Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, reacted in a post on his Twitter page on Friday,  advising   President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration to work with facts when criticising previous governments.

The president, while giving  his speech during the 60th anniversary in October 1, pointed out at Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administrations beginning from Olusegun Obasanjo’s in 1999 up to that of President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015, of presiding over the near destruction of Nigeria.


He said, "No government in the past did what we are doing with such scarce resources. We have managed to keep things going in spite of the disproportionate spending on security.


“Those in the previous governments from 1999 to 2015, who presided over the near destruction of the country have now the impudence to attempt to criticise our efforts. In the circumstances, a responsible government must face realities and take tough decisions.


Atiku Abubakar  reacted on Twitter. Saying Obasanjo’s administration was a period of restoration for Nigeria.


He said,  “Between 1999 and 2007, Nigeria paid off her entire foreign debt while maintaining an unprecedented 6% annual GDP growth.


“Those were periods of national restoration, and I am very proud of the work President Obasanjo and I did for this nation we care so much for. Facts don’t lie.”
