Those promises were made at $100 dollar oil. Not realistic at $30 dollar oil. Leadership must evaluate its decisions at every moments.
Kudos PMB.

Yes it is a failed promise. But it is better to made d right decision even though it may lead to failed promises.

PMB did not deny the promise was made. He is only saying on his scale of preference, that is not among top priority.

PMB is a firm and sincere leader. He speak his mind straight up.

No president in the world including United State of America, have ever succeeded in fulfilling all campaign promises.

At every point in time, a leader must evaluate what he consider most important to d nation and make a bold decision. Leadership is dynamic

It is better to be criticise for not achieving a campaign promise than implementing a promise that is unrealistic just to save face.

Even if it means losing the next election,or losing popularity, a leader must put the country first.

The funny thing is dat those wailers who never supported the idea, who said it will prokote laziness, will still be the one to condemn and criticise him for not prioritising it instead of commending him for doing d needful

Op sometimes just shut up instead of defending the indefensible. During the campaigns when ordinary Nigerians pointed out the folly of such a promise considering the rapidly declining price of crude oil, what did you broom waving witches and wizards say ? I myself categorically asked on this forum how such a crazy promise would be fulfilled but you zombie sheeple refused to use your brain because of partisan politics. Good morning APC zombies, welcome to gradual reality

That is why it is campaign. They are promises. They are not binding. What of all the failed promises PDP has made for 16 years? Abeg park well. Obama promise to close Guatanamo bay in first term, he did it do. It is now he is ending his second term in 11 months time he is planning to do dat. May Buhari may fufil dis promise in 2023 just like Obama.

The day APC, Buhari and his handlers as well as supporters like u stop holding PDP which u so love to hate and other countries as a yardstick is the day we will know that you people really have good intentions otherwise u are nothing more than better riggers of an election. The more disgusting part though, is that APC exploited the ignorance of a vulnerable majority to ride into power and have now turned around to discard and deny promises without so much as a by your leave. What is the difference between both parties other than names and logos? Is it not almost the same people that didn't live up to promises under PDP as u referred to that have populated d APC?

How can u compare the closure of Guantanamo bay to a promise that touches on the basic survival of many, that may make d difference between life and death at some point? Does Guantanamo bay affect the lives and economy of Americans?

I still see an attempt to separate the party from Buhari on d premise that he didn't make the promises himself and I shake my head in wonder. So who flew d flag of the party during campaign and elections? On what platform did Sai Baba ascend into power? Who is d direct beneficiary of those promises turned lies? Who has toured 25 countries in 9 months on the strength of those lies? As he didn't utter the words personally, did he dissociate himself from those promises? Did he not by his conduct acquiesce to said promises?

Now, you say the promises were made when oil was $100/barrel and I marvel at the sheer ignorance and stupidity manifest by that statement...is that supposed to be a joke? As at campaign and election periods, oil prices were already hovering between $60-$70 and all indications pointed to further crashing of prices. Did he and his team not know or follow the trends? Were they too dull to understand the implications and tailor their words accordingly or is someone just being too much of a zombie who will rather justify the clear emotional and fundamental rape of the vulnerable members of the society?

Does Buhari really mean to focus more on agriculture and education when the Ministry of Information is awarded far more funds than these areas in his very iffy budget? When d VP has more funds for books than some higher institutions exactly how is he planning to build up education?

Finally, a man of true integrity knows his words are his bond! Failure to take cognisance of pervading realities or deliberate lies/deception cloaked as mere election promises to be discarded like dirty underwear at the earliest convenience is no excuse. He fails to honour that promise then he is no better than the next opportunistic and dirty politician only after his personal interest. That level of deception is the height of corruption and that makes nonsense of his anti-corruption stance.

Comparing Obama and Buhary?

tuale4u:


You are only ranting. You are living in election mode. I am living in governance mode.
I dont care about what campaign promise were. I only care about good governance. Any campaign promise that is not realistic today can go to hell.

For those who cares so much about campaign promises, you can use ur PVC in 2019 and vote what u want.

Leadership is about optimising available resources for the best of the country. Not wasting it on project in order to look good.

otil1:


Let's even take it at governance mode; I ask, what has changed?

Beyond all the noise about looted funds, what else? Media trial, that's all.

Meanwhile, as of today:
Total accused of looting -thousands
Total arrested -hundreds
Total charged to court -units (actually 2; Olisa and Dasuki)
Total convicted -none

Charles Soludo wrote how unrealistic this would be but Feyemi countered that, @ OP the oil crisis did not start during Buhari's administration rather it started towards the end of GEJ administration, APC knew about the oil crisis before making the proclamation, at a time they even wanted to divert the N5k been for less privileged and not the unemployed, now no pay at all, left to me APC shouldn't have made that promise N5k to the unemployed is an economic blunder in this country but the APC saw that as a cheap propaganda to gather votes though it's all politics but dubious for some individuals that claim integrity.

Buhari did not win d election because APC promised 5k to unemployed graduate.

nobody wins an election because of one reason, several factors contributes to winning an election and the N5k was a big factor to APC winning the election. or you can tell me that 1 particular reason that APC won the election
