President Buhari Did Not Say He Was Saying Rubbish During Campaign - Cola by cola: 1:25pm On May 31, 2016
Earlier today (31st may), a certain topic appeared on this board titled "We Were Saying Rubbish During The Campaign" - President Buhari.
The OP posted 'The Cable' online news-media as his source and the thread was pushed to the front-page by some mod.
In fact, though, 'The Cable' never titled the article as the OP did, but rather as "I feel pity for Lai Mohammed" -says-Buhari

The part of the article that the OP picked on to spread the misinformation and aided by the mod that pushed it to the front-page is as follows:

“Most of the permanent secretaries were sent out because it was time for some of them to go and for others for one thing or the other. Because were not part of those 16 years this is where we found ourselves and this is no joke.

“We had to cut down half the number of permanent secretaries and then do some cross postings. The permanent secretaries that were there for the past five, seven, 15 years the only thing that they know is how things were done in the previous years. Whatever we did in the campaign, in fact we were saying rubbish and that made it very difficult for us.

“Things were even more difficult during the budget which you all know about. For somebody like me, for the first time I heard what is called padding.



Now it is either the OP and his army of co-travelers on that thread are challenged with comprehension or they are deliberately and mindlessly mischievous and seeking to incite against the president.

The statement of the president should be clear to anybody with a decent education and a claim to literacy that he was talking about the attitude of the perm secs who had spent several years doing things the old way and the only way they knew how. These perm secs could not care less about all the promises of change that the president and his party were making on the campaign trail. In fact to them -these perm secs and directors of MDAs - all the talk of change were all rubbish. He said this was the reason many of them had to be relieved and others were even bold enough to 'pad' the budget - something he (the president) had never heard of in all his years in public service).

Summary: "The permanent secretaries believed we were saying rubbish"
Comprenez?

This without doubt is what the president was reported to have said. The obvious twist is either a deficit of comprehension skill or a deficit of moral decency. I suspect the latter, though.


May I also request that this 'explanation' thread also deserves to be seen by all by being given the attention necessary on the front page. Thanks, sir.

Do not incite against others with lies and half truths, it could turn full circle to come back at you.

whether or not he meant that the apc were saying rubbish or that the perm. secretaries said it, the truth remains that with all that is going on now, all the apc's campaign promises were...

RUBBISH

you don't have to agree with the president or his party on their performance, but to twist his statements to serve mischievous purposes is indecency.
And anybody that believes a president, any president, would come out declare that he was saying rubbish in the campaign really needs to be pitied. Maybe in a light mood, yes. But seriously, come on, think again.

What should we believe now. Whether or not the President said they said rubbish. Whatever we think he said, we should just understand that nothing we argue here will change anything.

[size=18pt]every time this old fool opens his mouth to speak, he will need another paid agent to come explain to people what he actually meant versus what he said.
this is what you get when you elect someone "even if he presents his NEPA bill as his school certificate" . . .

you even have time sef responding to these "never do wells" who think with their wailing mouths and blokos rather than with the brain (plAce where cognitive ability and skill reside)

Even if Mr President turns Nigeria to an Eldorado today they will concoct and continue to be rebellious like the Egyptians, my brother you know where they ended (inside red sea)

Mr President has done well ignoring these insignificant people who make up less than 20% we the remaining 75% will continue to pray, hope and believe strongly that the foundation he is building will never be shattered by PDD and their "come chop" people.

PDP couldn't transform Nigeria in 16years they have seen magician that they didnot vote for that will in 12months

and i say Amen to any prayer that has to do with PreSident running my life the way he is running Nigeria

Hmmm Nigerians sef! So Op you're now Buhari's spokesman. Who told you he was referring to the permanent secretaries not the APC campaign promises. As I'm concerned, he made an ambiguous statement, hence can be interpreted to mean anything. So keep your explanation to yourself

Sometimes when I Look at this great country nigeria,I weep,not because of the current crisis we face as a nation but because of the laziness,high ignorance and stupidity highly imbedded in our youths..thank God for Internet now everybody feels like they got a view when in real life they have no clue whatsoever..I'm not in support of any politician whatsoever but it's saddening to realise that 80% of everybody cursing and abusing the president don't even have a meaningful reason other than the socia economic problems we are facing presently..have you taken time to contribute anything ??check all the problems we're facing...investigate it,learn about it and Yall will realise we are the problem of the country!

on the contrary, the OP has said some of you lack the ability to read, understand and interpret. the article was written by the Cable blog, not by PMB
