EXCLUSIVE: OPINION POLL: Buhari Has Performed Below Expectations - Majority

Before the election that brought Buhari into power, support was divided between supporters of Buhari and Jonathan. Many people were expectant, they needed a change in government, someone with integrity, someone like Buhari.

However, after more than a year into his four years tenure, opinion have changed greatly. KARIFEST was in the streets to find out from people what their opinion is about Buhari's government, this is what they had to say:

The economy of d country is dwindling. Everytthing has been skyrocketed, I expected more from him but he has not tried. I'll rate him 40%. - Mr Gabriel Egbohor

There is no performance, how do I rate someone that has not performed at all? Buhari did not come for leadership. He came for revenge, he's angry because of all the election he lost before I guess. - Corper Lamosi

We shouldn't judge him yet, things are not good now but I'm hopeful. Maybe during his last two years things will improve, maybe. If I'm there I might perform better or even worse, you can't tell. - Mr Nwamaka Nwachukwu

This is not what I expected O, I won't lie to you. Buhari has disappointed all those who believed in him. We voted for change but it's not working. What Nigeria needs is restructuring. - Mrs Uzondu Ijeoma

That man (President Buhari) has not tried at all. He has ceased everything. I don't even get customers (in my restaurant) anymore. - Mrs Jennifer Chukwu

The country right now is not good, people are crying. The change people voted for is not what they are seeing. He promised more than he could offer. - Mr J.A.J. Amahabi

Things have been difficult since we voted for change. Everything is scarce since Buhari entered power. Don't be surprised it might not be his fault, but since he's the leader, he's the one we should blame. - Evans Calabar

The President have performed poorly. More was expected from him. So far he hasn't done anything, there are no good changes. -Mr Chime

I believe that Buhari have a vision to an extent, but he hasn't delivered yet. Maybe he should focus more on creating more job, not just corruption. Buhari needs to work harder. - Mr Steven

Performance? What performance? Look, our leaders are not doing well. Not just Buhari, but both in state and local government. What they do is they steal our money and dump in another country. It's only in Nigeria you see a graduate riding keke. - Corper Mimie

When he was coming we were hearing change, but this is not the change we were expecting. People are suffering, Buhari have change everything. We don't even know where we are going. His method is not working at all. People are hungry, and believe me, an hungry man is an angry man. - Mr Nwadimuya Daniel

20% is my rating for him. He has been really poor. He hasn't performed at all, what we hear are excuses. Miss Lyrics Okoye

Speaking as an average person, things are difficult. The masses are not comfortable at all, my family are not. His administration has been bad. - Mr Henry Okwugbo

We have to look at this topic critically because I believe that our President inherited a lot of trouble. Corruption is everywhere, even in the judicial system and public service. In all fairness I will say he's trying, although I expect more from him. - Mr Obah Patrick

As for me Buhari is doing well, we should be patient. Because of him most people are running into farming. - Mr Toju

Buhari is trying. The only problem is that the cost of everything is high. But if you look at it in terms of corruption and security, he has done well there. That's why I say he's trying. - Mrs Iyedo

Firstly, I believe it's a global problem. The price of oil fell from over $100 dollars per barrel to about $36. So that's a big loss. But I also believe that the president didn't put his house in order early. For me I'll rate him 15%. - Mr Donatus Etse

Nope...the country seem to be heading to doom. Because in the last one year and few months the president has been on seat, there is absolutely nothing to write home about. O ye..he chanted "Change", I was wondering if it was really Change or chain? He came in to make a show off..o yes. Even if he had the mind of making this country a befitting one, what's actually delaying him? To me...he has done nothing and I'll rate him 0%. - Miss Gift

The economy is making me think better. As good as you can see, take advantage of the bad situation and turn it to good. - Mr E. Onyema

The economic state of the country is in d hands of the bourgeois. The country is indeed very rich but the bourgeois (elite) have adopted a sight tightism method on it. President Mohammadu Buhari's govt is one of the worst government so far. - Nwankwo Blessing

40% in a scale of 100, that's my rating for him. The economy is on standby, no headway yet. - Mr Uche Ike
