100 Unforgettable “Achievements” of Mohammadu Buhari

When Muhammadu Buhari sauntered into Aso Rock in 2015, Nigerians were told to brace themselves for a “change” of historic proportions. And they did. What they didn’t know was that the promised change was not the type they anticipated.

Here was a man carved from the purest granite of discipline. A Spartan general from Daura. A man of few words and even fewer results. A man that had no recollection of his classmates, yet we were to believe he had a masterplan for 200 million citizens.

Buhari didn’t just govern; he performed open surgery on the soul of a nation. No anesthesia, no remorse.

And boy, did he deliver. He delivered silence when the nation screamed. He delivered “technical defeats” that only strengthened terrorists. He delivered trans-generational debts with surgical precision. And of course, he delivered a vastly divided national, divided across ethnic, religious, and of course – Fulani and non-Fulani lines.

So, in honour of this outstanding legacy, we’ve compiled 100 of Buhari’s greatest “”achievements” – the kind that historians will never forget, and victims will never forgive.

Buckle up. This is change in its rawest form.
