Afenifere should burial their face in shame. I don't have problem with them but that Yoruba name they are using to commit their atrocities must stop otherwise.
believe me afenifere endorsement of Atiku is not what determine the result of election, it is the voting of electorates. Write it down, Buhari will sweep the entire south west come 16th February.

See Atiku's supporters insulting the ACF on this thread.

I don't know why they are angry with ACF. Just as you have your candidate, they have theirs and I don't know why that is paining you.

SaiATKUOBI2019:
the road to Jonathan's Village (Otuoke, in Ogbai LGA) isn't actually a federal government road. Its the responsibility of the state government, which is in PDP.
So how can the president construct a road that isn't a federal government road, when there are thousands of federal government roads seeking for attention.
I was in Otuoke a few years back and I didn't notice any road construction. I however comfirmed from a friend that the news making rounds is actually the dualization of the Yenagoa road (This is a story for another day).
These are cheap lies by APC.
Its just like Fashola claiming to be building a road to Obasanjo's Home, while he is working on Lagos-Ogun road.
Is Lagos-Ogun the road to OBJ's home?
This is just a mere campaign talk and nothing more.

Road leading to the home of a sitting or past president automatically becomes a federal road. Same as roads leading to all federal universities nationwide and all federal secretariat etc etc etc. You should know your country brov. Thanks.

This is your own opinion but it is my right to vote my choice among others
odiks:
Barely four days to the presidential election, the apex northern sociocultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has finally endorsed the candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) President Muhammadu Buhari.

Addressing a press conference on Tuesday at the headquarters of the forum in Kaduna shortly after a meeting held under the Chairmanship of Malam Adamu M.Fika, Chairman Board of Trustees of the forum, the forum resolved that “ACF believes that President Muhammadu Buhari deserves a second term to consolidate on his achievements”.


The text of the briefing which was read by Alhaji Musa Liman Kwande Ag. Chairman NEC reads in parts; “ACF takes note of the state of the political situation as the nation goes into another round of elections, where tensions are heightened as a result of intense campaigns, lobbying and horse-trading among political actors.

“ACF takes special note that major political parties have nominated prominent northerners, for the February 16th 2019 Presidential Elections. The Forum has carefully studied the antecedents of major presidential candidates, the manifestoes and policy documents of their parties, alongside the need for social, political and economic stability in the country.

“ACF is therefore, of the view that certain attributes such as clarity of thought, unity of purpose, content of character and morality of the candidates, their leadership qualities, performance and general acceptability of the candidates contesting for not only the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria but also for other elective offices should guide voters in making their choices”.


The decision on who to elect should not be based on any form of inducements, mob hysteria, intimidation or false promises, but by calm and deliberate consideration of the candidates’ qualities of leadership, performance and moral standing in their public and private lives.

Furthermore, other considerations such as capacity to tackle security challenges, fight corruption, and boost the economy by way of diversification away from over dependence on oil, by infrastructural development in order to promote growth. The integrity of the candidate to raise the image of Nigeria in the comity of nations is equally important in the election.


“ACF notes, the strides taken by the Buhari administration to improve and reposition the nation economically. A few examples are: The multi-billion Dollar Mambilla hydro power project, the exploration of oil in Gongola Basin of the Benue trough, the Baro inland port, the North East Development Commission, the ongoing rail line projects nationwide, and other critical infrastructural development projects
.

“Consequent upon the contributions of the incumbent government to the economic and infrastructural development of the nation, and the government’s achievements in combating insurgency and other insecurity problems bedeviling the country, ACF believes that President Muhammadu Buhari deserves a second term to consolidate on his achievements”.


ACF also called on the politicians and their supporters as well as the electorates to avoid all forms of violence before, during and after the elections, stressing that violence is never a solution to any grievances.

“Violence not only destroys our democratic process but also lives and property. Democracy is a contest of ideas and reasons” it further stressed.

ACF also urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to live up its promise and assurances for a credible, free and fair elections.

The forum equally called on the Police and other security agencies involved in providing security to the election process to remain neutral and professional in their conduct.


Those who attended the meeting were Alh. Adamu Fika, Board of Trustee (BoT), Gen I. M Wushishi Chairman ACF leadership selection Committee, Alh. Musa Liman Kwande, Ag Chairman, Ambassador Adamu Muhammad, Deputy Chairman BoT, Senator Abubakar H. Girei Vice Chairman NEC, Anthony N .Z Sani Secretary General, Engr Abubakar G. Umar Deputy Secretary General and Alh. Muhammad Ibrahim National Publicity Secretary.

If some people are not blind they should know that president Buhari is not the right president for this country. How do you describe the fact that a whole President stands before a crowd to declare a gubernatorial candidate as a presidential candidate, how can you describe the fact that some sects have turned human beings to chicken that they slaughter and the president has bluntly refused to do anything, I just don't want to believe that Leah Sharibu is actually dead, if she is, then the president should not even bother about second term if he truell has integrity.

If this information is real, then Arewa(northerners) still has a long way to go in liberating her people from the shackle of poverty and ideological enslavement by their elites.
Buhari may be everything good, but he cannot provide good governance. God bless Nigeria.

But, why is every group trying to dissociate themselves from our kleptomaniac patient?

Atiku don enter one chance again....

Atiku should not worry, I am sure our blodas will always stick with him because they are the only people known to have failure running in their blood and whoever they support fails.
Atiku loot this,Atiku thief that. If you confirmed that he did all that,yet no one could arrest him. He wasn't hiding,he even came forward and got a nomination form to run for the presidency,yet he wasn't arrested ,tried or even invited for questioning his legendary kleptomanism as we are made to believe.So this is how they are fighting corruption. Letting a robber WALK around and gunning for presidency. Now he is giving Buhari black eye,some fools are here shouting looter for Buhari. If you are one of them,YOU are irredeemably USELESS! FG has 24 hours to arrest him or Buhari and his lieutenants are the thieves themselves.L

changes. However, as the #1 citizen, his impact and leverage are the highest." Could you list the reasons? Here is the list of 34 reasons I said Buhari is not the reason Nigerians are suffering today:

1. The PDP got $1 trillion dollars from crude oil sales in 16 years and no visible change in the country. Buhari got $97 billion in three and half years and turned the whole of Nigeria into a giant construction site.

2. It is the PDP that looted Nigeria into recession but Buhari pulled us out of recession in less than 12 months due to smart implementation of brilliant economic policies.

3. Compare Nigeria and Venezuela economy.

4. Thousands of Venezuelan citizens are crossing their land borders into Brazil because of economic hardship.

5. Another example is Cyprus and Greece.

6. The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) miracle.

7. Despite earning 1 trillion Dollars under PDP, Nigeria was still owing $6 Billion Dollars to multinational oil partners leading to job losses. Buhari paid it back in two years.

8. The Nigeria Customs Service used to remit disgraceful amounts to the treasury. But now, it is projected that it would remit between N1.5 trillion and N2 trillion Naira in 2018. In 2017, it remitted close to N1.4 trillion to the treasury.

9. The Nigeria Customs now remits about N2 trillion Naira to the treasury instead of about 50 Billion under PDP.

10. The federal inland revenue service now remits around N4 trillion naira per year to the treasury unlike before under GEJ when it used to remit N2 trillion.

11. The implementation of the treasury single account which was conceived by GEJ only started under Buhari and over 4 trillion was accumulated in a year.

12. The implementation of the BVN by President Buhari eliminated 75K ghost workers from the civil service thereby saving Nigeria N200 billion per year.

13. Unlike before when fuel scarcity was a recurring decimal, now under Buhari this problem has been nipped in the bud.

14. The 3K MW Mambila Hydropower project which was conceived decades ago has now received counterpart funding from the FG and it has been awarded to a Chinese construction firm for $5.7 billion. Most of the funds for the project will come from the China Exim Bank.

15. Buhari has recovered looted funds of over N1 trillion looted under the PDP/GEJ’s 3-year administration and these recoveries were factored into 2017 and 2018 budgets for the FG.

16. Buhari has been able to purchase over a billion-dollar worth of military hardware to fight terrorism.

17. Smuggling, armed robbery and brazen embezzlement of public funds have reduced drastically under President Buhari.

18. Buhari took us from a one-product and oil-dependent economy to a diversified economy. From spending billions of dollars on rice importation and from being the biggest rice-importing nation in the world to becoming the biggest rice producer in Africa and the 6th largest in the world.

19. He is also putting billions of naira in the pockets of Nigerians directly via the rice related anchored borrowers’ program which has created over 12 million jobs and over 4 million rice millionaire farmers.

20. Cash is paid directly to the poor via the conditional cash transfer of a non-refundable sum of N5k per person per month under Buhari. 10k per person is being paid also under the TraderMoni program and this amount can be scaled up to N100k if the beneficiaries pay back the loan.

21. Over 15m pupils are getting one meal a day with a drink and this has increased school enrolment.

22. Over 4,000 capital projects were included in the 2018 budget alone and Buhari is doing his best to disburse to contractors despite the fact that Saraki reduced the funds for these 4,000 projects by N347b. Buhari has so far spent over 2 trillion naira on roads, bridges, airports, primary health care etc. Instead of 18 Billion spent by Jonathan.

23. 500,000 previously unemployed graduates now have jobs under Buhari N-Power program.

24. Pensioners who were forgotten are now getting paid including ex-staffers of the Nigerian Airways 35 years later. An Ukraine-based pastor Sunday Adelaja. Source: Original

25. Also, ex-service men including those who served under Biafra got paid the gratuity that the FG had been owing them since the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and their pension payments have been regular under Buhari.

26. Thousands of Nigerians who would have continued to die in roads the PDP did not fix for 16 years cannot say Buhari has not made his impact felt considering the fact that over 500 federal roads are currently being fixed by FERMA and the Federal Ministry of Works all under Buhari.

27. There is not one state in Nigeria today where the Federal Government is not executing at least one road project.

28. Difficult or abandoned projects like the 2nd Niger Bridge have been brought back to life.

29. Sections of Ilorin-Jebba, Sokoto to Jeba, Sokoto-iletahave been completed. While progress of works continues nationwide from Jada to Mayo Belwa, Enugu to Port Harcourt, Lagos to Shagamu, Benin to Okene, Lokoja to Abuja, Kano to Maiduguri, Abuja – Kaduna, Kano to mention a few.

30. Millions of Nigerians will benefit from the dual carriage standard gauge rail lines scattered around the 6 geopolitical zones of Nigeria.

31. Thousands of artisans and graduates draw on loans of over N50b made available to them through the bank of industry with only their University certificates serving as collateral.

32. Boko Haram used to control 26 local governments in Nigeria but now it controls none. . Paris Club refund and Bail out to all the 36 States for 2 conservative times to the tune of $3B.

33. 20,000 Nigerians rescued from Boko Haram captivity including 100 Chibok girls and 100 Dapchi girls.

34. Jonathan met 64 billion dollars in the foreign reserves of Nigeria Depleted it to 29 billion despite making 383 billion from oil alone. They spent the 383 billion in six year, borrowed 20billion dollars, then went to the reserves to vandalize the reserves Today Buhari with three times less income has been able to increase our foreign reserves to 43 billion, and still executing more projects on ground. The current administration was voted into office promising to defeat corruption and recover the looted funds. How can Nigeria get rid of corruption? It is going to be a long and difficult fight for Nigeria to get rid of corruption. The only way to do it is to first of all change the value systems of the Nigerian people. We need to change our mindset. The government unfortunately right now are not paying keen attention to values. They are rather paying too much attention to the fight against corruption through police and government groups that they had set up. But the only way to get the country out of corruption is first to change the mindset of the people.
