President Buhari also said his administration has not performed badly. When asked how he would describe the country today and he said, “Well, I want Nigerians to be fair to this administration.
“They should reflect seriously on the time we came in especially as far as the North East and the South-South are concerned.
“Where we are now in terms of resources – how much we are producing… The previous administration before me was producing 2.1 million per day at 100 American dollars per barrel.
“When we came in, militants in the South-South were unleashed on this administration and production went down to half a million barrels per day and then oil price collapsed in the market.
“I will like Nigerians to reflect on these in terms of resources…and I believe that we have not done very badly.”
