Nigeria would have been forgetten if not for Buhari – Adesina
May 29, 2020
Presidential Spokesman, Femi Adesina, has said that Nigeria would have long been forgotten had President Muhammadu Buhari not win the 2015 presidential election.
Adesina, who made this known in his weekly column ‘From the Inside’, said the take over of the country by the President was accurate and timely. He added that Buhari’s emergence saved the nation from going into oblivion.
The column, titled ‘Five years of PMB: We’re glad he came our way’,  focused on the fifth anniversary of the Buhari’s presidency.
Adesina said Nigeria was a failed state until Buhari came along battling insecurity, rabid corruption and devastated economy.
According to him: “ When he rode triumphantly to power in 2015, the average Nigerian was tired of the state of the country. Massive looting of the treasury by the party in government, and no one was being called to order, because there was no moral will to do it.
“Terrible insecurity in the country, with at least 17 local governments already annexed in the North-east of the country by insurgents.
“They had planted flags of a funny type of caliphate, and were sitting in palaces of the emirs, who had shown clean pairs of heels.”
He said the coming of Buhari was the game changer, pointing out the President has reignited hope in the nation.
“For despite it all, things are not the way they used to be. The descent into abyss has been checked, arrested, and things are looking up.
