Nigeria Has Failed Under Buhari’s Administration – Peter Obi

By Farouk Mohammed

Former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi has claimed that Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is a failed country.

He disclosed this during the 2017 independence anniversary lecture which took place in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state.

The former governor stated that Nigeria had no qualified leadership to revitalized the economy of the country, stressing that the country was still operating in the past.

He blamed the recent rise in agitation of youths, especially the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on poor leadership of the present administration of the federal government.

Obi said: ”For me, the country has failed, If anybody tells you that Nigeria is doing well, tell them it is a lie; they said that we are out of recession but almost all Nigerians are still feeling greatly the impact of recession.”

He charged Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State to always tell the people he is ruling the truth, adding that the people will trust and believe him the more.
