Presidency Blames Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan For Bringing About Recession While In Power

President Muhammadu Buhari who blames the former president of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan for mismanagement and a declining economy that led to recession while in power.

in a statement released through Mr Garba Shehu, his Senior Special Assistant on Media & Publicity, Buhari been blamed Goodluck for bringing about recession while in power.

“As evidenced from a fleeting look at the book, the former President had nothing to say about his own achievements. If there was a recession, and yes we had a moment in it, was it due to one year of President Buhari’s government?

“In his efforts to blame everyone but himself for his failures, Dr Jonathan heaped the blame for the predictable economic recession on President Buhari, ignoring the seeds sown under him through mismanagement and the process set in firm roots for the decline of the economy. Evidently, he did nothing to avert the situation,”
