Renowned sociopolitical analyst Reno Omokri has criticized the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari, labeling it as the worst in Nigeria’s history. Omokri suggested that President Bola Tinubu should consider probing Buhari, rather than solely focusing on the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
Omokri, known for his outspoken commentary, highlighted the contrast between Buhari’s tenure and that of former President Goodluck Jonathan, whom he praised for his efforts in defeating Boko Haram. Omokri emphasized that during Buhari’s administration, security challenges, including insurgent activities, escalated significantly, leading to widespread instability, particularly in Northern Nigeria.
The analyst further asserted that Buhari’s economic policies had detrimental effects, resulting in a significant decline in Nigeria’s GDP during his tenure. Omokri compared the economic performance under Buhari to that under Tinubu, noting a notable increase in GDP following the transition of power.
Omokri’s remarks have sparked discussions on the performance of past administrations in Nigeria, with a particular focus on security, economy, and governance. This critique sheds light on differing perspectives regarding the leadership and policy decisions of former Nigerian presidents.
