A Twitter user Hally Ramzy has blasted the presidency for saying that the President, Major Gnereal Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), is ahead of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in all ramifications.
Following Obasanjo’s endorsement of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as his choice candidate for president ahead of the forthcoming polls in February, the presidency, the ruling All Progressives Party and main opposition Peoples Democratic Party had come heavily for the ex-president.
However the Twitter user, who shared a graph of the performance of Nigeria presidents from 1999 to 2021 based on Nigeria’s annual GDP growth rate, and tagging the World Bank as the source of the data shared, said Buhari is only ahead of Obasanjo in “backwardness.”
The data shared from the graph rated Obasanjo as the highest performing president in terms of GDP with the highest rate at 15.33% in 2022, while Buhari was rated the least performing with 0.81% in 2017 and 3.35% in 2021.
Captioning the graph the Twitter user wrote, “Bashir said Buhari is far ahead of Obasanjo in every aspect, this is proof that Buhari is truly far ahead in backwardness in every aspect. Datas don’t lie. Nigerians it’s very clear, VOTE WISELY.”
The Twitter user was responding to a tweet from the Special Assistant on Digital Communications to the President, Bashir Ahmed, who wrote on Monday that, “President Buhari is ahead of Chief Obasanjo in all fields of national development and to do that is cardinal sin to Obasanjo whose hallucinations tell him that he is the best ever to lead Nigeria and there will never be another one better than him. – The Presidency.”
