Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

Racoon:
The decision to free his nation from French colonial griphold and the puppet ECOWAS was also definitive and precise. These young military turks are proving to the old corrupt geriatrics African leaders that leadership can be military but revolutionary.

How much of what he and his fellow Burkinabes are using daily are not imported from France and other countries because he like Thomas Sankara before him failed to prioritise free basic education and healthcare for appropriate workers in private sector companies

Which worker?
Small businesses need to be alive and paying taxes for workers to be paid. Here we take all our funds and pay workers of corruption directly with half , then let same workers in connivance with public office holders loot the remaining half.

What happened to all the taxes paid already? Do you know? Do you even care to know

Makavelli001:
🙊 During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with a mind of his own.

On one fateful day, Stalin came to a Politburo meeting with a live chicken.

Standing in front of an audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one.

🚩The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely naked. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground.

🚩The naked chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & helpless creature.

🚩The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking toward his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

📍Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership.

🚩He said, "This chicken represents the people".

🚩"You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them".

🚩"If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshipping you".
🚩"They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place."

😇 Breathtaking, isn't it?

🙋‍♂ Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media.
🚩Take a look at those they call their heroes.

🚩They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is.
🚩They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments.

🚩Your guess is as good as mine. And the likes of many others, we all know about.
📍Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! 🙉

Judge hands out prison time in Enron barge scam

Ex-Enron, Merrill execs sentenced. A repentant Boyle gets nearly four years for his involvement in barge scandal

May 13, 2005

Former Enron executive Dan Boyle was sentenced to nearly four years in prison Thursday, while Robert Furst and William Fuhs, both former Merrill Lynch bankers, received more than three years — all for their roles in the Enron Nigerian barge scam.

Boyle, sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison and fined $320,000, was the only one who appeared repentant about pushing through a sham sale of energy-generating barges to the bank so Enron could pump its earnings and bolster its stock price.

"I'm the only one responsible for my actions and omissions and for the pain I caused each and every person I affected," the Clear Lake resident told the judge. "I'm truly sorry."

Which one of your own political idols have not stolen money?

Was Atiku ever in an executive position, or he was Vice President of Obasanjo who failed to act on his own stories of corruption against his Vice

If the Plateau state governor, like the other governors is not a thief, then why is he not having every child in free schools with adequate classrooms, libraries, labs, playgrounds etc with enough professional teachers and other staff to avoid this mess

LifestyleTonite:
Soyinka never held any government position. So it is absurd to expect it to have impact on education other than his books that are available to be studied at schools.

If you are bothered about impact on education, hold your government officials responsible.

Your envious evil mind is clueless about what clout is and the consequences of it on the person who has it.

competition with the local farmers would cause both sides to bring down prices! The greedy local farmers are increasing prices of foodstuffs unnecessarily, even when they're not significantly impacted by forex or fuel cost.
Even gari producers in my village who don't need forex sell at exorbitant prices!

It is like that with many other farmers in the country!

Is this what Chinese people did to become an economic powerhouse

tiger28:
The only thing I like about this government is that they at least respond to the needs of the people, previous governments they never did so.

Where is the food supply improvement and lower prices?

Or what is the response here?

The should just open all the land borders for food importation and declare tax free for food produce been imported into this country...
That's all

Jman06:
There's no need setting up any yeye committee here!

Just open the damn borders and flood the country with food!

Can you please explain how this is going to affect the exchange rate and prices of these imported commodities as well as government revenues plus loans to cover the gap

COMRADES, when did Bwala become the spokesman for Tinubu

Whether Tinubu reshuffles his cabinet or not, he has nothing to offer Nigerians because of his over incompetence

Bwala said that also before he was brought back from PDP wilderness into APC’s green pastures.

Bobloco:
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Daniel Bwala, has suggested that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu may end up like his predecessor.

He noted that this was exactly how Nigerians were told to be patient for eight years while the Buhari administration was busy doing very little or nothing at all.

Bwala said that Tinubu has already spent 31.8 percent of his first term in office and has only succeeded in raising the sufferings of Nigerians during this period.

“When people talk about being patient and waiting, you have to look at the time frame the public officer is expected to execute the work,” Bwala, who was the spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections, said on Channels TV on Monday.

“The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has.

“He has less than 70 percent time in government, when is that going to happen? When President Buhari took over in 2015 it was the same language and we patiently followed and he finished the first term and finished the second term.

“When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant, 30 years it will not work. Most of the economists I’ve listened to have faulted the President’s budget with which he was supposed to deliver the agenda flat-out…

“We want to see deliverables. Nigerians are tired of English, Mathematics, Economics, Science, and Technology. We want to see practical things,” he said.

Habbeyy:
Well, I don't take that Bwala man seriously but Ndume is shameless. He always talks recklessly. Less than a week now, he claimed that Tinubu had been caged and Nigerians has no access to him only for Tinubu to hold meeting with labour's leaders the following day. He's been like that since the time of president Jonathan. Imagine someone who has been in the national assembly since 2003 with nothing to show off in his constituency and senatorial district respectively.

Do you mean that as a federal lawmaker, he has not proposed Bills for addressing the issues of concern to his constituents

Lagyazannau:
Daniel that just join APC 😂😂
Wahala be like stomach way never see food

Was he not in APC before he decamped to PDP complaining about Muslim-Muslim ticket? Maybe he was sent by ThiefNuibu to spy on Atiku’s campaign.

fuckingAyaya:
some miscreants here will still disagree

What is there to agree with a fuckingayaya unserious person?

Instead of committee, why can’t you expect the Chicago graduate with Mobil experience for Lagos master plan to hit the ground running as promised by recruiting 50 million soldiers to grow beans, agbado, cassava and other crops?

Did you expect him to hit the ground running for loans to defend our Naira because he is clueless about managing our economy

LordIsaac:
Both in age and achievement, your entire lineage can but admire his feat forever. I do not mean it insultively. Be careful...envy is evil!

If you are not the evil person who is envious, then why are you failing to point out the lie about Soyinka’s zero impact on basic education in Ogun state and our country that has the highest number of children out of school?

Why is this so difficult for you

LordIsaac:
At least think small before you talk. Haba!

If you thought at all you would have pointed out the lie in what you replied to.

Are you able to think and point out the lie

At least 25 persons who served as ministers, aides or advisers to former President Goodluck Jonathan are being either investigated or prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.

Why is the economy worse, inflation worse, unemployment worse even insecurity worse since 2015 despite increased loans if not the reckless looting of the Abacha PTF associate that JagaBandit made president to earn his Ebilokan turn?

Nigeria has dropped five places on the 2021 corruption perception index published by Transparency International (TI). In the 2021 index released on Tuesday, the country scored 24 out of 100 points — ranking 154 out of 180 countries.

In the 2020 index, Nigeria had scored 25 out of 100 points, ranking 149 out of the 180 countries surveyed.

The development means that Nigeria dropped to 154 — five places down — out of the 180 countries surveyed, in comparison with the 2020 rating.

It also scored 25 out of 100 points — less than the 24 points obtained in the 2020 CPI.

This is the worst ranking the country has got under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

In 2015, Nigeria was ranked 136th; 136th in 2016; 148th in 2017; 144th in 2018; 146th in 2019, and 149th in 2020.

Wole Soyinka said he only assesses every government after one year of be in power Tinubu administration has passed one year we are still waiting for his assessment.

His assessment has been bought by ThiefNuibu’s national theatre honour, just as APC bought him with Amaechi’s multi million 80th birthday 10 years ago.

LordIsaac:
Good…he is a distinguished fellow.

Whose distinguished 90 years have failed to make a meaningful impact on basic education in his state and country that has the highest number of children out of school.

Look around you. So many Ebi m pa wa victims are going through a lot. Help them if you can. Suicide is real these days. Stop making excuses for your lord Tinubu. He is in charge and should be held responsible for the outcome of his policies in government. It won't kill him if you tell him the truth in the face. Other countries hold their leaders accountable.

If you are not dazed by hunger, then point out where and how I made excuses for him.

Nice one. Yoruba has a rich cultural history that spans centuries. So we too can have interesting historical story lines like Spartacus, Vikings,Troys,and Thor. We just need to improve our cinematography, story lines,visual effects, costumes and quality directors, then we good to match Hollywood.

I heard some Yoruba movie producers are building a huge movie village in Oyo state. I saw the set in eniola Ajao's movie. It was awesome. We shall get there

The rich history includes the fact that we captured and sold the most slaves to Arabs and whites, as evidenced by Yoruba culture in Brazil and Cuba.

Lagos, the commercial hub of Nigeria, has been ranking as one of the worst places to live in the world for the nine straight years, a BusinessDay analysis shows.

Data from the 2019 Global Liveability Index published by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the world’s leader in global business intelligence, shows the city has been within the range of 137th-139th position out of a total of 140 cities in the world from year 2011-2019.

The EIU examines the quality of health care, education, infrastructure, stability, and culture when assessing living conditions of each city. More than 30 factors are taken into account when calculating each rank, which are then complied into a weighted score between one and 100.

I hate PDP based post like this.

Go to America and ask how much 1 tuber of yam cost, You people expect APC to fix 16 years of corruption from PDP because they're God?

Truly the youths of this new generation are lazy and USELESS

In America and Chicago do you have houses where they don't have pipe borne water, as is the case in glorified ghetto Lagos after ThiefNuibu's master plan of widening the tax base to reduce purchasing power of the masses for his bullion vans looting?
Is that how it is in Chicago

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low

A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.

Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.

The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.

'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.

"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.

"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.

He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.

''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.

''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.

''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.

The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.

Who is to blame when you all voted Buhari and Tinubu and was about to vote Atiku?

All old men who are outdated from current world trend...

What has current world trend got to do with ThiefNuibu's Ebilokan maladministration that politically naive gbajue Peter Obi helped make POssible?

Are ObiDense as naive as their tingod olodo of Anambra

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

What do you think will happen if your governor fails to comply with the Supreme Court judgement?
Your governor will go to prison

Are you aware that we have been on this road before, a mere four years ago?
Did Buhari's Katsina governor comply? Or the governors of Lagos, Borno and other APC progressive states?
