■ It was so messy that his successors could immediately award a contract of 15 trillion Naira to family and friends just to build a 700km road – money that can build thousands of kilometres of roads!
■ It was so messy that his successors could immediately afford to purchase a luxury yacht, hundreds of luxury Prado Jeeps worth over 200 million Naira each, etc!
■ It was so messy that his successors could afford to continue with and complete a number of his key infrastructural projects in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory!
■ It was so messy that his successors could afford to spend a whopping 21 billion Naira to overhaul the official residence of the Vice President!
■ It was so messy that the immediate task of a new Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation was to begin to corner tens of billions of Naira for herself and her cronnies, so much that she even flew on a nonexistent airline to a nonexistent airport!
■ It was so messy that he met only 8 rice mills across Nigeria in 2015 and was able to raise them to 91 when he was leaving office in May 2023? What’s the definition of a messed-up economy?
■ It was so messy that he also met only 4 fertilizer blending plants across Nigeria in 2015 but was able to multiply them to over 60 before leaving office in May 2023? How do you define messed-up economy?
■ It was so messy that he left you the highest number of irrigation farming projects across Nigeria, which was born out of his vision and ambition to revolutionize agriculture in the country so that we don’t have to depend on food importation, and also so that our farmers can enjoy financial prosperity, right?
■ It was so messy that his successors across the board are living a very flamboyant life of luxury!
■ It was so messy that all the revenue generating reforms he instituted at the Customs Service and the FIRS are still generating high revenues for the federal government, right?
■ It was so messy that he has an unbeaten record of building the highest number of infrastructural projects across the country, right? – including fixing the 4 federal refineries, which economic saboteurs are now so unwilling to allow to function because of their personal businesses!
■ It was so messy that he built the highest number of new roads, bridges, railways, seaports, dams, remodelled airports, new schools and colleges, and new federal housing estates across the states, so much that all you needed to do was to continue on that trajectory and the country will continue to enjoy a boom in its economy, right?
■ It was so messy that you inherited the best national electricity infrastructure renewal projects from him, and all you needed to do was to continue with them and get the country on a robust energy production and consumption, isn’t it?
■ It was so messy that he bought the highest number of warships, fighter jets, armaments, etc, for our military establishment, including a massive renewal of their infrastructure across the country, which you are simply expected to use and build upon, right?
■ How could a messed-up economy successfully maintain a stable currency exchange rate and also successfully tame inflation for nearly 8 years without letting the Naira and the purchasing power of Nigerians run riot?
■ How could a messed-up economy attract a lot of foreign investors, with the Organized Private Sector enjoying robust growth through the establishment and expansion of new industries, thereby accelerating the growth of the service sector? And why is it that it is now that these foreign investors are leaving and the local industries collapsing?
I can go on and on and on…..
“Apparently, the IMF doesn’t know what messed-up economy means.
