Mr Snake
Buhari's popularity is waning and everyone wants to jump ship.

ehie:
if he wrote the letter in 2016, why was it made known in 2017 after they must have kissed and made up, maybe being the turncoat he is, he is leaking the letter out forming man of the people, i would advice El Ruafai to deal with his Fula brothers and not play political soap operas as he is wont to do

Nne5:


Nobody's allowed to give a certain someone wailers form.

OlujobaSamuel:
hmmmmmmmmm, 30pages? bubu no fit read such abeg, and "the good for bad examples only" cabal wey fit read am no go reveal the details to him.

modified
abeg, elp me, is memo not meant to be brief? which kind memo dey reach 30pages

SalamRushdie:


Buhari is no more popular he is now infamous for incompetence and poor vision

yudee233:
I don't believe this because ElRufai is not permitted to be wailer

SalamRushdie:
This must be the letter that sent clueless Buhari on Medical vacation

Caseless:
popularity waning , how? All the votes buhari got from the south is not more than 3million . In fact he got just 100k from the east, so what are you saying?


If you think You know the candidate that can defeat buhari, just let me know. Buhari is more popular than ever.

eph123:


Had to laugh hard at this line.

But you are right, he is certainly more popular than ever. You know it is possible to be popular for completely wrong reasons. So yes, I agree with you, he is certainly more popular now than ever for the untold economic hardship he's plunged this country into.

Caseless:
nah! Far from that. He's popular for so many good things.

eph123:


Which good things is he popular for? I am curious to know.

Caseless:
too many things. Don't pretend as if you don't know. I can't start listing them cos the list is endless.

eph123:


You don't need to mention all, just 2 or 3 will do.

If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you, and I am not pretending here, completely serious.
At least if I know, when next I see a similar thread, I won't ask. Fair?

Caseless:
They don’t want us to talk about the 14 solar power projects that have been licensed to boost electricity supply in the country; the Mambila power project which will soon leave the drawing board and the many Chinese projects including the standard gauge railway.

“This country has more important things to talk about instead of dwelling on trivia.”

Shehu said the price of a bag of fertiliser had reduced from between N9,000 and N10,000 to N5,500.

He said only 58,000 tonnes of rice were imported in 2016 against 1.2 million tonnes of rice imported from Thailand in 2014.



“As a result of the country’s growing rice production, assisted by the decision of the government to deny foreign exchange through the Central Bank for the importation of rice, parboiled rice mills in some Asian countries are shutting down production because Nigeria, one of the world’s largest importers, is not buying.

“Five of such mills in Thailand servicing Nigeria have stopped production due to the withdrawal of our patronage.

“Currently, government is watching with keen interest the growing investment in rice milling by the private sector and will continue to give encouragement through the Ministry of Agriculture to such efforts by BUA Industries in Jigawa, Dangote in Kano, OLAM and WACOTT in Nasarawa and Kebbi and what a consortium of businessmen led by a former governor in Anambra State are doing.

“The increase in the volume of rice production and processing is already saving this country a lot of money,” he added.

eph123:


Thanks for getting back. Note, this is one example you have mentioned - and you earlier stated they are many, so I will be expecting the rest.

Now back to this one, this post above states that due to increase in local rice production, 5 mills in Thailand have already stopped production (this has to be verified by a Thailand source mind you because I will not take the words of any Nigerian govt aide, as they do not live in Thailand and can claim anything) - my question is this, the price of rice has doubled in the last 2 years since this administration took over, so how come the "increased production" is not leading to a reduced cost? How can Nigerians be happy if they are paying a far higher price for a staple product consumed in most homes? Until Nigerians can buy rice at a competitive / affordable price, I am sorry but I would not count this as an achievement.

Caseless:
everything mentioned here are verifiable.
On many federal roads , rehabilitation or constructions have been flagged off.

The power is a bit stable .

A tremendous success has been recorded in terms of security(though we still have pockets of attacks here and there which is normal).

TSA: you know how much this has saved us.
Most loopholes , if not all, are plugged. Ghost workers are not having a field day anymore and the issue of civil servants earning multiple salaries are over.

The legislators are not getting Ghana must go from the executive like it's the tradition in the past.

The runway in Abuja is under construction and we all thought it could not be possible.

We are gradually easing out of recession and the naira is gaining strength week in , week out.

There's an improved peace or relative peace in the ND and our oil output has increased.

Fraud on subsidy has been nipped in the bud .

Custom revenue generation hit the ceiling under this administration.


For the first time , non-oil revenue grew and even outweigh the oil revenue last year.

The tax net is being expanded.

The war against corruption is on course . Prosecutions are being secured . Corrupt officials ent to kuje(this can only happen under buhari).

Judges are being exposed for their shady dealing and those not caught are made to sit up.


The list is endless.

Sorry for my belated reply.

eph123:


Caseless, if you claim the list is endless and you have listed all these things above, WHY has Nigerians' sufferings tripled since this administration took over?

The aim of good governance is for the benefit of the masses. As long as inflation is still in the double digits, companies are folding up, still no constant electricity, forex still double what it used to be barely 2 years ago. AS LONG as these things remain, the verdict remains that this government has failed.

An achieving government does not need lists to speak for it, no, the people will speak for it.

No worries about the belated reply, take your time.

Caseless:
the question should be , are they doing anything to save the situation? Yes, they're !


I hope you're not saying if Jonathan was here would have been better. Everything you see happening now, especially recession, was predicted as far back as 2013 by okonjo iweala and subtly analyzed by sanusi.

Both the immediate and remote causes of what we are going through are not unknown , but people choose to place everything on Buhari even though he's not completely innocent.

As per power, what do you want the government to do? Take it away from the private hands Jonathan left it? Or the intervention by federal government with over 700billion earmarked for that . They're hands are tied , like fashola said and they're doing what they can.

eph123:


Let's not divert the attention to Jonathan, Buhari has been in power for 2 years and should rightfully be held accountable for the economic state this country is currently in, no more excuse is acceptable by simply blaming the past administration.

"They're doing what they can" is not acceptable either because they campaigned for change, they therefore must deliver what they promised.

Nigerians are extremely disappointed in this man's administration, practically every campaign promise is yet to be delivered meanwhile we are halfway gone. If things were the same as before, it's bad enough but the situation of things is actually far worse than it was 2 years ago.
