Buhari brought Nigeria’s economy out of hardship, Garba Shehu replies First Lady 

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

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

It would be recalled that the First Lady, Senator Remi Tinubu, said President Bola Tinubu inherited a damaged economy stating that Tinubu is not a magician but will work to fix the things damaged in the country

Shehu while speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa Service, said no past administration found itself in economic hardship like Buhari’s, noting that no government in the world can solve all the problems a nation faces.

According to him,  “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.”
