Ezeife, Afenifere, Arewa Youths Berate President Over Campaign Promises Denial by TalkItAll: 5:43am On Sep 02, 2015

THE Presidency’s denial that a campaign docu-
ment, entitled My Covenant With Nigerians,
originated from All Progressives Con-gress, APC,
was greeted with angry reactions yesterday.
Many, who spoke to Vanguard expressed
disappointment at the denial, describing it as a
betrayal of confidence.
The document, which had gone viral on the
social media, detailed electioneering promises
purportedly made by the President.
Buhari insensitve—Ezeife
Former governor of Anambra State, Chief
Chukwuemeka Ezeife, said: “President Buhari has
very serious problems. The most worrisome is
what seems like a design to scatter this country
through his appointments.
“Whether he is spending 100 or 200 days is
irrelevant. Where are his ministers? Where is the
representation on the basis of the geo-political
zones? Junaid Mohammed stoked the fire by
saying that President Buhari does not owe
Ndigbo anything.
“By denying the South-East the position of the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
the President acted in an insensitive manner.
“We have six geo-political zones in the country,
but the North-East has dominated the
appointments made so far.”
APC’s greatest deceiver—Babatope
Former Minister of Transport, Chief Ebenezer
Babatope, said: “I hope it is beginning to dawn
on Nigerians now that APC is the greatest
deceiver we have in this country.
“That the party is now denying the document
that emanated from them during the
electioneering campaigns is very unfortunate and
in due time we will respond.”
It’s a swindling of electorate—Afenifere
Pan-Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere,
described the denial as the highest level of
perfidy.
Afenifere’s National Publicity Secretary, Yinka
Odumakin, said: “It is what I will call the
swindling of the electorate; it is also what I call
obtaining under false pretence. We saw all the
promises flying around and APC never disowned
those promises.
“They erected billboards all around major cities. I
was thinking they would say it was because they
met a different thing on the ground. But to tell
us that those things were not promised is the
highest level of perfidy. It is most unfortunate.
“That is the price the electorate would pay for
not asking questions.”
Betrayal of trust—Shettima
On his part, National President of the Arewa
Youth Consultative Forum, Alhaji Yerima
Shettima said: “It is one thing for politicians to
go to the field and make promises, and another
thing for them to implement those promses.
“However, we should not be in a hurry. They
have their reasons. Perhaps, it is as a result of
the challenges they are facing.
“Of course, they are aware of these problems.
But I think it amounts to a betrayal to tell
Nigerians what you would do and you fail to do
it.”
Breach of social contract—Ajulo
National Secretary of the Labour Party, Dr.
Kayode Ajulo, said: “The ethnic slant in the
appointments so far is just too obvious, and we
cannot afford to just ignore these ominous signs.
“Do the praise singers of the President expect
Nigerians to fold their hands and watch or join
them in cheering the President as he tows the
dangerous path of sectionalism and nepotism?
“It is uncharitable, breach of social contract and
utter deceit and conspiracy against Nigerians for
Buhari to deny the knowledge of these campaign
promises.”

Why not stop all this noise of yours and let's what see what will happen in the next four years.

PDP spent sixteen good years and APC never spend half a month.

Wait till 2019 to make another decision.
