Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has denied saying President Muhammadu Buhari will take 10 million Nigerians out of poverty, Igbere TV reports.

Reports had it on Thursday that Osinbajo said President Buhari would take 10 million Nigerians out of poverty in the next 10 years.

He reportedly made the pledge when he paid homage at the palace of Emir of Gwandu, HRH Muhammadu Bashar, in Kebbi State.

But reacting to the controversies surrounding the statement, Osinbajo said he never said 10 million Nigerians but 100.

The Vice President, who spoke through his Media Aide Laolu Akande, in a tweet sighted by Igbere TV, on Friday, wrote;

FOR THE RECORDS: VP Osinbajo said earlier today @ Emir of Gwandu's palace in Kebbi that "the President has promised that by the Grace of God, we will take 100m Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years." The VP could'nt have said 10m Nigerians. Please ignore any misleading reports.

Lol ....Abi oh, this politicians just dey use our brain do yam porridge

Abeg make I laugh. Local man cannot can. Was still trying to figure out how they will take 10M people out of poverty and someone said its fake news. That the right figure is 100M.

Crack kills and causes mentality!

Just say no!

Hmmm

Ok

Why is this Pastor Professor turn Politician lieing like this?

Lies. For a start,I don't understand how he came about Buhari and the 10yrs issue. Does it mean Baba is going for 3rd term ? Secondly, if they are telling us that our population is less than 200 million,does it mean that in 10yrs,half of the populace will be out of poverty.Osibanjo should please clarify. These kind of lies makes devil look like a saint.

They can say so....because they won't be in Power then and mentionables must have forgetting their exact deeds and promises. So it's safe to say so....without industrial projections

oh oooo! Blessed lies every where.

You can promise what you know you can never deliver.

Reason why religion thrive in this shithole nation.

Just promise
Promise
And promise..


That's all

Lol, they are now increasing the lies. Well, Tinubu should shaa be looking for another party for 2023

If this is true ,then the Devil has now made Osinbajo his Regional director for Africa .

I give up .

I do not take political statements serious .

Oga tell buhari make them sell this country make we share the money. GIVE ME MY INHERITANCE.

He insist in 10years,i don't think this people will give up power o.. How can you say 10years when you are given 4years madate?

osibade please tell us the numbers of Nigerians you and bubu drove into poverty in the last 5years

Osibanjo is mad, whether he said 300m it doesn't matter here. how many years does Buhari want to use to raise Nigeria out of poverty when many Nigerians live hopeless in his past administration


record had it that, Nigeria had highest record of suicide under his govt than any govt in Nigeria.

Buhari that spent months to appoint ministers as if the ministers are from Medina and Jerusalem. make person hustle and move, waiting for Buhari is a total waste of time, that mallam must be one of the human God regret in his creation
