President Buhari’s answers to the questions posed by Arise TV followed a pattern set in an interview he granted two years ago to the same medium.

“Once people are making trouble for us, I sit down and wonder what have they been doing for 16 years. Did you know that the condition of the road from here to Onitsha, from here to Port Harcourt, to mention a few, have been there since Abacha time?,” he said in 2019.

The president’s claim that crude oil was selling for $100 per barrel between 1999 and 2014 is false as available data showed that the figure is an average of $61.7 per barrel, DubawaOn insecurity, particularly the bloodshed in Benue State, President Buhari’s perception of the herders-farmers clash has not been any way different from his views in 2019.

“Fulanis from Mauritania or from Central Africa look the same. So, they think that they are the Nigerian ones,” he added. “When I collected people and put them in Kirikiri and said they are guilty until they can prove themselves innocent… But what happened? Eventually, I myself was arrested. Detained. And they were given back what they had looted,” the president stated as the reason for his ‘slow’ fight against corruption.

The former military ruler was later arrested and detained in prison after his Chief of Army Staff Ibrahim Babangida ousted him in 1985.Unlike the 2019 interview, President Buhari’s use of the phrase “I assure you”, reduced. It is however unclear if the repetition of the phrase is of mannerism or emphasis.

“And I believe that if you make the infrastructure work, road, rail, I assure you that Nigerians will keep themselves very busy and leave you alone,” he stated at different intervals in the recent interview.
