I Didn't Hand Over A Collapsed Nation To Buhari - Dr. Goodluck Jonathan-

- Former President, Goodluck Jonathan has replied his critics who accused him of handing over a nation at the verge of collapse to his successor, President Muhammadu Buhari.

- Jonathan recounted the achievements of his government to include, handing over a country that produced the richest man in Africa.

- Jonathan said, “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 handed over dollar exchange rate of N187 per Dollar official rate in our banks, compared to their N360 now official rate for a Dollar

-“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 also inherited a country where illiteracy rate particularly in the Northern part was alarming.

- I handed over a country where every state in the North and indeed all the states had a Federal University. I inherited a country where there was total infrastructural decay in all the unity schools and colleges of education.

- But I handed over a country with massive infrastructural improvement in almost higher institutions.

- I inherited a country where agricultural inputs and production were almost zero.

- But I handed over a country where a bag of rice was sold for N6,500 to N7000.

- My regime since the establishment of ecological fund office did more irrigation dams in the North and other parts of the country than other subsequent administrations put together.

- I inherited epileptic fuel supplies resulting to endless queues at the filling stations. I maintained despite enormous challenges of fuel subsidies and handed over a relatively stable fuel regime and also at a managed local price of N87 per litre.

- 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 further stated " I inherited a country where people were almost losing hope on the credibility of its electoral process but I noticed that democracy will continue to grow in the African continent if leaders value the process of elections more than the product of the process. I handed over electoral process that engendered fairness in its conduct and conclusiveness ".

- He said, “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 sailed 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. We sailed through because I maintained and still believe that my personal ambition, interest is not worth the blood of any single Nigerian.

- 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.

Need we say more?

Tell them my amiable president!


You remain a role model to me to infinity.

You nearly collapsed the economy, but Buhari has helped in collapsing it entirely.

Best president ever my man my president my leader my role model you are the true father of democracy the detribalized leader that know the values of Nigerian lives i will always love and respect you till i die

We sure know that ... the 1984 evil dull aged recessionist simply came back in 2015 with his notorious old economy eroding bad habit.

Hehehe politicians always acting smart.u took over $200+ billion plus economy and handed over $500 billion plus.
But when he got to dollar to naira exchange rate, he didn't mention how much it was when he took over but jus decided to tell us the amount when he handed over.
Same with others.
Also mentioned he met infrastructural decay and agricultural input bn zero.me jus thinking the table he is shaking , Obasanjo dey there o
Em try him best sha.but i no like the fact say em allow thieves steal money from this nation.

Interesting. He didn't mention the single digit inflation rate. Jonathan was no Saint but was still better. I was convinced that if Jonathan has continued Nigeria would not have entered a recession. For me his biggest achievement was a fair electoral process.

You may not be the best ever Nigerian president.

But the truth remains that sane Nigerians are missing you.

What a peaceful man you are.

Say no more

Serial leadership failure. Serial incompetence at the helm of affairs. The story of Nigeria.

Anything but Jonathan.

Anything but Buhari.

This kind of thinking will produce the same kind of abysmal result always.

Let's elevate our thinking to 'what kind of man or woman will make this nation a great nation to live, work and do business'
