A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Josef Onoh, has strongly criticized former President Muhammadu Buhari.
The APC elder accused Buhari’s administration of overseeing monumental corruption and worsening insecurity in Nigeria.
Onoh’s remarks came in response to Buhari’s recent claim that Nigeria experienced significant improvements in security and the economy under his leadership.
Buhari had stated that he inherited a struggling economy and security challenges from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which governed for 16 years before his tenure.
Reacting, Onoh rejected these claims, asserting that Nigeria witnessed an economic collapse, a rise in corruption, and unprecedented insecurity under Buhari’s leadership.
Onoh argued that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is now suffering the consequences of Buhari’s economic mismanagement.
“Nigerians today accuse Tinubu’s administration of being the worst they have met without knowing that the President chose to be silent and carry his cross alone without shouting or calling names.
“He continues to navigate the economic minefields the Buhari administration left behind after they failed to frustrate him from becoming the president,” ” Onoh said.
Onoh also highlighted the security challenges Nigeria faced under Buhari, providing statistics on lives lost to violent attacks.
“Under Buhari’s watch, the North East, North Central, South East, and South West couldn’t sleep in peace. When you assumed office on May 29, 2015, the cumulative number of people killed in Nigeria, according to the NST, was 34,972. But from the day you assumed office, the death figure rose to 98,083 as of May 16, 2023,” Onoh stated.
