With this poll, President Buhari has once again been absolved of blame for the country’s huge economic decline as Nigerians and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) always point to past economic mistakes as being responsible for whatever hardships Nigerians are going through.
Meanwhile, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship aspirant in Benue state, Nath Apir has said that Nigerians are currently regretting voting for President Muhammadu Buhari at the last general elections.
Apir, reacting to the declaration by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) that the nation’s economy has gone into recession, lamented that the APC led government had failed to do the needful to sustain the level of economic growth recorded by the Goodluck Jonathan-led administration.
