The President made this known to the public at the 20th memorial service of Iyalode of Egbaland, late (Mrs) Esther Bisoye Tejuoso, where he was represented by Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal.
In the speech read by Lawal but credited to the President, Buhari stressed that the economy would have been better if the past leaders had demonstrated managerial skills and uprightness.
He said: “If our leaders had demonstrated the foresight, uprightness and managerial skills of Chief Bisoye Tejuoso our economy would have been better. Our past leaders refused to save and diversify the economy. Chief Bisoye Tejuoso’s success story in business can serve as a roadmap on how we can come out of recession.”
