A growing number of Nigerians are angry with President Muhammadu Buhari’s handling of the economy, but a majority blame the former administration of Goodluck Jonathan for the economic recession that has brought untold hardship, a new poll shows.
The October 2016 survey, the first by Governance Advancement Initiative for Nigeria (GAIN), since Nigeria officially fell into recession, sought to obtain Nigerians’ views on two issues.
The first asked who they Nigerians blamed for the recession, while the second question sought to compare the performance of the Buhari and Jonathan governments across a number of areas such as security, war against corruption, availability and affordability of food and the economy.
“While 60% of Nigerians held the Buhari government partially or completely responsible for the recession, 74% believe that the Jonathan government is to blame,” GAIN said in its report last week.
Also, “while nearly similar numbers (28% for PMB vs 25% for GEJ) believed both governments were partially to blame, more respondents (49% for GEJ vs 32% for PMB) believed that the Jonathan government was completely to blame for the recession”.
