LIVE FACT CHECK: Verifying Osinbajo, Obi, vice-presidential candidates at 2019 poll debate

To keep politicians accountable at the vice-presidential and presidential debate, TheCable is live-checking the supposed facts and figures being bandied by those seeking the highest offices in the land.

The participating parties are; Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN), All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Young Progressives Party (YPP).

Peter Obi of the PDP, and APC’s Yemi Osinbajo are debating alongside Ganiyu Galadima of ACPN, Khadijah Abdullahi of ANN and Umma Abdullahi-Getso of YPP.

CLAIM BY OBI: Total loans from the banks in Nigeria is N19trn and only 0.5% goes to SMEs

CHECKED: Unverified

CLAIM BY OSINBAJO: There is a tax threshold for SMEs, SMEs get to a level before they pay taxes

CHECKED: Verification in progress.

CLAIM BY GALADIMA: AFCTA will not benefit Nigeria

CHECKED: Cannot be proven by facts.

CLAIM BY OBI: African trade today is less than 9 percent

CHECKED: False. Intra-Africa Trade is 16 percent.

CLAIM BY OSINBAJO: Nigeria went down by 64 places under PDP, but has risen by 24 places under APC

CHECKED: True and False. Nigeria went down from 120 to 170 between 2008 and 2015, under PDP rule. Under the APC, ease of doing business has risen from 170 in 2015 to 146 in 2018, according to the World Bank Ease of Doing Business report.

CLAIM BY OBI: Oil give you 80% of foreign exchange earnings

CHECKED: False. According to CBN,

CLAIM BY OBI: To bring out goods from Apapa cost more than it takes to bring goods from Europe

Verification in progress

GALADIMA: We have four refineries in Nigeria, and none is working.

CHECKED: False. The refineries according to NNPC reports are working at sub-optimal levels.

UMMA GESTO: Nigerian Airways was one of the largest in the world

Verification in progress

OBI: Apple Inc’s market cap is bigger than the economy of Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt

CHECKED: Dicey. Apple’s market cap today is $788.57 billion. The economy of these three countries are bigger than Apple. When Apple was $1 trillion a few months ago, it was bigger in dollar terms.

Editor’s Note: This is a developing situation, the claim verification is an ongoing process. As soon as they are verified, they would be updated.

Keep To the fact checks above.VP Osinbajo also lied shamelessly that:
-"Nigeria produced 90% of rice consumed in Nigeria today while it imports the other 10%."
-"Lagos-Ibadan road construction is still ongoing"
-"Poverty went up from 80million in 2004 to 100million in 2015.
Our aim is to reduce poverty level necessitated the Social Intervention Program-- Prof.Osinbajo.

Nigeria today have the woeful honour of being the poverty capital of the world)

-"Subsidy is good.... The Federal Government cannot remove petroleum subsidy now because of the effect it will have on Nigerians"-Osinbajo

Osinbajo confirmed that APC govt acknowledged there is Subsidy.Meanwhile Buhari said "Subsidy is a fraud.Subsidy does not exist."

Then President Jonathan removed subsidy in 2014 and pronto, the self-serving but myopic APC started the "Occupy Nigeria" protests @ Ojota-Lagos.

Nigerians have no idea that they are yet to see the worst.

Wait till Buhari wins 2019 election;

1) Fuel will increase to 250Naira/Liter

2) Data cost will increase

3) Dollar will be valued at 450Naira / $.

The worst is yet to come...

Do you doubt me?

See what Buhari told governors... "They should expect hard times to come"

Where is now the Next Level?

https://www.nairaland.com/4904475/things-harder-than-before-president

Elections are around the corner; the questions are;

1) Where is Mamman Daura?

2) Where is Abba Kyria

3) Where are the cabals?

They have sent their barking dogs like Osibanjo to go suffer. Once APC wins, they continue as usual.

THINK before you vote!!! cheesy

Well, for me, throughout the debate I kept waiting for Peter Obi to 'wow' me with his much touted rhetorical razzmatazz but alas that moment never came. I had to conclude that he is all hype and little substance. At a point he was almost shouting while hardly making any [China] sense. That's besides his fake stats.

Lol I noticed how you stylishly and conveniently labeled all OBI's stats as unverified, pending and false and in the same breath was quick to brandish Osibanjo's points as facts.How quick it is for you to quickly "verify" Osibanjo's points and label them as facts but got lazy and just labeled obi points as false and unverified. You didn't even hide the bias.

Where NL dey get these people from? grin
