Former Nigeria president, Buhari, has stated that President Bola Tinubu has done well for the country given the prevailing circumstances he met when he assumed office in May 2023.
Speaking on Sunday, March 10, when he received the comptroller-general and members of the management team of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) in Daura, Katsina state, Buhari said governing Nigeria is a tough job for anyone. He appealed to Nigerians to endure the economic hardship in the country and support the policies and programmes of the current administration.
“I thank you very much for coming. I very much appreciate it. I thought Tinubu has done very well. Nigeria is so complex. Really, there isn’t much anybody can do.” Buhari said
President Tinubu has been heavily criticised by some Nigerians following the policies his government has introduced, notably the removal of subsidy on petrol and the unification of the exchange rate which have led to galloping inflation and economic hardship.
