OpEd: Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo | Sahara Reporters

‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President -- and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the...

This is one among the foundering protagonists of the Buhari administration. When native complexion and loyalty are prioritised above competence and performance, leadership suffers. I strongly believe even if Nigeria’s constitution allows a third term and Buhari returns in 2023, recession will hit the country again. It appears anything he touches atrophies.

I concede, the recent recession is a corollary of the global economic meltdown compelled by the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a steep drop in oil prices and Diaspora remittances, and the stock market is prostrate. But there were warnings of this impending doom before its fruition. What could Buhari’s recession team have done different?

FredrickNwabufo Buhari's mental capacity was a misfit for today's govt but ethnicity has deprived us of a good government.

FredrickNwabufo Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) is a colossal failure in economic management. I am not surprise that he exalts ethnicity, religion n loyalty far above competence n professionalism cos these attributes brought him to limelight.
