BUHARIMETER


The Buhari Promise Tracker monitors the 50 most important campaign promises of President Buhari, re-elected in February 2019. Buhari said his top priorities were fighting insecurity, prosperity and corruption. For each campaign promise, our reporters research the issue and then rate it based on whether the promise was achieved: Promise Kept, Promise Broken, Compromise, Stalled, In the Works or Not Yet Rated. We rate the promise not on the president's intentions or effort, but on verifiable outcomes as it is done by Politifact.
