Politics › Anxiety In APC : Buhari, Npdp Leaders Negotiate Over 10 States’ Votes by engineerboat(op):
Anxiety in APC : Buhari, nPDP leaders negotiate over 10 states’ votes



This report attempts to explain to the generality of Nigerians, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Muhammadu Buhari why the APC should tame the monster of opposition within its ranks if only to avoid the folly of the Goodluck Jonathan administration in allowing a section of its party leadership to exit. Whereas Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is handling the talks with leaders of the New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, bloc within the APC, the need for strategic engagement dictates that Buhari should not make the mistakes of Goodluck Jonathan by being aloof.

The Kawu Baraje led New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, tendency in the All Progressives Congress, APC, resumes its talks with the Presidency tomorrow with little optimism on a breakthrough.

Like Jonathan, Like Buhari?

Worse still, there are concerns that President Muhammadu Buhari is not the one taking charge of the discussions, something similar to the events leading to the crack in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, during the tenure of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. In fact, the inability or refusal of Jonathan to move swiftly against the opposition within has been serially mentioned as one of the many reasons he lost the 2015 presidential election. At the PDP National Convention of late 2014, some leaders of the party, made up of serving national officers and serving state governors and leaders of the National Assembly, walked out of the Eagle Square Convention Ground, even while Jonathan was seated. From the Eagle Square, the leaders moved to the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, where they announced their formal exit from the PDP. And while moves were made to mend the cracks, the seeming aloofness of then President hastened the exodus of leaders from the party. Now, in 2018, the same drama appears to be playing out all over again, with Buhari, appearing disinterested.


A Hung Negotiation?

The decision to forge ahead with the talks despite the scepticism on the part of many of the stakeholders, Sunday Vanguard learnt, is coming from the determination of Senate President Bukola Saraki to press for the option of dialogue despite the seeming move by extremists on both sides to sabotage the talks. One of those sabotage acts was the publication of a report that presented the nPDP as having demanded a stop of the ongoing trial of Saraki on the allegation of false assets declaration as one of the conditions of the aggrieved party members.

That claim was viciously denied by the Senate President and also by Senator Lawali Shuaibu, the Deputy National Chairman of the APC, who is representing the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in the talks. Inside sources within the ranks of the nPDP said morale for the talks was especially low as many of the members of the bloc believe that nothing concrete would come out of the discussion especially as Buhari, who is the party leader, is not directly involved.

The President has delegated Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to represent the Presidency. The nPDP bloc had, on May 9, delivered a letter to the National Chairman of the party, Odigie-Oyegun, in which it alleged, among others, the marginalisation of their tendency in the APC, noting, among other things, that, besides being denied appointments, the two prime positions of Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives they won for themselves became a cross. They also alleged that the marginalisation of the group was despite the decisive role the bloc played in ensuring victory for the party and its presidential candidate in the 2015 elections.

The Presidency, after some dithering procrastination, heeded and conveyed a meeting where Osinbajo led the Presidency team that also included the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami; Shuaibu; National Security Adviser, NSA, Babagana Monguno; and the Deputy Chief of Staff, Ade Ipaye. The nPDP delegation had, among others, Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Governors Aminu Tambuwal and Abdulfatah Ahmed, Senators Rabiu Kwankwanso and Danjuma Goje.

Following the initial meeting, it was resolved that the two teams would meet again one week after, that is, tomorrow during which substantive issues would be further brought to the table. Among the conditions for peace, it was gathered, was for the President to fully address the issues raised in the nPDP letter. The group, it was also learnt, is also determined to fashion out a sharing policy with Buhari on positions that the group should occupy should the party win the forthcoming presidential election.


The Calculations Whereas the President is famously said to have (and indeed he did) defeated Jonathan with about two million votes in the 2015 election, it would be in the political interest of the incumbent to have a more than passing interest in the on-going-negotiations. Pointers to this can be located in the quality and calibre of those in talks with the Vice President. For instance, 10 states were represented at the meeting.

The states are Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara and Sokoto. From those states, some of the leaders at the talks were Murtala Nayako and Senator Nyako; Speaker Yakubu Dogara and a sizeable number of members of the House of Representatives; Barnabas Gemade, former National Chairman of the PDP and Minister of Housing; Senator Danjuma Goje, former Gombe State governor; Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi; Kwakwanso, a two-time governor of Kano State; a former Kebbi State governor, Adamu Aliero; Senator Dino Melaye; Saraki, who had also served as governor of Kwara State, along with the incumbent, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, as well as legislators from the state; and Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and some political leaders from the state. In fact, the political leaders made it known to Osinbajo that many more political leaders would have attended the parley but opted not to show their faces because of the fear of intimidation for which the Buhari administration was already known.

One of the leaders said “many leaders would have been here but they are afraid that sudden arrest could be their portion”. Those raising concerns now see in these individuals the potentials of mobilising more than the two-million-vote deficit.

Each of the individuals leading the teams from the states can, with the plethora of sub-leaders, mobilise more than 200,000 votes, without prejudice to those who would be joining the voting eligibility net on the grounds of age and collection of PVC. Worse, still their agitation for more inclusiveness in the scheme of things is coming at a time of manifest, clear and present hardship in the land, a situation which, in the view of some, has blighted the popularity of Buhari.

Also, the cracks in the APC, today, was not there in 2015 when Buhari defeated Jonathan. Conversely, whereas only Tambuwal was initially officially the opposition within the PDP, the coalescing of other bigwigs in late 2014 dealt of heavy blow to the PDP, today, the hydra-headed discontent in the APC further creates a compelling reason why the President must act fast.

The Challenge

Unfortunately, the hardliners in the APC who continue to threaten fire and brimstone and who, therefore, insist that nothing can happen, are no more than clones of the sort of their breed in the Jonathan-era PDP, who stiff-neckedly maintained that then President should not lose sleep because of the exit of some politicians.

Just as there were cogent and verifiable pointers to the challenges confronting the PDP at that time, pointers that could have been dealt with employing clear-headed strategies (but refused), today’s challenges confronting the APC are humongous. Take, for instance, the South-West geo-political zone.

That is the stronghold of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But for Tinubu’s decision to swim with Buhari, the perennial inability of the President to secure the needed constitutionally demanded majority of votes, spread across at least 25% of votes in at least two thirds of the 36 states of the federation, may have been impossible. That is a zone whose Yoruba stock continue to see, in the seeming lack of inclusiveness of the Tinubu camp, as a negation of an agreement to work together once power is captured. The discontentment in the zone is palpable, just as there are much more opposing voices today than there were in 2015. The zone is not as secure as it was in 2015.

Interestingly, the plethora of parallel congresses in some states in the zone makes for a compelling reason why Buhari must act.

The South-East, apart from the episodic and strange loyalty of the Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi, the fanatical but now confused commitment of Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, and the born-again effusion of praise for the Buhari administration by Orji Uzor Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, the zone has maintained a studied opposition to the Buhari government.

Even as of Friday, the South-East leaders of the party were still grappling with the opposition to its decision to return national officers from the zone in the working committee of theAPC unopposed. In the South-South region, the most populous state, Rivers, is governed by a decidedly militant state governor who has been put through the furnace of steadfastness in his PDP origins, because of the quantum of attacks he has endured from the Federal Government – his predecessor also went through a similar experience in his last days in office.

Even based on recent developments and the continued political atomisation of goodwill in Rivers, the APC’s loss, is PDP’s gain.

Just last week, Akwa Ibom State government posted the picture of a massive turnout of supporters for the Democracy Day celebrations in Uyo, the state capital, signposting the level of support the PDP administration in the state enjoys.

Delta and Cross River States are PDP states and do not appear to be about to change status. In the Middle Belt (North-Central Zone), the killing fields of Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau States would make a campaign for Buhari a bit difficult and, therefore, requires that the incumbent should pull all the stops to resolve whatever problems that are dogging his party. Apart from Kwara and Niger States, Kogi’s bouts of quarrel between some leaders and Governor Yahaya Bello are part of the mix. In the North-West Zone, the crises in Kaduna and Kano Sates, the growing discontent in his state of Katsina, as well as the positioning of the Sokoto State governor, Tambuwal for president in 2019, all make for a compelling reason why the President should disembark from his flight of indifference and ensure that the APC does not go the way of the PDP under Jonathan.

Even in the insurgency-infested North-East zone, Adamawa, Gombe and Bauchi remain fronts of contention. All these make for an urgent and necessary ingredient for Buhari to take charge of the dialogue with those who say they are displeased with the status quo today.

Their Demands

“We have as a minimum that our group should hold the office of Senate President and Speaker; after all, the old CPC has the President, old ACN has the Vice-President and what do we have?” an APC stalwart said. Members of the bloc, it was gathered, are, however, very sceptical of the capacity of the party winning the presidency in 2019 on a free ballot and, as such, seem determined to pull out as soon as possible.

“Do you think with their record in government that they can win?”, the source asked rhetorically, as he inferred that remaining in the APC may even do more damage to the politicians given what he alleged as the disappearance of the goodwill that ushered the party to power in 2015. A stakeholder, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, was, however, dismissive of the talk linking the group to the PDP, saying the brand had been severely damaged beyond redemption.

Expressing scepticism over tomorrow’s meeting, the stakeholder said: “What is playing out in the APC is exactly what played out in the CPC – Congress for Progressives Change. The President allowed the crisis there to fester and did not manage it and that is what we see happening here. “Imagine if the President had intervened when the problems between (Governor Abdullahi) Ganduje and (Senator Rabiu) Kwankwanso broke out, we would not have been here.

“That is the pattern we see and we do not see the talks bearing any fruit, so it is just a waiting game as we know that we are definitely going, but to where I do not know.”

The stakeholder reiterated that the Senate President was the one holding back restive members of the group. “You know this was how Saraki tried to convince President Goodluck (Jonathan) before pulling out of the PDP, so it is that waiting game that we are in now”, the source added.

Fayose raises alarm over alleged plot by Fayemi to implicate him, PDP leaders with murder

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has raised the alarm over alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi to implicate him and some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with murder.

The governor alleged that a meeting was held in Isan-Ekiti, the hometown of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the flag bearer of the APC in the July 14, 2018 governorship election where a certain thug popularly known as Agbara was assigned with the task of carrying out the sinister plot of killing people and dumping their corpses in houses belonging to PDP chieftains as well as Fajuyi Park.

It should be recalled that at the APC secretariat on Friday, a chieftain of the APC, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele and five others were hit by shots by a policeman brought from Lagos to protect one of the APC chieftains.

The governor said; “This alarm has become necessary because of a meeting that was held yesterday, in Isan-Ekiti, the hometown of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the flag bearer of the APC in the July 14, 2018 governorship election.

“They have hired one Agbara to kill one or two indigenes of Ekiti and dump their bodies in the houses of PDP leaders, Fajuyi Park, in Ado Ekiti or near the government house. This is an attempt to link me and my party with killings.

“This new plot is as a result of the failure of the plot to link me with the shooting of Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB) and others by a policeman at the APC secretariat on Friday.

“We take exception to this sinister plot as we will not be a party to violence act. Ekiti has been peaceful in the last three and half years, we want to keep enjoying this peace and will not want it disrupted because of politics. Our ambition is not worthy of the blood of any Ekiti indigene.

“We therefore call on the police and other security agencies to be vigilant and Ekiti people to please be watchful. Your life and my life will not be used as sacrifice for this election.

“I want to plead with everyone to please take note that violence is not an option. I also urge the federal government to take necessary steps to save Ekiti from further crisis.”

PDP: MR. DEJI OGUNSAKIN (39 Years) remember Eleka is 50 years
APC: Chief Bisi Egbeyemu (74 Years) remember Fayemi is 59 Years.


When Mr Deji Ogunsakin, the Ekiti PDP deputy gov candidate was born in 1979, meaning he is 39 years old.

Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, the Dep Gov candidate of APC in Ekiti was the youth leader of UPN that same years, 1979 that was 39 years ago.


The APC deputy gov candidate is now 74 years old...

While PDP deputy gov candidate is 39 years old.


AGAIN

Mr. Deji Ogunsakin (39), PDP Deputy Governorship Candidate, was Ado LG Chairman in 2017 (less than one year ago).

While Chief Bisi Egbeyemi (74) the APC Deputy Governorship candidate, was Ado LG chairman in 1993 (25 years ago).

Politics › No One Should Accuse Me Of Non-performance, Niger State Governor by engineerboat(op): 8:10am On May 31, 2018
No one should accuse me of non-performance, I didn’t Make any Promises during Electioneering in 2015 ~Niger Governor

The Niger State Governor Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello, has said emphatically that he did not make any promise to the people of the state during the governorship campaigns in 2015.

The governor also said that he has decided to seek re-election next year following the clamour by various groups in the state for him to do so.

Bello made the remarks on Tuesday evening while meeting top media executives in the state for the first time since he became governor of the state in 2015.

He said: “I did not make any promise while campaigning in 2015. One thing we did during our campaign was that we made sure we did not make promise to the people.
“If we had promised heaven and earth, we would have faced problems from the public because there were a lot of problems.”

He said that he did not make any promise because “there was high expectation from the people. We realise the high expectation so we did not make promise.”
The governor said the administration was bugged down by poor revenue at inception to the extent that the income from the federation account at inception dropped to as low as N2 billion monthly, “with this we could not do anything, we thank God we did not make any promise, we would have not been able to fulfill any promise”.

He disclosed that he would seek re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) next year following the requests for him to seek a second term by people of goodwill from across the length and breadth of the state.

“We will go for re-election, it is good to have second term, by God’s grace we will win,” he declared.

Giving reasons why he wants to seek re-election, Bello said: “A lot of things which we planted cannot mature in four years, we need more time to make them to come to fruition.

“We will appeal to Nigerlites to re-elect us so that we can complete what we have started because I don’t feel accomplished.”

Bello also said he decided to join other governors in the APC to ask President Muhamnadu Buhari to run for a second term because “he ( Buhari) is laying a solid foundation for Nigeria”.

“We should support and encourage Mr President, he means well for this country.

“Buhari is on a different level. People don’t understand him, he means well for Nigeria. He is so passionate about Nigeria that he forgets himself, I am 100% with him,” the governor declared.

Exclusive: Fayemi buys N1.2bn mansion in Lagos, rakes in N2bn from primary election

The immediate past Minister of Solid Minerals Development and the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate in the coming Ekiti State Governorship election has bought a property at the GRA, Ikeja, Lagos. The property according to sources is worth N1.2 billion.

The property is located at Tayo Ayeni Street, and bounded by Oduduwa Crescent and Ladipo Bateye Street.

Fayemi bought the mansion from Mr. Tayo Ayeni, the Chairman of Skymit Motors.

Negotiation for the property started before the APC primary election which turned rowdy at Ado-Ekiti. The primary was later rescheduled and Fayemi won.

Our sources revealed that he concluded the deal and moved into the property the very week he won the primary election.

The Minister was seen driving into the palatial house at exactly 5.56pm on Friday, May 18, 2018 with his security aides. He wore a black kaftan with his trademark cap.

This building is about 500 yards from the Ekiti Liaison Office on Oduduwa Crescent, which has turned into an abandoned property for more than five years. During his tenure as Ekiti governor, Fayemi secured a N25 billion bond which his government stated was for the development of infrastructure in Ekiti. N2.5 billion out of the bond was earmarked for the building of the Liaison Office.

Despite the fact that the Ekiti building was not completed, Fayemi, immediately after leaving office as governor, bought a property on the same Oduduwa crescent which he used as both office and home, before acquiring the new house.

No 58, Oduduwa Crescent is on the upper part of the street. It contains a twin duplex. While one serves as office for both Fayemi and his wife, the other serves as residence. He still had a meeting with a team of selected journalists and editors at the office last Friday evening.

Sources revealed that Fayemi bought his new property from funds he received from friends of President Muhammadu Buhari to aid his governorship campaign. Two leading Nigerian businessmen of northern extraction were said to have given him substantial amount of money to prosecute the election campaign. One gave him N2 billion, while the other dolled out $5 million.

One of the sources, a prominent aide of the APC candidate said he is comfortable buying the property since he had been assured of more funds as the election approaches.

A budget of N25 billion was reportedly presented to President Buhari by Fayemi to prosecute the July 14 election.

Ekiti State Probe Panel Indicts Former Governor Fayemi Over Multi-Billion Naira Contract Scandals

The Judicial Commission of Inquiry set up by Ekiti State Government to look into the financial transactions of the state under the administration of Kayode Fayemi has said that the former governor must account for the whereabouts of N2.75 billion allocated from the N25 billion bond obtained by the government for the execution of contract for the construction of Ultra-Modern market in Ado Ekiti, which was never executed.

The commission of inquiry also said that the contractor in respect of the furnishing of the government house built by the Fayemi administration should be made to refund N324.8 million, noting that the contract should not have been more than N280 million.

The panel said it found out that KITWOOD Nigeria Limited to which the furnishing contract of over N600 million was awarded had no traceable address and that “the address on the Letter of Award is a virgin land at opposite the new Central Bank along new Iyin Road, Ado Ekiti.

These and several other revelations were made known today, when the commission of inquiry submitted its report to the State Governor, Ayodele Fayose. The panel was headed by a retired judge, Silas Oyewole.

On the purchase of vehicles, the panel said “claim by Coscharis Motors that it supplied 235 and/or 250 vehicles was fraudulent and fraught with so many contradictions.

“That Coscharis Motors supplied some vehicles outside Ekiti State especially, at Ibadan Liaison office when Ekiti State Government does not have a Liaison office in Ibadan. In respect of this, seven vehicles were supplied outside the State and signed for by unknown persons.

“That Coscharis Motors only supplied 219 vehicles to the Ekiti State government and that 17 Joylong Buses were supplied to the Ekiti State Government as gift but later carted away.”

On the controversial N852.9 million State Universal Education Board (SUBEB) fund, the commission said it was clear that the government of Mr. Fayemi hoodwinked the federal government into paying its own matching grant by obtaining N852, 936,783.12 loan from Access Bank on November 25, 2013 without perfecting documentation in respect of the loan, thereby flouting the provisions of Section 11(2) of the UBEC Act, 2004.

While receiving the report, Governor Fayose said asking people to account for their stewardship should not be termed witch hunting, as leaders must be accountable and that Ekiti people have the inalienable right to know how their commonwealth was being used.

"I appreciate the panel members for a thorough job done. The time and energy they put into the job. The panel waited for the outcome of the court case instituted by former Governor Kayode Fayemi before it concluded its job because we are ardent believers in the rule of law and if the court had ruled that we should stop, we would have stopped.

“There is no witch hunting in a situation whereby people are asked to account for their stewardship. Am glad that the federal government is also pursuing the policy of accountability and we are following suit here too,” he said.

Governor Fayose subsequently inaugurated a four-member administrative panel to study the report and come out with a White Paper. The administrative panel is headed by the Commissioner for Justice, Kolapo Kolade.

Earlier, Mr. Oyewole said though the panel was given three months to do its work when inaugurated in May this year, it had to bid its time to see the end of the litigation by Fayemi.

In another development, Mr. Fayose has set up a four-member panel to look into agitation by some communities for autonomy and other sundry issues.

It has Mr. Oyewole as the chairman and tagged Justice Oyewole Chieftaincy Commission of Enquiry 2018. The governor said that the panel had six months to complete its work and could also look into other issues relating to its terms of reference.

In his remarks, Mr. Oyewole said he would never be tired of serving the state in any capacity he is asked to.

Other members of the commission are Ojo Ayenimo, Alex Adekunle and Gbenga Adaramola.

The counsel to the probe commission, Sunday Bamise, told the panel today, that all the witnesses called by the panel appeared; except Mr. Fayemi, who is the current Minister for Steel and Minerals Resources Development; his commissioner for finance while he was governor, Dapo Kolawole; and CASA Consult Limited.

Mr. Bamise said having heard from the witnesses that appeared before the panel, he urged the commission to close the public hearing so as to take a step in writing and submitting its report to the state governor, Ayodele Fayose, who set up the commission.

The chairman of the commission, Mr. Oyewole, obliged and declared proceedings at the commission of inquiry closed.

It should be recalled that last week Thursday, a High Court in Ado Ekiti affirmed the legality of the judicial commission of inquiry, saying the Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose had powers to run affairs of his state and that he had exclusive rights to set up commission of inquiry without the prompting of the House of Assembly and that he properly so acted.

Justice Lekan Ogunmoye, who delivered the judgment in the suit filed by Mr. Fayemi against the commission of inquiry, said Mr. Fayose acted pursuant to Section 2 (1) of the Commission Inquiry Law Cap C10 Laws of Ekiti State. He dismissed all other reliefs seeking to set aside and perpetually restrain the Commission.

Mr. Fayemi was yet to react to the final report of the panel as at the time of this report. But he refused to appear before the panel saying he could not get fair hearing and the panel was illegally constituted.

Politics › Buhari Achievements; 3 Years After, Facts And Figure by engineerboat(op): 2:47pm On May 29, 2018
Earlier today we are bombarded with numeorus achievement of APC Federal Govt. 3 Years achievement, which i termed #APCWasted3Years.

Find below the facts and Figure (Credit to @FarahAideed)

1. Foreign reserved increased from 29.3 billion to over 47 billion

Facts:
There is no proof whatsoever that our Foreign reserves have grown to 47 billion dollars When Buhari has not told us where the excess savings came from and if the country was making so much then why has Buhari been attributing his failure to lack of funds? Open your eyes Buhari lies a lot


2. Over 200,000 youth are benefiting from #30,000 monthly NPOWER.

Fact:
This is another unproven statististic and ofcourse another shameless lie from the lying govt , is the govt saying it is paying average of 6000 people in each state of Nigeria the total sum of 6 billion Naira monthly ? The least the govt can do is allow the 6 billion Naira reflect in the statutory monthly expenditure charge sheet and it's never reflected at all ..another thing is for the govt to make available a list of names of beneficiaries state by state for verifications

3. Power supply as improved from 2000 megawatts to 7000 megawatts.

`Fact:
When Jonathan left Nigeria had a wheel out capacity of 4500 Mws and an installed capacity of 7000 Mws of electricity and this is a fact ..Buhari is claiming to have added 5000 mws to grid in 3 years so can Buhari show us what new power plants he initiated that is responsible for this extra 5000 Mws ( it's as simple as that ).. another lie bursted!!

`4. Second Niger bridge construction is going on.

It's is on record that the contract has not even been awarded at all at any level so this is a lie .. how can a contract that has not been awarded be ongoing ..please let's stop being dull

5. Local rice production, packaging like imported rice is now in the market.

Fact:
One visit to the market will debunk all these paper based local rice , why can't we find such rice in the market, where are the rice paddies producing these rice located ? Why has our rice import bill not dropped to reflect the truth.. another lie from hell

6. Money swaps between Nigeria and China to reduce dollar influence and reduce cost of products from China.

Fact:
The money swap deal has not even taken off and when it does it will for the tiny international sum of 900 million dollars over a period of years which comes to just 300 million dollars per year if it ever kicks off ..The deal in every ramification is nothing but beauttiful nonsense that has no implication on our Balance of trade sheet with china.. we have only ended up guaranteeing China a sure 1 billion dollars worth of export steady no matter the outcome of international business.

`7. Over 500billion had been realised from anti corruption fight.

`Fact:
Till the EFCC provided the list of the 630 people it prosecuted successfully and recovered 500 billion Naira from this remains false and till that money reflects in our budget as an income item then it's false ..Where is is the money?

`8.Bokoharam, Niger Delta Avenger, IPOB/BIAFRA agitators has been defeated.

`Facts:
Boko Haram is still know to be in control of over 70 percent of the land mass in Borno state and 80 percent of the highways there ..a visit to Borno by anyone will quickly erode this lie I challenge the OP to make road trip from Damboa to Maidugri with an escort of 20 soldiers and lets see if he will be alive to tell the tale .. IPOB was never a threat as such to any Nigerian , instead of mentioning IPOb I was expecting the president to tell us why he is sparing the Fulani Herdmen who have killed over 4000 Nigerians in just 3 years !!!!


9. Nigeria has comes out of the worst economical recession.

Facts:
who caused the recession in the first place ?Buhari tooknover Nigeria with a single inflation digit but today it's still in double digits courtesy his bad governance, is the negligible micro growth Buhari has peddling even sufficient to call growth at all ..the dull president can keep decieving himself please but the truth is that the recession came with a lot of consequences which included double digit inflation, weaker naira and a loss of about 13 million jobs , are we back to single digit inflation? Is the naira back to strength ? Is are the 13 million jobs back ? Hell no ..the last 3 years have been Nigeria's worst Perfmance on the international Human development index scale and that the fact

10. Masive road construction is ongoing all over Nigeria

Facts`:
this is another big lie when it's on record that for 3 straight fiscal years the Buhari govt has scored zero (yes zero) Performance in the administration of its capital expenditure purse ( even Fashola recently admitted this when he went to defend his budget) ..so ask yourself where is the money for these phantom roads coming from and where are the roads ? please dont let a Dullard like Buhari decieve you.

11. Rail constructing is on going Lagos to Ibadan, Kaduna to Kano etc

Facts:
The only rail construction Buhari has initiated is a questionable one that is supposed to run from Katsina to his ancestral home in Maradi Niger republic , the motive behind the rail is 100 percent nepotistic as there is no economic explanation to why Nigeria needs that rail line so much we had to borrow for it..

12. Sign memorandum of understanding with Boeing and Airbus on revival of National Carriage Airline

Facts:
this comment is an insult to any sensible person...anyone that that know the process of acquiring planes knows this is bullocks .. At what capacity is Boeing and Airbus signing agreement hahahaha? Boeing and Airbus only take orders for brand new planes and deliveries could take years and very few airlines use direct purchases to source their planes form either Boeing or Airbus . Buhari clearly understand nothing about fleeting an airline but the least he do is show us the MOU with these two aviation giants so we know what it's about even though I know it's a big lie.

13. Massive investment in Agriculture as alternative means of Economy.

Facts:
Nigerian farmers have never had a worse time in their lives due to the insecurity they currently face ..its on record that almost 60 percent of middle belt farmers have been displaced from their farm by killer herdsmen Buhari is very sympathetic too ..so tell me where this false investment in agriculture is being made please ..is it in Daura farms ?

14. Anti Corruption war.

Facts:
This seem to be unarguable achievements of BUHARI administration in 3years.

Corruption has never been worse on reality, just one look at transparency international recent report will debunk this one hand as Nigeria ranking is at one of its worst ever today under the Dullard...Lest we forget there is a massive corruption also going on in secretive oil subsidy regime where Buhari has trippled the annual spending on phantom oil subsidies from about 300 billion Naira annually to 1.4 trillion a year without budgetary approval ..damn that would be the biggest corruption scandal when it blow open when Buhari is soon relieved of his duty



This is a serious and dangerous
