A group under the aegis of Centre for Democracy and Development (CDD) has faulted claims by the presidency that President Muhammadu Buhari has achieved a lot since he assumed office in May 29.

The senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu had while reacting to the ?Buharimeter Report? said it was ?partisan and mischievous?.

However, Director of the CDD, Idayat Hassan, in a statement said the group?s record showed that the president performed below average since assuming power.


She also said it was wrong for Shehu to attempt to imply that CDD fabricated the 222 promises, when it was contained in the manifesto of the APC and also monitored during the campaigns of President Muhammadu Buhari as the APC candidate before his election.

?The Buharimeter Report, which the Presidential spokesman tried to impugn in his statement, is a globally recognized governance-tracking tool that works to hold governments to account for the electoral compact which ruling parties have proposed to the electorate during the campaign. Similar initiatives have been used to interrogate and assess the fulfillment of electoral promises in countries such as the United States, France, Senegal, Iran, and Afghanistan.

?It is non-partisan and innovative tool for effective citizens? participation in the governance of their country. The methodology of Buharimeter is to meticulously track promises made by politicians, while seeking the votes of the people and objectively monitor the performance of the government against those promises. His statement clearly suggests he has not even read our report but is clearly responding to certain headlines that sensationalized our report,? Hassan said.
