Ex-President Buhari hails Tinubu, says he has performed well

The ex-president said Tinubu has performed well given the prevailing circumstances but affirmed that Nigeria is a complex country to govern.

Buhari said this when he received the Comptroller-General of Customs, Bashir Adewale Adeniyi and members of the management team of the Nigeria Customs Service in Daura, Katsina state at the weekend.

Tinubu has faced wide criticism over some of his economic policies including the removal of fuel subsidy and the the unification of the exchange rate windows.

These among other policies have caused galloping inflation, economic hardship, and the naira’s depreciation, which in recent times have led to protests.

Addressing Adeniyi and his team, Buhari said “I thank you very much for coming. I very much appreciate it. I thought Tinubu has done very well,” Buhari said. “Nigeria is so complex. Really, there isn’t much anybody can do.”
