Jonathan’s remark follows accusation that he left a bad economy for his successor to inherit.
The Buhari-led Federal Government since assumption of power last year, has continued to accuse it’s predecessor of being responsible for the country’s current economic challenges.
But the former President, in his response to these criticisms, maintained that he handed over the best Nigerian government with the largest economy in Africa to Buhari.
In a statement he personally signed, Jonathan said, “I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the World, with a GDP of $574 billion.

Needless to say, my amiable President...You could have left them to continue to wail...Everybody, including their supporters,knows that APC Government has already failed...Let them continue with their propaganda,in a matter of months, we shall see who is fooling whom...Well,as events are unfolding...
ReplyDeleteu are expected to remain silent. wot is gud in the economy that doesn't affect the lives of common Nigerians positively. only u and ur people benefited basterdly from the economy. economic development is known through increased standard of living. u are a bastard, u brought these menace to us
ReplyDeleteYes true largest economy but with empty treasury. You expect us to fill it with our urine abi?
ReplyDeleteWhile you and your cohorts carted everything to European countries to build their nations. Tufiak
Empty APC propagandists squandered all you ve laboured for. now have nothing to show the nigerians.If APC cant take the heat, they should get out of the kitchen. Buhari should plz resign if he cannot resolve the bad economy. it is done in other countries instead of you to hold power and be complaining....RESIGN IF YOU CANNOT GREEN UP OUR ECONOMY PLEASE I BEG YOU IN THE NAME OF HUNGRY AND ANGRY NIGERIANS
ReplyDeleteThis people have been blaming PDP for one year six month now on top nothing as far as am concerned they have nothing to offer, the only witchant opposition and innocent Nigeria imagine because someone name his Dog Buhari he was sent to prison useless and clueless people
ReplyDeleteHi Johnson for APC blaming PDP is nothing new. A failed government must find his predecessor to blame. In UK, Conservative and Lib Dem blamed Labour for 5yrs while in USA. Obama did not fo one day blame G.W Bush because he knows his policies are going to work and he chose the best brain as his secretaries. Imagine Clinton whom Obama defeated to win Democratic flag beerier worked under him as secretary of State for 4yrs. Can that happen in Nigeria???
DeleteEven though I was no fan of yours. We must call the spade a spade and not a digging tool. Your regime plundered this nation left right and centre. And you seem not to have been in charge of the country, thus anything went. However your team of Ministers seem to know what they were about therefore thing's worked and the economy grew.
ReplyDeleteThe reverse is the case today. We now have a president who is in control of the nation, this regime so far are yet to show their thieving side, but we don't seem to have a ministerial team that know what they are about. The result is a shrinking economy.
I just wish we could do some swapping to cancel out the wrongs.
Hi Gerald, You made a good point. For a country to move forward. The president must pick and place round peg in a round hole. Our current ministers are not really the best of the 170 millions in Nigeria. Think about our finance minister. I have not seen any concrete policy from his ministry to better our country's failing economy.
DeleteShort and simple with statistical facts and figures. Unfortunately, you are neither a northerner nor a moslem,so your achievements has to be rubbished by blackmail.
ReplyDeleteTell dem brother tell dem brother. D tink d are smart but we know u don't brag and talk about ur achieves u don't even lie.
ReplyDeleteThanks my Good person Good luck , Buhari where are you ?
ReplyDeleteThank you my amiable president we know that you are just been castigate as a matter of fact they were already confessing to their iniquities we know you mean well but the scoundrels are not happy than to put the nation in shamble
