"Mr President additionally neglected to react to the way that his unforgiving financial arrangements and demarketing inclinations, has caused a shortage in nearby and outside direct speculation, prompting more than 30 million occupation misfortunes as point by point by free overviews including those by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). 

"Correspondingly, Mr President neglected to express that because of his inadequacy, the naira has tumbled from the N165/1USD he met in 2015 to N360 to 1USD. He had no words at the expansion in the cost of fuel from N87 in 2015 to N145 and in addition the climb in the costs of staple sustenances and basic items in Nigeria under his mismanagement. 

"Besides, President Buhari asserted that under his organization, defilement, including audacious robbery of billions of naira and shady oil bargains have turned into a relic of past times.
