Former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, has claimed that the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari left a flourishing Nigeria behind.
Sirika said Nigeria’s economy and educational sectors were better under Buhari’s administration.
In an interview on Arise Television, Sirika said: “That because of Buhari’s actions and inactions, the country has been thrown into hardship, I don’t want to be dragged into that debate.
“The truth of the matter is that Buhari did extremely well on the economy. I’m not an economist but I do know so because I’m in the country and I know so because the country at the time was in a good state.
“The country was in a much better state at the time, both in terms of the economy and the education sector. I believe President Buhari left behind a country that was flourishing.
“However, I’m neither President Buhari nor President Tinubu, so I cannot fully comment on the policies they made or the decisions they took while in office. I don’t think it would be fair for me to sit here and criticize policies.”
