The SGF said President Buhari is aware of the suffering of Nigerians.
Secretary to the government of the federation Babachir Lawal has assured Nigerians that the current economic recession being experienced would be over next year.
Addressing a group of pro-Buhari protesters in Abuja on Tuesday, February 14, 2017, the SGF blamed the recession on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) administration.
"Baba Buhari didn't anticipate the problem that we are in," Lawal said.
"The people who caused this problem are the one challenging the government. I tell you that they will fail in the name of God. In fact, they have failed.
"You are aware of the economy that the president inherited, the economy in which revenue has virtually collapsed. The infrastructure is no where to be seen, roads were dilapidated, schools dilapidated. The hospitals were abandoned," he added.

"I assure you that by the grace of God, in the next one year, Nigeria will have a booming economy. We know what they were doing to try to sabotage the activities of government to bring Nigeria back to economic prosperity.
"This, I can assure you. I assure Nigerians that the president is aware of the temporary suffering we are going through. It pains him. But the pains have to be borne this way for prosperity and goodness to return to our country," he added.
The protesters, however, clashed with the Police while trying to forcefully gain entrance into the villa.
Addressing the supporters at the Unity Fountain, special assistant to the President on media and publicity Garba Shehu, apologised for the initial obstruction by the security agents at the main gate of the presidential villa.
