Buhari brought Nigeria’s economy out of hardship – Garba Shehu counters Tinubu’s wife

Garba Shehu, spokesman to former President Muhammadu Buhari,
has insisted that his principal brought Nigeria’s economy out of crisis.

Shehu made the remark while dismissing claims that Buhari’s
administration threw Nigeria into myriads of problems leading to the current
hardship in the country.

In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, Shehu said no past
administration found itself in economic hardship like Buhari’s.

He noted that no government in the world can solve all the
problems a nation faces.

According to Shehu: “If there were hardships or problems,
these should be looked into, to know how they came about.

“No administration in this country found itself in economic
issues like Buhari’s because of our dependence on oil and prices, which went down.

“We also had the Coronavirus pandemic. Nations shut their
doors, and the economy plummeted. But, Alhamdulillah, Buhari brought the
Nigerian economy out of that crisis.”

This came after the First Lady, Remi Tinubu, noted that
President Bola Tinubu inherited a damaged economy from Buhari.

She noted that Tinubu is not a magician but will work to fix
the things damaged in the country.
