Buhari’s Approval Rating Falls Amidst Economic Hardship

By Correspondent

 In the monthly poll by Governance Advancement Initiative for Nigeria, GAIN, President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval rating has slipped further from 32.8% in February to 31.2% in March, amid worsening economic crisis and crippling fuel scarcity, according to a new poll.The poll scored President Buhari low on his administration’s handling of the economy, power and fuel shortage.It is the second time the president’s rating dropped since GAIN, in December, started monthly tracking of performance of governments at all levels in Nigeria.In earlier months, the poll found that majority of respondents did not blame President Buhari for Nigeria’s economic troubles. They blamed former President Goodluck Jonathan instead.In January, the president’s approval rating stood at 63.4%.The trend however shifted significantly in February as the nation’s economic crisis bit harder.”˜A crippling fuel scarcity continued to affect individuals and business across the country, and had a concomitant effect on transportation and business costs,’ said Malcolm Fabiyi, one of the poll’s coordinators, who previously served as a visiting professor at the Lagos Business School.
