Former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Bode George, on Tuesday said former President Goodluck Jonathan has
better records as president than the late former President Muhammadu Buhari and
President Bola Tinubu.
George said Jonathan’s period as Nigerian president can’t be
compared to that of Buhari and Tinubu’s current era.
The PDP chieftain spoke in an interview with Arise
Television while commenting on Jonathan running for president in 2027.
He said: “But what is striking, and it’s the fact that they
were comparing Jonathan’s period with Buhari and Bola’s period. How? Let’s the
will of the people be respected.
“If you look at Jonathan’s period, ask any Nigerian and ask
them what have you been feeling since from Buhari’s period to Bola Tinubu’s
period.
“Check out the economic indices, is it the interest rate?
The inflation rate? The value of Naira compared to the dollar?
“Who is happy now? Whether you’re a rich man or a poor man.
You go to the market. Things that they used to buy for maybe about 5,000 Naira
is now about 25,000 Naira. And they are claiming that they are economic
indices.
“Anybody who is coming out will show their documents. And
whatever Nigerians felt during Jonathan’s period and what they are feeling now
with the APC in government.
“I said if Jonathan comes and he wins, he has a good record,
much better than Buhari and Bola Tinubu together, much better.”
