LP To GEJ: You're A Liar! Potable Water, Economy, All Lies. by LRNZH(m): 10:33am On Jan 03, 2015


The Labour Party on Friday faulted the claim by President Goodluck Jonathan in his New Year broadcast that access to potable water had improved from 57 per cent to 70 per cent.

The party described the message as full of praises for the security forces and the civilian populations that had given support to them in the fight against terrorism.

The National Secretary of LP, Dr. Kayode Ajulo, in a statement obtained by Saturday PUNCH in Abuja, also disagreed with the President that non-oil export had grown consistently by eight per cent in the last few years.

While commending the President for his “succinct, highly coherent and all encompassing message of hope to all Nigerians” because its beginning signals that a new nation is being born, the party said the President missed the point in some other instances.

Ajulo said, “At some other level, the message can also be interpreted as a subtle campaign by Mr. President. He tries to highlight the achievements of his administration, especially in the area of economy and expansion of non-oil revenue. He reels out figures of billions of dollars being committed to agriculture, youth development and small scale businesses.

“It leaves much to be desired, however, when the statistics provided are juxtaposed against the reality on ground. For instance, the claim that access to potable water has improved from 57 per cent to 70 per cent seems mere figures and nobody can really convince Nigerians of the veracity of such claim. The claim that non-oil export has grown consistently by eight per cent in the last few years would raise more questions than it poises to answer against the background of the reality of a nation groaning under the pain of falling oil prices and plummeting value of national currency.”

They are not blind and it's GEJ that needs to show some proofs here and not the other way round. You can as well help him(GEJ) to prove them wrong.

70% access to potable water Obviously a big fat lie.

Even urban areas in Nigeria can not boast of 50% access to potable water

The way our leaders play with words is terrible. Does the president actually mean water distribution or private access to water.

Does this 70 percent includes private boreholes?

He who is destined for power does not have to fight for it.
GEJ says he is ready to fight corruption after waiting for 6 years to study the problem. Its like using the entire time stipulated for writing an examination to critically analyse the questions and when the time is over,you ask the examiner to give you extra time to start answering the questions. Who does that?

Jonathan is a certified liar. I've made up my mind not to listen to his broadcast ever since he lied on 01/10/2012 in his Independence Anniversary broadcast over the rating of his fight against corruption by the Transperency International.

Johnie. When one has laid facts that are not true, I want to know your word for it.

I'm not expecting to hear 'a lie' but tell me your preferred word.

yeah, like Buhari producing his certificate will produce our 20billion dollars, bring back the 50 innocent souls that died during the immigration interview, stop boko haram, provide employment, and improve the economy. If GEJ has achieved, show us. We are Nigerians and are not interested in the life of GMB but about the issues that would better our lives. Pointing at Buhari makes him more popular. But showing us GEJ's achievement makes him popular.

GEJ's staunchest supporters are having a rethink.

Alot of Igbos are rejecting GEJ. We read about it a couple of days back here on Nairaland.

LP has said the truth with this disclosure. It is embarassing to claim 70% access to potable water in Nigeria. From a PhD holder for that matter.

Next in line is Adamu Muazu, PDP National Chairman.
Just like Bamanga Tukur.

This election is about GEJ and not Buhari. GEJ can implement policies that affect our lives right now, Buhari cannot because he is the president. Now, I don't need to mention what Buhari would do. All I need is for GEJ to show me what he has done or I vote him out.

What you're saying is akin to

"I chose to walk inside the gutter because I don't know what will happen if I use the kerb/sidewalk. I may be hit by vehicular traffic or I may slip and fall inside the gutter again".

Brother, if you don't take calculated risks you can't taste glory in life.

GMB is our calculated risk. Try in February and thank me later.
