This is even made worse by the fact that in 2019 Nigeria ranked 93rd out of 117 qualifying countries with a score of 27.9 below Guinea and Mali in the Global Hunger index.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is also regrettable to note that the Buhari-led APC administration has plunged Nigeria deeper into the debt trap after the country had exited from its initial debt burden from the London and Paris Clubs under the PDP-led administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is indeed sad to observe that Nigeria\u2019s external debt hit a 16- year high of $27 billion in December 2019, just higher than the $20.8 billion in external level as at 2005 when Nigeria exited from the club of its foreign creditors. Any loan acquired that is not directly tied to a meaningful infrastructure that can help Nigeria\u2019s progress should not be taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur country under this same administration has also scored high on the global terrorism index, reaching an all-time high of 9.01 percent in 2016 and 8.6 percent in 2018 on the global terrorism index from an all-time low of 6.31 percent in 2010 to 7.9 percent in 2012 during the period the PDP was in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis unfortunate situation has placed our nation in the league of countries deeply wrecked by terrorism such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Syria etc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The governors said they feel the pains of Nigerians in the North-East, North-West and other parts of the country who are victims of terror attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said on Thursday the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration had supervised Nigeria\u2019s slide into extreme decay in the last five years.
