7 CAMPAIGN PROMISES PRESIDENT BUHARI IS YET TO FULFILL


President Muhammadu Buhari and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) made a lot of juicy campaign promises during electioneering. This prompted Nigerians, who were so desirous of change, to vote the APC, whose mantra was anchored on “Change” in most area of Nigeria’s life. Well, it’s been over 3 years since PMB assumed office.


1. To end Boko Haram insurgency in 3 months: This was PMB’s promise before the election, but on assuming office in 2015, he made it end of December. 2018 is already upon us and there is still no end in sight to the terror attacks from Boko Haram. We remain very hopeful with our president on this as we are tired of putting up stories about the death of innocent Nigerians.

2. Creation of a Social Welfare for 25 million of the poorest citizens.

Let us do the quick maths first. That's N125 billion every month and N1.5 trillion for a year. That's a load of money.

First up, how does the government intend to determine the 25 million poorest who will be receiving the aid? In a country where records are mostly unreliable and anyone can easily dupe the system, attempting to throw N1.5 trillion around the country is a fantasy program that will never get off the ground, except you fix the system first.

Can't believe Nigerians fell for this one.

3. To pay N5000 stipend to unemployed Nigerian youths: Though PMB has said this would be included in the 2016 budget. We are already in 2018...
A lie meant to win your votes.

4. One free meal (to include fruits) daily, for public primary school pupils

Osun state governor, Aregbesola, gave one meal a day to pupils in state schools during his first term and he got a lot popular for it among his people. It was a good populist program that became a hit and so the APC decided to promise it to the Nigerian people.

5. Building an airport in Ekiti state.

6. Nationwide sanitation plans to keep Nigeria clean: As far as we can tell, this has not commenced in any state of the Federation. The only sanitation plans obtainable in states are the ones put together by the state government.

7. Revive Ajaokuta steel company: The steel industry in Nigeria has been dead for a while. Nigerian were hopeful the industry will be revived with PMB’s promise to resuscitate Ajaokuta steel company.

8. Provide free tertiary education to students in certain fields.

Before the election, no one was talking about free education except the APC. People wanted government to improve the quality of education while still making it affordable for the Nigerian people. But Buhari and the APC said their government will foot tuitions for students in science, technology, engineering, maths and education.

Today, no one is talking about free education. Not even the APC.

Funny, something he couldn't do when the going smooth you expect to do so now that he's confuse too bad. Just keep dreaming
