fixed charge when they have other consumers that will use/pay for it eventually? Someone somewhere is paying for the electricity I did not use for the time I was away, and they still want to charge me for the same thing?? ?? Say wetin na? That is like double payment for the same commodity na, haba!!! Is that not broad daylight robbery? |
Re: Buhari's Popularity Drops Since His Inception In Governance by Standing5(m): 7:00pm On Mar 10, 2016 |
ladyF:You still missing it. They probably include u in arriving at that amount N750. |
