What do we say of APC?

APC is disappointing but still better than PDP. Consider these points:

If PDP had not privatized Ajaokuta Steel and Mambilla so shabily, imagine where we would have been today.

PDP sold many assets and did not pay the pensioners, APC is paying them today.

We had so many shady deals and court cases from the PDP era. APC is cleaning the mess today.

PDP reduced excess crude account from 107 Billion dollars in 2004 to just 2 Billion dollars in 2015 with almost nothing to show for it, yet they borrowed 67 Billion dollars despite having their debts wiped off in 2004.

Foreign reserves reduced to 29 Billion dollars in 2015 despite the fact that we earned about 87 trillion naira in 16 years of the PDP. In contrast we have barely earned 12 trillion naira under APC.

Jamb remitted only 54.7 million naira prior to APC, today Jamb is remitting Billions and do not even need allocations from the Federal Government.

Under PDP, NNPC never declared profit only losses. In 2021, NNPC declared a profit of over 600 Billion naira.

Unfortunately for you, things like fiscal policy have indicators that can be measured. Buhari's federal government has recorded a budget deficit every year from 2015 to date - and his government will still record a deficit this year. What is there to celebrate?

No he hasn't.

The constitutional amendment bills (including bills for LG financial autonomy) from the NASS are still rotting away in various state houses of assembly as I write. Buhari's party has a majority in the NASS and also has the majority of state governors as well as majorities in state legislatures. Yet, the Buhari led APC government has been unable to successfully pass bills for LG fiscal autonomy - after 8 long locust-ridden years. With all his influence and the powers at his disposal Buhari (like all the other failed presidents before him) has been unable to get his party to enthrone this basic principle of fiscal federalism. If that bill isn't passed before he leaves, Buhari can add this to his long list of failures.

Why are we buying diesel for #1000 a litre as against the #250 under past president?
A litre of fuel is now #200 as against the #97 he met it.
He promised to make the commodities more cheaper during campaign.
A bag of rice is #40k as against the #10k under gej.All these analyses you are giving are not factual.You are just a brown envelope blogger.

You have to carryout a comparative analysis when measuring performance of a government to have idea of it's work.

How much was diesel, kerosene, fuel sold in Cameroon, Chad, Benin, Togo or Ghana in 2015 with Nigeria and juxtaposed it to how much is being sold today.

What about other commodity as well as exchagebraye in Nigeria and those countries.

The problem of Nigerians is exaggerating our worth and lack of in-depth knowledge about how global economy affect local ones.

What could a government that solely depend on oil done when the price crashed below 30$/ barrel?

How would a government that doesn't want to remove subsidy in a private driven of oil importation when neighbouring countries ended up with half of our subsidies fuel?

How would a government that it's only source of forex comes from oil sales and diaspora remittance when the reserves have dried up and there's nothing left to sustain value of the naira.

What would a government do when the foundational structure is faulty and the entire nation needs a restructure?

You all make one sided arguments all the time:

How much is bag of rice,cement,gas....

What you should pray for is increase in your earnings so you can pay for bag of rice no matter what it is.

We are talking strategic and futuristic developments here and all some Nigerians care about is bag of rice rather than increased infrastructure for increased jobs and then increased earnings?

Bleep off

What do you want me to prove about Buharis sterling performance in infrastructure? The evidence are there for all to see. 2nd Niger bridge is a testimony, rail system, airport upgrading, approval sea ports are projects even his enemies cannot dispute.

You are one of the few that seems to understand the complexity of governance but you are being partisan with your reference to APC regarding passage of fiscal autonomy for Local government.

This has nothing to do with APC having majority as it is purely a personal interest of individual state government.

Tell me why did Lagos state and Rivers state pursued the control of VAT by States with Lagos and Rivers being in opposition party, yet none of the governor from the SE lend their support to this vital move that would at least lift a step in our quest for restructuring?

Why are the leeches to Nigeria resources collectively kicking against restructuring despite being in opposition party.

These are some of the things that requires a strong willed president to summoned and my post never show that Buhari is capable in that aspect.

So you're trying to say am not Nigerian, nothing happened here oga.

^^^
No I am not being partisan. The matter has everything to do with the APC.

Buhari signed an executive order granting LG fiscal autonomy in May 2020. Two years later, the bills (after being passed by the NASS) are still awaiting concurrence by state legislatures. And APC is the party in power at the federal level and the majority of states. And the bill has still not been passed - with just a few months before the sun finally sets on the Buhari administration.

If the APC cannot get this right, what use are they? If it was some irrelevant bill (and they are many!) you can be sure of speedy concurrence but now there is a bill for the good of all Nigerians, it has been bogged down by what you call "personal interests of state governments". And the Buhari led FG cannot apply the suasion required to get states concurrence on this matter. I ask again, what use is the Buhari led FG?

Ttalk:

Apples and oranges.

I'm not sure of the relationship between between a federally controlled APC's failure to pass pro-people legislation AND what you call the lack of SE support for Rivers and Lagos state agitation for control of VAT. From what I remember, governors across Nigeria (and not just the SE) didn't support Lagos and Rivers - because they obviously don't want the gravy train to end. But that's a very different matter from the FG's failure to get an LG fiscal autonomy bill passed successfully. They are two different things.


But...you haven't answered all my questions...

So Buhari should force the states to sign the bill? I thought we the people said we want restructuring? So why are we not protesting in our various states for the LG Bill to be signed? That's our duty first before APC and Buhari.

GeneralDae:

^^^
Not at all.

This is where suasion comes in.

I can assure you that if it were a partisan electioneering issue important to Buhari's FG or the APC - and the concurrence of the states was needed, Buhari would get it. We would simply see the final results - they would do their horse trading behind the scenes and the job would get done. Unfortunately, the same level of commitment is lacking here on this much more important issue.

GeneralDae:

Fair point. I agree that Nigerians are failing in this regard.

Like our rubber stamp senate... Buhari borrowed and used money from cbn that was not budgeted running into trillions of naira but instead of the senate to impeach buhari, they are asking him to shalaye. The executive Sha is very powerful and this senate is not making laws to curb this leakage of going to cbn to collect money not budgeted.
This country waste level is amazing.

Secound biggest mistake of buhari is closing the border. This skyrocketed price of rice and major goods from 10k per bag to 23K. it was not well calculated because the idiot knows the border security are corrupt and up north, there is nothing like border checking . So why close the border?

In economy, he had no idea of how economy works. He doesn't know how to fill best hand to manage the economy. Example finance minister is a disaster.

Yes the border closure was a very big mistake.
Not with a country that's still very dependent on other country for food.
The level of corruption in Nigeria is untold.
It will take a miracle to redeem this country

You did your best for the country and you will be remembered for your patriotic contributions for infrastructure, free and fair elections, local rice production and retooling the armed forces. You are the best president in these regards. We hope those coming behind you will build upon your legacy. Security, poverty and unemployment are big issues that your predecessors must tackle. Thank you my president
