'We leave Nigeria in a far better place than we found it. Corruption is less hidden for Nigerians feel empowered to report it without fear, while money is returned; terrorists no longer hold any territory in Nigeria, and their leaders are deceased...'

the Nigerian leader to rate his performance on the three key metrics upon which he campaigned.

We have spent our two terms investing heavily in national road, rail, and transport infrastructure set to unleash growth, connect communities, and lessen inequality. This is structural transformation. It may not show on standard economic metrics now, but the results will be apparent in good time.Starting with our Whistleblowing Policy enacted in my first year in office hundreds of millions in stolen funds have been returned within Nigeria.

Initiatives such as the Nigeria Anchor Borrower’s programme, helping farmers compete against artificially lowered imports has boosted rice production to 9 million metric tonnes in 2021 from around 5.4 million metric tonnes in 2015. Even in the years of drought, rice production outstripped pre-2015 levels. Imports have fallen to near zero. We are making progress.

Once signed into law the constitutional amendment bill – recently voted through parliament – will allow state governments to generate and transmit their own electricity, further facilitating investor participation in our market and enabling states and local businesses to transmit excess supply to the grid.

Our infrastructure developments have been the most ambitious since Nigeria’s independence. Over 800 federal roads are being constructed or undergoing rehabilitation and 650km of rail line have been laid, helping alleviate food inflation pressures, given most food is produced in the north. In 2016 I launched the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council , making Nigeria an easier place to start and grow a business. PEBEC’s policies, as with our national ID card rollout help integrate the informal sector.

We have invested in our security forces, including the $1 billion military deal with the U.S. for the acquisition of A-29 Super Tucano aircraft. These efforts are making an impact: wells that had to be closed due to criminality have now re-opened. With these efforts, OPEC has raised our quota for next month.

Capital lie!

Amadioha where are you

it is much obvious that if we are to rate Mr president by the comments above it shows that he failed woefully.

The killing and the kidnapped going on in south east BIAFRA land is Muhammad Buhari Army and DSS police he sent to killed IPOB members, because IPOB said they want referendum for BIAFRA nation only.

Mad man

Bubu is NOT aware of anything 🙄

Are you reporting about an utopian future Nigeria state in perfect equilibrium?

should be ashamed for such a disgraceful journalism

Zuki tamalle.

You are not interested in our opinion

So disconnected from the reality

It is sad to hear MBuhari telling this 'truth'!

Say wat?!!!

He is not senile or misinformed. He is just a common crook! He is Muhammadu Buhari.

This man called the president of Nigeria,is really sick, imagine,a country that has gone down more than he met it. The worst administration in this history of Nigeria, impunity as a norm now. No respect for the rule of law..God Factor will Play out soon.

'The emperor's new clothes'. A delusional emptor at that. History will not be kind to you

Should we tell the President ?

This man is not normal.

Please who is deceiving this man.

You know you are lieing.

Oh Really?

Insane

It's glaring we are not dumb and stupid.

This man has been possessed by some unknown foreign spirit cos he talks like a stranger to his mess. He is not aware though as usual of the state of affairs.

May you never know peace for this wicked statement. The worst mistake Nigerians have made

This man pls stop capping nonsense abeg

stevolalaski Wow

Same Nigeria or Niger?

His enemies are his aids and ministers feeding him with false information about the state of the nation. How I wish they could at least show him love by telling him the truth. Baba they hate you so much.

Omo see brain! There is God ooooooo

That’s true, Nigeria is now like London that’s why you don’t see any difference between Nigeria and London.

Even premium times that post this did that to mock the president... Sir you are not doing well at all

Baba that one na mis-yarn, all these abductions, killings and inflation nko?

🤣🤣🤣🍻 no fuel sef today

Sorry to say, I no agree with you Mr President. Before you came in, i enjoy 3 square meal a day, but now some times 1/0/1, 0/1/1, or 1/1/0 and some time without a single maggi cube. More so thief is targeting your house in d night

What a man what a country , sometimes I question how I found myself here

With all due respect I am not proud of you president buhari if you truly said this. You no get shame and fear of God?

My God, is he insane?

Where is this thunder na, is heaven still active at all? 😖😖

Baba.......

For the return funds.... where are they?

Can't wait for May 29 next year so one can be rid of this plague. His wilful ignorance of reality though legendary, is far too costly for the country he pretends to lead.

Kai who's saying this? travel Travel bobo haba nah wah Nigeria 🇳🇬capital of poverty under this pa Buhari government.

😂😂😂 It's so painful that these people think that Nigerians are dumb. Well maybe they're not wrong, cause many Nigerians are still stupid enough to want to vote the 'wrongest' of people. Such rubbish. You're the worst president Nigeria has ever had and I'm being fair here!

All is not true, Nigeria is worst than you meet it.

Omg I can’t believe this is Nigeria’s president😮just read that Boko haram appoint a governor over some part of bornu that bandits are collecting taxes from Niger🧐 they have being feeding school kids with Billion when most r out of school. Failure everywhere; SAPA n JAPA galore

I think that our man is in another world or he is on the influence of alcohol for saying these rubbish.

Indeed far back, he carry Nigeria from grace to grass.

Delusion is a problem

I laughed in Spanish

Then there was no increase number of terrorists but now we do and then kidnapping was not a business but now it is. So why would we appreciate Mr. President for been a Messiah of depravity.

If no be juju dey distop you then you Don die

Dear General Presido, to be candid you tried, at least no bombing in Abuja, tactics has changed, killings now is far greater than before, we are talking lost of human life, are these tactics so new to overwhelm our widely respected security systems?. can't read b/w d lines help.

Na lie

He just said the opposite of what he has done.

Is it not good that Mr. President and his teams are leaving us in a far better place than where they found us, at least where they found us then, the numbers of Nigerians killed daily was not up to the number now; corruption then was in overt but now it done secretly;

Guess he as been living in Pluto all this while.. Worst president in Nigeria history...

Can we stop the car let's alight from here

This baba is confused

I can forgive this man anything but not this taking the piss after 8 useless years under him

This man is the president of another Nigeria in Mars or Pluto. Am sure he is not talking about our own Nigeria on planet Earth.

Mr president why do you always give Nigeria’s headache 🤕 na what kind of talk be this na 🥺🥺🥺

Buhari's mythical Nigeria--another history; another reality; another planet. History will not absolve you Mr. President.

Go and check world 🌍 security and poverty index, then do your comparison.

I laugh in chinko 😃😃

What else could best describe delusion.

☠️

Is he referring to niger Republic were hes first cousin came from If hes actually talking about nigeria....na highness

May be you're talking about another Nigeria not ours.

Bullshit

So out of touch with reality

This man should better join the stand up comedy group in Nigeria

…and people that claim their head is normal are out there supporting the same party! tueh

What's this man smoking?

Someone is giving baba wrong information

Delusional

Stories to the birds

Sounds like someone who just woke up after 7 years of coma, and was then given quick update to reel out.

Enough said

Noted

Baba na lie!

Buhari you took Nigeria 200 years backward in everything

Confused and delusional president, you run the worst corrupt government in history of Nigeria, your administration have taken Nigeria 30 years backward

Whow is even deceiving this man? How much was dollar when u met it, how much was a kg of gas, fuel etc when u came on board? Before now we have only bokoharam but now we have bokoharan, bandit, ISIS, unknown gunmen, fulani herdsman, fulani terrorists, oga respect yourself please.

He is trying so hard to convince and console himself from his failure. The average Nigerian is agitated and angry these days for obvious reasons - frustration.

You're rather campaigning we the common masses or rather, the average Nigerians have witness none of it in existence. Please we're too wiser now to be deceived just via verbal, there's time for everything lie to manifest.

You mean Niger Republic.

Now, i don't have problem with buhari bt those that want to continue from where he stopped.

This man is far from reality

Who carried out the killings in Owo? owomassacre

Animal talk!!

Haba! Buhari!

Boko haram now gave birth to 'bandits'

Very true mr Buhari just kuku step down

How does he feel dishing out this lies from the pit of hell?Nigeria has collapsed, nothing is working except crimes,at least as a soldier secure Nigeria,even Good luck A civilian secured Nigerians more than a general PMB and APC generally failed us

Blatant lies! Fact check: commodity prices have quadrupled in 7+ years of Buhari's administration; a bag of rice sold for N8000 in May 2015. Terrorism and banditry is very rife in the north; territories in Niger and Borno are still under BH control. Why twisting this TRUTH?

What a regrettable choice we've made in the past. How can somebody with his 6 sences in this current state of instabilities in all takes, regarding the well being of the societies claims he hase'd done enough.

This is really really sad

Does he really believe these things? Is he really far detached from reality? Does he underate the collective intelligence of nigerians? All, crucial questions.

This confirms that this man stays in a Palace of Illusions. I thought his perceived choice of successor was the lowest, this claim confirms my worries.

Lies

Yes, you are right. Terrorists no longer hold ANY territory in Nigeria. They now have the WHOLE country as their territory.

Wtf!! Damn!! This man is delusional

Omo see brother

I don't know why these folks are so shameless or is it that their brains are no longer functioning? I wish your generations this kind of better condition that you left Nigeria

This man need change his supplier of igbo

In his dream Nigeria.... Maybe

Oga sir, that is not true. This government has taken us 10years backward.

Dear God, I know you still punish liars

Wtf 😳 when will this man stop saying all these rubbish… he should better shut is mouth rather than all these now …..

Nah God go judge una people So heartless set of people.

Wtf 🤬

Which world is this man living in?

The worst in the history of the nation. Be deluding yourself
