Spokesman of Buhari Campaign Organisation, Mr. Festus Keyamo, SAN, has said that since 1960 when Nigerian gained independence, no government has touched the lives of the poor like that of President Muhammadu Buhari. Festus Keyamo Keyamo made this known at the inauguration of Buhari/Osinbajo Project 2019 in Ilorin, Kwara State. Keyamo, who delivered a lecture on the occasion, said the previous administrations established the worst system of government, based on sharing formula of the nation’s treasury. He said Buhari has done was to take the bullet from the rich to protect the poor. “They operated a system that ignored physical infrastructure in the country, that ignored the plight of the poor, the weak and the vulnerable in Nigeria,” he said. “If you compare what accrued to the country in 16 years and what were done with the money earned in three years and infrastructure built by Buhari, you will see the difference. See Also: 2019: What matters is Buhari’s integrity, not age, says Keyamo “In 16 years, all they did in the South East was Onisha-Owerri road, whereas in three years, President Buhari is doing four major road construction in the region. You have a president who has fought for you, why can’t you fight for him. “This is the time he needs you more to fight for him. It is reciprocal and that is why we must remind ourselves today why we must stand firmly behind him in 2019. “I can tell that there is no government in the history of this country since 1960 that has addressed the plights the poor, the vulnerable in the last three years than this government.” He listed the administration’s intervention programmes for the poor and vulnerable which included the N5, 000 monthly stipends, feeding of over eight million school pupils and soft loans of between N250, 000 and N350, 000 to small business owners.

According to him, before Buhari came on board, over 24 state governments were unable to pay salaries of their workers. He said the administration, with prudent management of resources, approved bailout funds to the states to clear the arrears and address their critical challenges. “We should not go back to that era of nonpayment of salary and suffering of the masses,” Keyamo added. He also called on the people of Kwara that the time has come to free themselves from “slavery, from oppression and subjugation”. “You must fight for your liberation before you can be liberated, we must come together to salvage the state form the oppressor,” he said. “No man is god, no to hegemony in Kwara, you must stand firm, this is the time Kwara people are living Egypt for the promised land.”

Keyamo has turned from a freedom fighter to a praise singer. Praise singing is now very lucrative...

Of course, cause even the poor no longer have lives in them to be touched...
We won't see affliction a second time, righting our wrongs come 2019.

Double post!
