As for Muhammadu Buhari, he has served with humility and dignity; he passed his two terms with an integrity that is unprecedented.
The misrepresentations concerning the Buhari administration are egregious. They are embarrassing. And, what these ignore is most startling. They ignore the infrastructural developments across the country that have created such wonderful things like the railway and airport improvements, the things that are needed for economic productivity.
They also give negative information on the economy. Whereas the Nigerian economy is growing, projected to grow at about 3.5% this year, which is far better than many countries post-COVID, and something of an outlier. Then, they misrepresent the debt situation in Nigeria. Yes, Nigeria has recorded a lot of debts that have been used in building its infrastructure, as well as for a broader development agenda.

The media also ignores the fact that the last government, in shifting away from middlemen and extractive economies towards a more diverse and productive economy, disrupted the gravy train in ways that created pain, not just for the economic actors but also for large parts of the Nigerian population. For example, Buhari’s policies in many ways opened new possibilities for rural players to become more competitive economic players.
