Nobody Can Challenge Buhari – Read What This Governor Has To Say by presharthur(m): 10:58am On Mar 05, 2016
– Governor Al-Makura of Nasarawa state
said nobody can challenge the decisions of
President Buhari
– The governor was reacting to criticisms
over Buhari’s reversal on his electoral
propmise
– Buhari is at liberty to change his mind
and take decisions, Al-Makura said
The governor of Nasarawa state, Alhaji
Tanko Al-Makura, said Nigerians cannot
challenge the decision of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s not to fulfill his
government’s pledge of paying N5000
monthly allowances to unemployed citizens.
Gov Al-Makura says nobody can challenge
Buhari
Briefing State House correspondents after
meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
at the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday,
February 29, the governor said Buhari had
the right to review his party’s electoral
promise, The Punch reports.
He said: “ The president is the person that can
tell you precisely how he is working on
promises and interventions that he has created
by his ingenuity. And if at any point in time
the president is reviewing that issue, I think he
is the only person to that because what he is
doing is in the best interest of the country.
And so, it is not challengeable by anybody
whatever his position.”

Ahead of the 2015 presidential election, one
of the electoral promises of Buhari and his
party, the All Progressives Congress (APC)
was that a monthly allowance of N5,000 will
be paid to unemployed youths in the
country.
But, at the weekend, Buhari had during an
interactive session in Saudi Arabia described
the N5,000 stipend as largesse which was
not on his priority list. He stated that he
would rather channel resources into the
building of infrastructure, education,
agriculture and mining to create employment
opportunities for able bodied young men.
According to Al-Makura, if Buhari decided to
change his mind over his electoral promise,
it was for the good of the country based on
prevailing realities.
On what he discussed with Osinbajo, the
Nasarawa governor said they talked about
the security situation in his state and that of
Benue state which had led to bloody clashes
between herdsmen and farmers.
On his part, the Imo state governor and
chairman of the Progressives Governors’
Forum, Rochas Okorocha, said that the
promise will be implemented one way or the
other, The Nation reports.

He noted that more problems are sometimes
created by physical cash, saying the
president has saved the money for
unemployed youths to produce further
wealth.
“ The very poor people who have to ensure a
lot of social inconveniences to pay school fees
are no longer dong that, what has happened is
that he has saved that money to produce
further wealth, so if you keep money through
that system, it creates more impact than
physical cash ,” Okorocha said.
Buhari’s reversal on his electoral promise
has been trailed with condemnable criticisms
from many Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Lai Mohammed, the information
minister said Buhari has to downsize some
of its campaign promises because the
realities on ground are now different from
what it was during the campaigning period.
He explained that the price of crude was
$100 a barrel then, but now it is $30 a
barrel.

Ok naa..
Nobody is planning to challenge Bubu.
Nigeria just dashed him four years to play scrabble, ludo, temple run, candy shoot, draft, soccer, adventures and other games of his choice and then go and rest.
