He said nothing and made no sense at all. Just drooling in sentiments.

Is he now claiming to be more popular than Chris Okotie?

I wish the younger Yorubas will listen to what this their elders are saying
But you will see them here abusing them.
After they will tell us that they respect their elders more than other tribes.

OboloMAN:
The National Association of Nigerian Students
(NANS) has lambasted President Muhammadu
Buhari on his achievements within his 100 days in
charge of affairs of the country.

The students’ body said the President had failed
to give a clue on whether he would turn things
around for better for the masses within his
constitutional four years in office.


NANS spoke through a statement issued by its
Vice President on National Affairs, Comrade
Timileyin Gbenga Ayenuro and tagged “Let the
change be realistic, not a mantra”.

Besides, it lamented the President’s failure to
fulfill his 100 days promises made to Nigerians,
particularly the youths, during the campaign.

However, Buhari through his media aides and the
All Progressives Congress (APC) National
Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed has denied
making promises to do a particular thing within
his 100 days in office during the campaign period.
But, the students union insisted that the President
has no reason to deny or refuse to fulfill promises
he made to Nigerians during the campaign period.
The statement reads, “During Muhammadu
Buhari’s Presidential campaign, it should be
recalled that a public letter was published by the
President titled, “My Covenant”.


“He made no fewer than thirteen promises to
Nigerian in the document which are: Reduction of
fuel price to N45 per liter; Subsidize oil price at
$100 a barrel; pay the poorest 25 million people
N5, 000 every month; guarantee 40,000
megawatts of electricity in four years; Post NYSC
Stipends; provision of Free meal ticket per day for
all Nigerian school children and also provision of
three million jobs in his first year in office.


“To the utmost surprise of every Nigerian student,
President Muhammadu Buhari, has not only failed
to deliver on his numerous ‘100-day in Office
promises’, the President and his media machinery
are intentionally and falsely, in the bid to cover
the ineptitude of failing the ‘100-day integrity
test’ in the court of public opinion, denying these
lofty promises made during the electioneering
campaign.


“Also, he promised to build four refineries in one
year; provide free education to all Nigerian
children, conquer Boko Haram in two months,
payment of allowance to Graduate job seekers,
Tackling Child Labour, Graduate Employment,
Nationwide Environmental Sanitation Plan, No
foreign Health Care for Government officials, 20%
Education Budget, Just Farm, Government Buys
Policy, Educating the Girl Child, An Independent
EFCC and ICPC, Establishment of Office of Public
Defender, Protecting Freedom of Speech, More
Government spending on Health, Improving
National Security, Prompt and stress free pension
payment, Addressing Ethno Religious Tolerance, A
fair deal with women and Corruption Free
Election.


“With the aforementioned lofty promises,
Nigerians thought the change they expected had
come. But amazingly, after 100 days in office,
Buhari whom they described as ‘Baba Go Slow’
because of his sluggishness in executing
government policies, has not achieved any of the
promises.


“Muhammadu Buhari should learn that Nigerians
mean business and are ready to see
developments around the nooks and crannies of
the country. Nigerians believe that terrorism will
be a thing of the past, corruption will be a
forgone issue. Nigerians believe that the new
president should find a lasting solution to the
backlog of unpaid salaries, perennial fuel scarcity,
fuel subsidy regime, cost of governance,
institutionalized corruption, insecurity, erratic
power supply, poorly-developed education and all
other human endeavors. The clock is ticking!


“Also, it is disheartening and perhaps, indicative
of the direction the administration of President
Buhari is heading with respect to the lopsided
appointments made so far. He is just being driven
by the passion to salvage a ‘perceived’ sinking
state, irrespective of who is negatively affected.
He needs to know that we have a federation that
should be run through established laws. All the
federating units must be part of the government
to avoid unnecessary litigation against
constitutional violations.

There are still many more appointments to be made and Nigerians are watching to see what will happen.”

HungerBAD:
President Jonathan.

The problem was not Dr Akinwumi Adesina, Ms. Arunma Oteh or your Economic team. The problem was you, and your constant interference with the working of the Government by looting. The recommendations the professionals in your Economic team, gave to you got lost in the memo that passed through Patience Jonathan's office before it got to you.

FreeGlobe:
Anybody that voted Buhari must be realizing they have been swindled. Buhari loves power and will do anything to get it, even if it means disguising himself. How someone who owns a house worth 2 billion naira, with a wife who wears a 10 million naira watch could deceive millions of Nigerians he is poor is beyond me. smh

This life is very funny oooo.

Suffer with your woman. Go through a lot with her. Have kids with her. Go through thick and thin with her. Then God suddenly bless u with wealth. You begin to think of the most beautiful women in the world.

Life Oh life.

I really pity Oshiomhole's children from his late first wife because this woman will shortchange them so badly eehh. The way oshiomole is going about this woman, I am sure he has signed everything he has on her name leaving his children to their fate.

"And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery" (Matthew 19:9). These are JESUS' own words.

Sadly this unstable generation will do everything to justify ill actions. Marriage partner is a choice that bears consequences. Men must learn to live with the outcomes of their choices.

WombRaiders:
This same Zakari Biu was dismissed during Obasanjo's tenure for his role in Abacha's killer death squad only for him to find himself reinstated back onto the force during Yaradua's administration.

It was during Jonathan's acting presidency that he was dismissed again for his role in assisting the escape of boko suspects in custody.

Today the man has found his way back into the force.

What we should ask Zakiru Biu is why he keeps coming back to the force after several dismissals?

This man has an agenda to fulfill with the full backing of very powerful individuals in the north.

One of the main reasons you should never be too close to your religious leaders especially if you're a woman.

Women are known to be very gullible so these religious heads prey on them.

One of the major reasons you won't catch me near a religious woman. they're weak, shallow and unstable.

SenseiX:
Why the announcement? Ade Ipaye has been functioning as Osinbajo's COS since May 29 same as Laolu Akande who has been releasing statements for the VP's office since June.
I guess the criticism so got to Bubu he had to name Osinbajo's personal aides to appear less of the bigot he is.

Just as APC is at the verge of falling apart over Buhari's high-handed leadership relegating the party to the background on whose platform he came to power.

[b]Spin doctors, the ones renowned for their skills in advancing government propaganda know the wisdom of subtlety and skilful persuasion instead of unhandily and shiftily passing off barefaced lies as truth. Proselytising – even for a government with mounds of goodwill like that of President Muhammadu Buhari – requires some expertise that the administration needs to urgently learn.

[/b]The newspeak by the Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to Buhari, Garba Shehu, heralding 100 days of the administration is beyond woeful. It is full of contradictions, needless self-salutations and puerile lies. Coming from a government that is 97 days old today, one wonders what dramatic flourish they will not envision for their 365 and 1461 days.

Shehu’s piece gives the impression that his boss does not have a blueprint of what to do with victory and they are currently winging out governance. After spending years rhapsodising what they – the opposition – will do differently if they snatch power from the Peoples Democratic Party, they are fast becoming what they criticised. Their unending obsession with the PDP, the unrestrained and now boring commentary on PDP’s faults, and the constant appeal for patience now seems like a riveting distraction; to keep the public busy so they will not have to own up for their current lack of ideas and ideological offerings.




The SSA can disown ‘One hundred things Buhari will do in 100 days’ and ‘My covenant with Nigerians’ but he cannot deny that the contents of those documents were extrapolated from APC’s manifesto put out during electioneering. The wordings might not be exactly the same but the scale of promises was just as ambitious, declarative and far reaching. If we distance Buhari from his campaign promises, he at least cannot deny the promises stated in thisisbuhari.com, a document circulated in December 2014.

As the ‘ghostwriter’ of ‘My covenant with Nigerians’ noted, the document is an abridged version of the party manifesto. If ‘My covenant with Nigerians’ was not Buhari’s thoughts as is being intoned presently, why were there no debunks before now? Why wait until your 100 days report card is due? Whether Buhari’s media team authorised the documents or not matters less as to whether they are on track of fulfilling the promises they made. Shehu says he can bet his last kobo that Buhari neither saw nor authorised these documents. Sophistry has a new name and it is resident in Aso Rock.

The question is, the one he saw and authorised – the party manifesto – how far has he laid the groundwork for its realisation? How far has Buhari gone with the promise to, for instance, “initiate action to amend the Nigerian constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties, and responsibilities to states in order to entrench true federalism and the federal spirit” as stated? He does not seem to be talking of restructuring the nation to make administration less unwieldy anymore, what happened? What of the promises he made in the sectors of education, infrastructure, security, economy and yes, foreign policy? How is he driving the reforms he stated in his manifesto? By his body language or through a clear and defined vision? Does Shehu realise that after the 100 days assessment, we would soon be assessing Buhari’s one year in office? His promises remain the yardstick by which we shall measure his effectiveness.

Furthermore, Shehu should stop insulting us by telling us ‘Buhari has given the job his best shot and the whole country is saying that we never had it so good.’ Such hyberbolic statements are disrespectful to both Nigerians who voted Buhari and those who voted against him for good reasons. Where was the poll carried out where Nigerians spoke in unison and agreed that their lives are perfect now since Buhari became President? If what has been seen so far is Buhari’s best, then Nigeria is in for a long and difficult ride. And no, Buhari’s endorsement by both the US President, Barack Obama, and UN President, Ban Ki-Moon, count for nothing. Those men are politicians who say what they are supposed to say even when it is either irrelevant or banal. Obama once praised former President Goodluck Jonathan such that the man questioned – in his infamous spiel, “I am not a General, Goliath, Pharaoh or a King” why Nigerians refused to see any good in him despite those high profile commendations.

Buhari was sold to us as the man with a magic wand capable of solving Nigeria’s recurrent corruption problems. By the time I got to the part of the document that states, ‘President Buhari is being praised at home and abroad for his ongoing fight against corruption….’ I had to wonder what the ‘‘ongoing fight against corruption’’ was all about and where it was taking place. What we have had so far is propaganda and lots of noise about who and who stole what.

There is practically no ruler in Nigeria – military or democratic – that has not paid the obligatory lip service to fighting corruption. The collapse of the First Republic via the coup in 1966 happened partly because some soldiers were disgusted by the depth of the corruption in government.

There is no point asking Shehu how the documents being denied presently came into existence; we were alive when the Third Term Agenda was blamed on the printer’s devil. What Shehu owes us now is to explain what Mr. President plans to do to tackle corruption beyond the simplistic and unrealistic mantra borrowed from Narendra Modi, ‘I won’t steal and I’ll not allow others to do it!’

How does the President monitor and prevent people from stealing in a country as large and as complicated as Nigeria? If an anti-corruption agenda can work simply by whom the President permits to steal, a President like Olusegun Obasanjo would have solved the problem long ago! That was one man who hounded those who stole without permission.

Shehu, in that same press release says that ‘Buhari will turn out to be a leader in the tradition of Lee Kuan-Yu and India’s current reform-minded Prime Minister Modi… He may however differ with (sic) them by not micro-managing things.’ A President whose anti-corruption plans is about who is allowed to steal is already a micro-manager.

Shehu cannot convince us this government is serious about fighting corruption until we see their action plan. How do they plan to take the anti-corruption agenda to wards and local government levels? Is their strategy bottom-up or top-down approach?

My advice to Shehu is to take a deep breath and stop talking for a while so they can put their house in order. This administration has talked so much like a tape on repeat. The energy deployed on talking could be useful for other ventures. Nigeria is not a stranger to empty rhetoric. This government talks too much for people who are supposed to be rebuilding a vandalised country. That emphasis on talks without requisite action makes them look unserious. The APC should spend some time poring over their manifesto and reminding themselves of their promises to Nigerians. That, hopefully, might put a spring in their steps.
