Ortom to Buhari: Your administration ‘the worst in Nigeria’s history’, says ‘Jonathan better’

“The President recently apologised to Nigerians. We accept the apology but he must be told that he failed woefully and Nigerians are feeling the impact of that failure because we are all suffering”.
With the above statement, Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State has described the President Muhammadu Buhari administration as the worst in Nigeria’s history.
“The truth is that Nigeria, under Buhari’s watch, was plunged into unimaginable poverty, insecurity and general maladministration.
“Never in the history of the country did Nigerians witness bad governance like they did in the last eight years”.
The governor, who made the assertion during the inauguration of the headquarters of the Benue State Community Volunteer Guards, BSCVGs, in Makurdi, said the Buhari-led administration “took Nigeria from top to bottom making life miserable for all Nigerians”.
“I served under the then President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and we all saw how Nigeria flourished under that administration. We all knew what the prices of foods and services were at the time.
“We also know what our exchange rate was at the time and what it is today. I want Nigerians to do a simple comparison and you will realise how bad it has been under this government and how Nigeria has been taken several years backward by the Buhari government.
“The fact is that never in the history of Nigeria did we experience this kind of bad governance in the country.
“Corruption is so endemic in this government yet people who steal chicken are thrown into prison but people in government who are busy stealing the wealth of the people are walking free”.
