President Muhammadu Buhari has for the umpteenth time accused the Jonathan administration of bequeathing an “ailing economy” to him in 2015.
Buhari made this known when new Sierra Leonean President, Julius Bio, visited him at Aso Rock on Wednesday, presidential spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu said in a statement.
“President Buhari noted that he shared a lot in common with the Sierra Leonean President, which includes ruling the country as a military general, contesting several elections as opposition and winning to face the challenges of security and an ailing economy,” the statement read in part.
Meanwhile, Buhari said that Nigeria “will continually stand by you to ensure stability in your country. We believe security in the West Coast region, Africa and the world should be a collective concern.”
Responding, Bio said, “Nigeria and Sierra Leone are two sister countries that have enjoyed a great relationship spanning over several years and this relationship has been tested severally.
“I came today to express our country’s gratitude to the Federal Republic of Nigeria for standing by us during our time of need, when we had the civil war.”
