He said among others, “We have witnessed eleven quarters of consecutive GDP growth since exiting recession. The GDP grew from one point nine-one percent in 2018 to two point two-seven percent in 2019 but declined to one point eight-seven percent in the first quarter of 2020 as a result of the decline in global economic activities due to the COVID nineteen pandemic”.

The sad truth is, Had it been the constitution allowed a president to run for a 3rd time. President Buhari will still contest despite knowing he is a failure and rig the elections to his favor and nothing will happen.#BUHARIHasFailed

27yrs after, we are still stuck with same men who saw MKO Abiola’s suffering & death. Same Tinubu & Buhari’s faces since 1993.

A 27yo man MUST have left his father’s house.

But Abacha’s men are still eating from ailing Daddy’s (??) pot#DemocracyDay2020 #June12 #BUHARIHasFailed pic.twitter.com/0X4ByuCOtw
