"This country has degraded so much under Buhari, majority of Nigerian are poorer than they where 6 years ago. Prices of food items and other commodities are constantly going up without coming at all.
"Besides the economic woes the country is facing, we are also battling with insecurity with many Nigerian killed by bandits and terrorists and nothing serious is been done to stop the guly senario ", he said.
