President Muhammadu Buhari has clocked five years since he took over the affairs of the country.
Elected in 2015, Mr Buhari defeated an incumbent president to clinch the position he sought severally for. Riding on the change mantra, he historically thwarted the reign of then ruling now opposing Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Until it lost power in 2015, the PDP had been piloting the affairs of the country since the return to democracy in 1999. Its attempt to return to power in 2019 was unsuccessful as Buhari ended up defeating its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, a former vice president.
As he marks his first year of another four-year tenure, Nigerians on social media have expressed mixed reactions on his performances with many criticising the president.
Below are some reactions captured on Twitter.
The worst 5 years in history of our nation.POVERTY,INSECURITY,LOOTING,INCREASE IN PRICE OF COMMODITY,NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH,NO RESPECT FOR RULE OF LAW,BAD ECONOMY,WORST NATIONAL DEBT RATE,HUNGER,CHAOS,WORST ELECTORAL MALPRACTICES…#5YearsOfDisaster

He keeps borrowing money, who would complain if he had borrowed money and fix our electricity problem permanently! Just do one thing! Ok if you can’t fix electricity, fix all Nigerian roads and give proper drainage! Just do one thing that will help the masses! #5YearsOfDisaster

I remember how people were supporting buhari for his first term. It can't take 1 year, 2 years, 3 years fam it's been #5YearsOfDisaster and things have gone from bad to worse. Worse part if he could run again he'd still win. Because we believe in chosing the lesser evil.

Truly it's been #5YearsOfDisaster – economic deficient policies & strategies, needless massacres, no value for human lives, extremely high cost of living, needless govt spending etc
I truly don't know if it's possible but Buhari & APC should do better!!#KadunaMassacre

Dear Buhari, you came in when dollar was N215 you know what it is now, you complained about oil subsidy but doubled the money during your tenure, you have never condemned the killings by herdsmen but rather said they were foreigners, corruption is now a norm. #5YearsOfDisaster

Loans are piling.
Death & destruction everywhere.from southern kaduna to sokoto to Katsina.
A tottering economy in comatose.
Injustice & Rule of man over Rule of law.
A Partial justice-for-cash Judiciary— Portharcourt 2nd Son (@Polymat43955419) May 29, 2020
infrastructure wise, Buhari is the best president that exposed past administrations failures and made it upon himself to make heaven on earth with capital projects in the southern part of this country.
But here they're, ungrateful ratbags trending #5YearsOfDisaster.

Buhari stopped EFCC from prosecuting Danjuma Goje for N25bn fraud. 48 houses seized from Timiprey Sylva were also returned to him by EFCC. Today, he’s Minister of Petroleum. #5YearsOfDisaster#BuhariNaScam

It is only a dishonorable man that will promise during his campaign to devout more that 20% of the country's budget to education but ended up allocating less than half of that for five consecutive years.#5YearsOfDisaster
