Some Of The Many Issues With Mr President's Address On May 29, 2013: by Hope2015: 2:56pm On May 30, 2013
1. According to Mr President He stated that "they" ask him not to talk? Who are these "they" who asked him not to talk? Is it because they have realized he doesnot have the charisma or he is not articulate enough to marshal d achievements under his leadership?
2. Some might opine that the SGF (Pius) & CME (Ngozi) did that on his behalf. The question is were they the ones elected by nigerians and why must they be the ones to do the talking when the elected president is around? or Was it a case of attending to some other "important" matters
3. Mr president claimed he used 1hr to present his scorecard at his 1yr in office but spend less than 15mins to present a 200page documents after 2yrs in office with a promise that if "they" allow him to present next year he will spend like 3hours to present. Who exactly is in charge of the presidency, Mr President or the people he kept on referring to as "they"
4. Score card presented in hard copy document distributed to only invitees (remember attendance was strictly by invitation) with no online access given (at least nothing of such was mentioned then & up till now), was he actually voted for by his selected audience?
5.How does he intend to disseminate these "achievements" contained in the document to other nigerians (which to the best of my knowledge are in majority) who can neither read nor write when Mr President found it difficult to talk to them when they were are glued to their TVs & radios to listen to the person they voted for as President? We hope come 2015, Mr President will not bother to address the masses (if "they" ask him not to), Mr president will either send them document they can't read or ask SGF or CME to talk on his behalf
6. Mr President was talking about "marking scheme". I think he who sets an exam is responsible for developing marking scheme based on established syllabus for the exam. During campaign & electioneering, Mr President didnot ask the masses to set the syllabus for his government, rather he set or developed the syllabus he "intended" to run with which were mirage of promises made at different campaign fora in virtually all the states of the federation by Mr president himself & not any of his aides working for him now. We asked Mr president to please tell all nigerians the Key performance Indicators (KPIs) for all the projects he promised to execute? To average nigerian, the indicators are nothing but physical completion & presence of these numerous projects, their accessibility, their affordability & their relevance to immediate needs of nigerians!
7.How can we be talking about agricultural transformation when this transformation is only paper agric? What practical experience does the minister of agric have in proper farming? Does he have any farming company incorporated in nigeria or outside nigeria to show his antecedents in agricultural transformation? when in fact most of the transformation meetings are held in airconditioned hotel halls in abuja or state capitals when the real farmers are in the sun in the thick bush or forest
8. We laid too much emphasis on airport "renovation", what percentage of nigerians are actually affected or benefited from the renovations when compared to the percentage making use of roads on a daily basis? Priority are given only to Roads in areas frequently used by the VIPs. e.g. road leading to abuja airport was given so much attention when the roads immediately after the adjourning road to the airport ( geri junction - gwagwalada - lokoja) are done half harzardly.
9.Appointment of Prof Jega is seen as the only electoral reforms achievement. What happen to institutional reforms? So, if Jega leaves today, we are back to status quo? 3yrs after voter registration still no voter's card!
10. How well has this administration faired in other essential areas like health, education, trade & investment. We kept on hearing FDI - foreign Direct Investment worth millions of dollars that we can't feel?
11. We would have expected Mr President to give nigerians summary of where he started from, where he is at 2 and where he intend to be at year 4

In conclusion there4, we dare Mr President to boldly tell all nigerians specific things he intend to accomplish at the end of this 4year term without which no nigerian should vote for him if he dare presents himself for re-election come 2015, Rememneber goals are suppose to be specific, measurable, achievable, Realistic, verifiable, Timely which in the case is 2015. For instance, categorical statement like hold mr president accountable for nothing less than say 10,000 megawatts of electricity by mid 2015, building specific number of new health facilities, specific actions & deliverables on agric, refineries, employment, cost of adminsitration among others.

Thank you
