However, while it is true that PDP was in power when Nigeria recorded her highest FDI in 20 years, that did not “always” happen. Also, in 2013, Nigeria was not the number one recipient of FDI in Africa under a PDP administration!

General TY Danjuma DID NOT accuse President Buhari of Sponsoring Fulani Jihadists
We tried to reach Gen. Danjuma but to no avail. However, the vagueness of the post and the fact that there exists various versions of this same post makes it false and most likely, a deliberate misconstruing of information to mislead.
