Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.

“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.

The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.

While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.

“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”

Check your facts very well and find out which government took Nigeria to recession. Because it's certainly not buhari's government. In case you don't know, google Soludo's 2014 Nigerian economic outlook post 2015. Where he said that whoever that will win 2015 election will find it so difficult to govern that he would likely resign.

Also tell me whose regime Okonja Iweala was serving when she announced that Nigeria had technically gone into recession. To the extent that 27 States could no longer pay salaries, while federal government was borrowing to pay salaries. This was when our crude oil was selling at about 130 dollars per barrel.

The same buhari that you hate, came and stimulated the economy by given budget support and pari funds refund to the States. Not to talk of numerous infrastructural projects going on in the entire country. Interestingly, this was when our crude oil was selling at about 45 dollars per barrel.

FG introduces austerity measures

ABUJA—The Federal Government, yesterday, introduced some austerity measures and scaled down the crude oil bench mark for the 2015 budget.

In a bid to insulate the economy from falling crude oil prices the federal government announced far-reaching policy measures to deal with the crashing crude oil prices, cutting 2015 oil benchmark from $78 to $73 per barrel. Crude oil prices dropped to $77.76 per barrel, some cents below the $78 earlier proposed to the National Assembly as bench mark for the 2015 budget.es

I will agree with you on the condition that we will go back from the last military regime of 1998 till 2018, so that we see how prices of commodities have been changing.

If you agree, let me know so we can select any number of essential commodities you want and dissect.

improved economy? In what sense?? A telecom driven industry where data is super expensive in a third World country is a yardstick for them to tie their findings!

1. GEJ and Okonjo declared austerity measures in 2014 when oil was selling for more than what it's selling for today.

2. After that in Jan 2015 just months before PMB, she promised Nigerians more austerity measures coming.

3. After that, she screamed and yelled that Nigerians should be ready for the worst

4. All while she was borrowing hundreds of billions every month to pay workers' salary till her last days in office.

It is not being allergic to good news, it is called thinking with your head and not your stomach.

Some group of people took charge of an economy and damaged it so bad that any slight improvement makes the news.

If you can compare this with the Venezuelan economy, you would understand what I mean.

During military regimes prices were a bit stable, except buhari’s dispensation which he as well took Nigeria into a recession all in the name of fighting corruption!

Buhari is an expired product who isn’t fit to run a barber’s shop let alone a country like Nigeria. His leadership qualities are wack, he is nepotistic, religious bigot and an all round uneducated bag of bones!

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct
15 NOVEMBER 2013

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that the states had requested for $2bn to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.
