Buhari’s tenure is about job losses – Atiku media

The Atiku Media Office said yesterday that President Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership has led to job losses by millions of Nigerians.

Mr. Paul Ibe, the Media Adviser to PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, said in a statement yesterday that President Buhari had insulted Nigerians when he said he had achieved his campaign promises.

“President Muhammadu Buhari began his nationwide campaign rallies with a zonal rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State and at that event the president proclaimed that he had fulfilled his promises to Nigeria,” the statement said.  “Ironically, a day before the president made that statement, it was revealed that the number of Nigerians living in extreme poverty had increased from 87 million to 90 million in just four months. Going by that sharp rate of increase, the whole country will be in extreme poverty if Nigerians make the mistake of re-electing Buhari.

“Except the president made a vow to impoverish Nigerians, it is hard to see how he could have fulfilled his promises with such pervasive poverty and hunger in the land. “This is even as the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics revealed a week to the president’s unfortunate statement that unemployment had doubled from the 14% he met it in May 2015 to 23.1% in December of 2018,” the statement added.
