Ngwa man... You never cared about corruption when GEJ was in power, how come you do now? Because PMB has changed the narrative. Give credit where due.

How market? Are you still eyeing the oil blocks tender in 2016 seeing as your man GEJ and madam Ngozi are no longer in power?

IsraeliAIRFORCE:


Stop changing the subject.

Actually, I am a full card carrying member of APC and a foundational one for that matter hence I don't see how change of government affects my business concerns.

The truth for now is that Aisha Buhari's kinsmen are now incharge and at present we want to negotiate with the inner circle for equity sharing though the big catch in petroleum industry is no more there hence we are now diversifying into agriculture and captive power generation and distribution should Fasola see the need to liberalise the lincenses.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
This is just the morning. I warned all and sundry when they were asking what GEJ did for the Easterners and why he should be re-elected. I made everyone who cared to note that had Babangida not overthrown Buhari in 1985, Southeast economy would have been erased and millions die of starvation just like during the war.

History is on the verge of repeating itself. Buhari will certainly reduce Southeast Economy to the level of Bokoharam infested Northeast if Southeasterners fail to remain on the street to protest the unfair economic policies.


Before I forget, read the direction the Buhari Government is taking and prove if the article is a lie from day one.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
I told Nigerians and warn bigots against voting out GEJ.

Jonathan had a cabinet capable of managing austerity or even recession.

APC is a socialist party whose policies are directly opposed to trade liberalization and open economy.

And for Buhari, he is not wired for 21st centuring democratic governance and is not ready to sit back and allow Prof. Osinbajo implement his vision for greater Nigeria.

Saturn213:
The president makes a lot of sense.

He restates his total commitment to restructure the economy and also restructure the composition of the ministries and departments. This is made clear in the quote below:



This shows that the Buhari administration is methodically attending to the challenges facing the nation. It is going to take some time but the framework has been evidently instituted.

May God continue to give him wisdom and the courage to move Nigeria forward.

Buhari..... Please remove the CBN Governor..... he's the weakest link

Ngwakwe, corruption starts with me and you, lying is also corruption.

ZeroTolerance:
No concrete facts, how much exactly are you going to generate from blocking leakages? 6 trillion is not 6 Million or even 6 billion.

Ngwakwe spare us that Apc card carrying thing abeg.

Mr President Sir, under the last administration the ministries was 28/29 and not 42. Thanks

Secondly, we shall hold you to your words but we pray that you succeed.


That's all I'll say for now

Shame, a Nigerian president granting interview in Hausa all the time.

LRNZH:
Now it makes sense why Col. Hamed Ali was sent to customs and Babatunde Fowler to FIRS.

The amounts of funds generated and looted in Nigeria Customs and Nigeria Ports Authority are better imagined.

Maybe this oil price fall is a blessing in disguise for Nigeria. We have to diversify our national revenue base, whether we like it or not.

President Muhammadu Buhari has explained that despite the fall in the international price of crude oil, measures taken to block leakages in the nation’s revenue generating agencies would ensure enough cash to fund the N6 trillion budget he recently submitted to the National Assembly.

The president gave the explanation in an interview with Mansur Liman of the BBC Hausa service on Christmas eve. He also spoke on his government’s ‘success’ at defeating the Boko Haram insurgents.

PREMIUM TIMES’ Sani Tukur translated the interview;


BBC: You recently submitted the biggest budget estimates in Nigeria’s history to the National Assembly, and this came at a time the price of oil has drastically gone down in world markets. How do you intend to get money to fund the budget?

PMB: As a government, we inherited N1.5 trillion domestic debt and when foreign debt is added we have about N2.2 trillion. Everybody knows Nigeria is not a poor country, we are rich, and we have human resources, the problem had been that leadership did not take seriously, curbing corrupt tendencies.

Apart from highlighting our debt profile, we have also shown the changes we have made in the Customs for instance, how; much we are making from the Customs service, how much from petroleum, that is NNPC; how much we are making from the ports. There have been lots of leakages in these sectors. If we block these leakages, we would make much more money to run the country despite the fall in the price of oil.

BBC: You earlier mentioned Boko Haram. After your assumption of office, you gave a deadline of December to bring an end to Boko Haram insurgency. We are almost at the end of December, does it mean you and the armed forces have failed?

PMB: I want people to understand that after I settled down and got good grasp of what the country is going through, we removed all the service chiefs and appointed new ones. We also undertook an investigation and found out how the monies meant for arms procurement were diverted and shared by officials in the last administration.

They sent the boys to the war front without arms and ammunition, leading some of them to mutiny after which they were arrested and detained.

We have been able to raise money and fund the war. Go and ask the people of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa; how many of their local governments were under the control of insurgents? And how many are currently still under the insurgents?

May be we would not win the war completely by the end of the month, but the insurgents have now resorted to putting on explosive vests on young children, mostly girls aged 15 and below and then sending them to markets, mosques and churches to detonate.

Boko Haram themselves know that the era of them taking over communities and local governments are over. If people would be fair to us, they would know that the Nigerian Army has basically met the deadline and are winning the war.

You cannot find any significant number of Boko Haram members in Adamawa, and Yobe, only may be in about three local governments of Borno in the area around our borders with Chad Republic. They are not in a position to threaten Nigeria now, so we have won.
