Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) urged President Buhari to return to his home in Daura and take a deserved rest at the end of his tenure.

The opposition party gave the advice when responding to Buhari’s plea on Monday, December 17, for more time to fix the nation shortly after a special parade organised in his honour by the guards brigade of the Nigerian Army to celebrate his 76th birthday.

The national publicity secretary of the PDP said President Buhari had done what he could do, but unfortunately, his best was not good enough for the country.

The party urged the president to heed his doctor's alleged advice to rest, eat and sleep more. The PDP said that the county needs a president who could work tirelessly to get the nation working.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming?
