“The economy has gone out of Buhari’s control.” – Lai Mohammed, May 29th, 2016 on ChannelsTV
The Buhari administration has been an abysmal failure in its one year in office. Having inherited the largest economy in Africa, along with the number 1 destination for foreign investment on the continent, the administration has proceeded to run a number of policies that have crippled business and cost millions of jobs.
In addition, President Buhari has taken the most divisive socio-political posturing since the return of democracy to Nigeria. His positions have exacerbated the crises in the Niger Delta as well as the agitation for the declaration of a sovereign state of Biafra.

However, it is important to discourage efforts at propagating lies and propaganda by agents of the government to deceive people that the war is over. Between May 2015 and the time of writing this report, the terrorist group has killed about 1000 Nigerians in various locations in the North Eastern region of the country.
Indeed two separate events led to the upsurge in killings – a) the dismantling of checkpoints in the North East in the early months of this administration b) claims by the Minister of Information – Alhaji Lai Mohammed – that bokoharam had been “technically defeated” which led to the terrorist organisation killing people to prove its ability to hit sensitive targets at will.
We strongly urge the government to stop all forms of premature claims aimed at scoring political points as such claims will put Nigerians in the line of fire.
