NOTE: I'm not in anyway justifying useless debt but every developing countries have a lot of this debt on their neck

Still should research further on whether the funds are not been executed for the purpose for which they are collected, not raising Nigerian heart rate with figures

Only fools live in the past

Only fools support this evil administration

The freedoms of press; civil liberties; marked improvement in human rights and democratic practice; the mobile phone revolution; banking modernization/strengthening; rapid economic expansion; debt relief; man infrastructural improvements were initiated during this time.

Buhari has not improved any of these measures, and in fact, has retrogressed in most.

Sure, people complained during OBJ, YRD, and GEJ, but there's is a definite bite of suffering and hunger in the land under PMB. Even upon that Atiku allegedly stole money (which is yet to be proven by the APC in a court of law), life was way way better.

chiefolododo:
buhari has single-handedly borrowed at least 12Trillion dollars with nothing to show for it. Obj/Atiku's regime is far better that this one that has no clue on how to run government

Smart man that wanna fix future without looking at the PAST, so if we should forget the past, why do you still want a man from the past to manage your future?

Bizibi:
look at Nigeria's level at this moment and look at the debt profile then ask yourself if we are really progressing.....

you are mentally derailed you this useless asshole. Must I think the way u think? U, ur family, ur generation are cursed. Foolish monkey.

Firstly, this corrupt old man should bury his face in dirt. We all know you have no good for this nation.

Secondly, perhaps this man forgot that there's interest on the money that past president's borrowed. I'm almost certain that a large part of the figure is due to the interest on the previous debts.

Lastly, my advise for this man is for him to assist in progress not inciting gullible masses with erroneously interpreted and presented figures.

But come to think of it. If this man became president, do you think Nigeria's debt won't triple by 2023?

Ponder!

And during the time of OBJ/Atiku, what was their achievement or isn't he enjoying the money stolen at that time now?

bellachibaby:
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the February 23 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, has raised the alarm on over the nation’s N25.6trn debt, saying it’s unsustainable.

Atiku said the increasing debt profile of the country is becoming more than a source of concern, adding that the situation has got to a stage where all genuine lovers of Nigeria ought to raise an alarm. Thickmatch reports'

Atiku, in a statement Wednesday by his media adviser, Paul Ibe, recalled that the nation’s debt profile as of May 29, 2015 when President Muhammadu Buhari took over, was ₦12 trillion.

“However, after four years of profligate spending, and even more irresponsible borrowing, our national debt doubled to ₦24.3 trillion by December, 2018.

“As alarming as this is, what is more troubling is that between December 2018 and March 2019, the administration of General Buhari added an additional and unprecedented ₦560 billion debt to our national debt profile.

“What could this junta have needed that amount for? If you take those dates into account, they fall on the period of electioneering, when monies were freely distributed by officials of this government in the name of Tradermoni and other election gimmicks that were discontinued after the election”, Atiku added.

The one time Vice President said it’s inconceivable that Nigeria could have had such unprecedented borrowings in the midst of almost unimaginable sorrowing.

This, he observed, has resulted in the country becoming the world headquarters for extreme poverty and the global capital of out of school children, noting further that Nigeria has slipped in the Corruption Perception Index of Transparency International.

Continuing, Atiku said, “As someone who headed the National Economic Council that paid off Nigeria’s entire debt under the visionary leadership of President Olusegun Obasanjo, Atiku Abubakar has the moral authority to call those who are turning Nigeria into a beggar nation to halt the drift into unsustainable borrowing.

“We cannot continue to borrow to pay salaries and support luxuries. Already, over 50% of our revenue is going towards debt servicing, not even debt repayments.

“We raise this alarm as responsible citizens and call on other lovers of Nigeria to speak up as we have no other nation to call our home, but Nigeria”

One of their achievements was that they PAID OFF ALL OF NIGERIA'S DEBTS including the ones accumulated from years of past military governments.

Think with your brain before supporting Buhari blindly!

In comparison with other nations, I repeat the figure is healthy.
If Atiku is doing this as a patriot, what I expect is researching and exposing unaccounted debts, not flaunting figures for political sake. Every country in the world owe, courtesy capitalism being imposed on every nations by world powers and the larger the economy of a country the higher, usually the more the debt(USA as a case study) but in our case, our debt figure is far lower than those of Egypt and southafrica
