They only accuse people that leave their sham charade not those corrupt people that stand with them.

So it's when there's a threat to his ambitions he remembers there are no jobs.
Pathetic.

Thank you for all this images.
Suddenly he's now the devil's incarnate.
God save us from APC hypocrites.

And Buhari is still alive i guess?
Your ignorance needs intense critical urgent attention.

Oshigun:
As long as you know you are voting for Musa Logomba the Atiku replacement from Mali. The real Atiku passed last year in Dubai. If you look well you will see Musa today has a six pack whereas Atiku of 2016 had a pot belly.

This is 21st century, all this things can't happen without the legislative and executive approval.
Don't be a joke.

meromero11:
Bros, i support you 100%. The last juicy parastatal left outside Atiku's collection of dubious purchases is NNPC. He once said privately "that all he requires as president is just a day". A day to do what? A day to sign out the sale of NNPC to himself. Then after Nigerians can take back their useless presidency from him. This man needs NNPC more than he needed Nigerians. Who are Nigerians anyway? He has no known biological father nor mother nor sibblings that are Nigerians. He has no commitment to us. To him Nigeria is just an estate for purchase and he will buy it at any cost.

I was actually laughing reading this.
So much jokes

meromero11:
Atiku is smiling and waiting for Nigerians to make the mistake of voting him into ASO Rock. He came from Senegal as a nomad and someone in Yola mistakingly harboured him as a son of the house. He was admitted into Nigerian schools and eventually bagged OND. Nigeria mistakingly allowed him to be enlisted into the Nigerian Customs where he looted and looted even in retirement he was still looting customs. He was mistakingly allowed to contest governorship but an extended mistake made him to become vice president of Nigeria. Then the great buy up of the National institutions under the guise of privatization started. He not only looted the nation, he robbed us completely.
Atiku by nature is corrupt and will steal everything dry. He is just waiting for the nation to make the final and last mistake - Presidency.

This politics of total condemnation of Atiku leads to no where.

Before Trump came into office, the world predicted him to be the worst American president judging from his past records.
But look at America today, with the lowest unemployment rate in the past 2 decades.
His economy growth cannot be over-emphasized. Except for the recent trend of sporadic killings by guns or knives. But still yet, the norm of killing blacks by police in America has deteriorated immensely. And with the current facts and statistics, he's one of America's best president except from his arrogance.

Back to Atiku,
He made several mistakes in the past, and admitted to not being perfect.
He has been unveiling his plans to a better Nigeria, yet not entirely perfect but way better than blind promises.
If Atiku believes an almost total privatization is the solution to Nigeria's economy, to some certain degree i believe he's right.
I visited the national stadium some months back, and I noticed the grasses that had engulfed the entire stadium and I was prompted to inquire why the management had refused to carry out such maintenance. But to my surprise, i was told the company involved had not been paid in almost 2 years.
This is a national asset sitting in the heart and capital of this nation but yet not managed as due.

Hence privatization, might not entirely be the ideal solution but might curb out many issues.
The UK and America economy is about 60% dependent on taxes.
If there were no private mega institutions in this nation, how will it be so dependent on taxes?
Most of the world's great economies depend on taxes from the private sectors.

Total privatization can't be possible in Nigeria, we all know that. So why must we be hypocritical about it because it involves Atiku?
If he intends to sell off 90% of the NNPC and allow the government retain just 10% of it, then i see no harm in it so long as the NNPC will now be able to solely determine the prices of petroleum products instead of the frequent fluctuations of prices by independent marketers.
I believe there are good positive growth to the ideas and proposals Atiku is tabling and offering Nigerians.

Buhari made vast promises about not selling off assets and clearing off our debts, but yet, look at Nigeria today, at a point where the CBN governor proposed selling off Ajakuta steel plant just to fund the 2019 budget after diving this nation into the worst external debt in Nigerian history of over $18.91 billion. It's totally preposterous.

So I believe Atiku means well for NIgeria having learnt and grown out of his past mistakes wherein.

Volksfuhrer:
Your naivete is mind-boggling!

Firstly, privatisation of nitel did not create millions of jobs, the telcos that gave nitel competition did!

Secondly, don't ever compare nitel to a cash cow like NNPC...lailai.

Thirdly, you also claim many agencies are being "run by private companies abroad." But you fail to realise there are excellent institutions abroad that "oversee" all this; even then, there are still problematic externalities.

We are here in Nigeria where corruption is a beguiling monstrosity, and you dare suggest a strategic company like NNPC be sold! To whom exactly? Atiku's cronies? You bet. And who guarantees that the privatisation process is transparent? Saraki? You get the drift now!

I understand aljharem's fears, and you dare label him a fool. Nigeria is not ready to sell NNPC now.

And finally, Atiku should go on self exile and never come back. Greedy thing!

Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has promised to create three million jobs, every year, if he is elected as president in 2019.

This was one of the key points in the policy document released by the PDP flagbearer, yesterday, which details a seven-year timeline in which he intends to deliver on his campaign promises.

Giving a breakdown of the rate of unemployment in the country, Atiku said: “Close to 16 million people are unemployed, nine million more than in 2014.

“Over two million new entrants join the labour force each year meaning the unemployed share of the labour force more than tripled in less than a decade: from 5.1% in 2010 to 18.8% in 2017.


“Unemployment for women and young people is at 33%, 70% of unemployed youths are uneducated and unskilled.

“Creating jobs and economic opportunities for these people will be vital both for reducing the pool of easy recruits for violent groups and reducing underlying grievances that feed the conflict”.

As a solution, he said his administration, if elected in 2019 will, “Launch a new, more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable national Entrepreneurship Development and Job Creation Programme…”

Presumably, tens, if not hundreds of images would have been taken at a meeting of South-east leaders, which had opposition presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in attendance on November 14, 2018.

But only one of those photos elicited a fascinating ripple and set the Nigerian social media alight for its surreal depiction.

The image shows Ben Nwabueze, an eminent constitutional lawyer and one of Nigeria’s renowned elder statesmen, resting his head on the left shoulder of Mr Abubakar, candidate of the People’s Democratic Party.

Mr Nwabueze, fitting his signature red cap, clenched his right hand around Mr Abubakar — his eyes soaked.

Mr Abubakar, Nigeria’s vice president between 1999 and 2007, returned the gesture with his left hand, an iconic embrace that lasted several seconds, per those present. Ben Obi, a former senator, had a place-able gaze from the right side of the photo, and to his left was Chinwike Ejike, deputy chairman of Igbo Leaders of Thought.

The picture, which was sent out by his campaign, was taken at the event in Enugu by Udim Effiong, his official photographer.

The rallying cry
The most influential photos always come with a backstory, and the iconic image of Mr Nwabueze — an Octogenarian of Igbo extraction — projecting his expectations on Mr Abubakar like a Rorschach test, was not different.

The story began last year in Lagos, when Mr Abubakar was invited to observe a meeting of Southern Leaders of Thought (SLT).

It was on a Monday.

The meeting was proposed to advance a common front on restructuring.



Mr Abubakar, who had commenced ground works for a presidential run at the time, even though he had not formally made it public, asked about Mr Nwabueze shortly after arriving the meeting, according to two people who were there.

Mr Nwabueze, co-chairs the SLT.

A few minutes later, Mr Abubakar was notified of the arrival of Mr Nwabueze, and he quickly went to the entrance of the stairway, to welcome him.

With the help of an aide, a quivering Mr Nwabueze made his way gingerly upstairs, spending several minutes on a walk that usually would take a few seconds even for some senior citizens, attendants said.

“Prof, why are you doing this?” Mr Abubakar had asked Mr Nwabueze. “The clock is ticking, and fast, too. I have a sense that this may be my final assignment,” he replied.

At 86, Mr Nwabueze rightly noted he might not be around for much longer, and he took restructuring Nigeria to heart.

The need to restructure Nigeria has been at the centre of Mr Abubakar’s presidential run, even when it might not be popular in his northern region.

President Muhammadu Buhari has refused to subscribe to restructuring Nigeria, a decision his top campaign insiders said is primarily because he knows it cannot be actualised as it is guaranteed to divide the legislature between north and south representatives.

Still, the vice-president, Yemi Osinbajo, has refused to let Mr Abubakar take absolute ownership of the conversation going into a general election in which it might prove pivotal, repeatedly enunciating his long-standing conviction that the federal government should be weakened for a better Nigeria.

But far more than Mr Osinbajo, it appears so far that Mr Abubakar has managed to convince leaders across the south that the restructuring is an agenda he could deliver on, if elected. The southern leaders played a key role in Mr Abukakar’s emergence as PDP’s presidential candidate on October 7.



Echoes of restructuring have grown louder across Nigeria’s south over the past two decades, amidst claims that the Constitution is largely unworkable for a multi-ethnic, multi-religious entity like Nigeria.

Pro-restructuring agitators also believe some constitutional provisions tilted towards the northern parts of the country at the detriment of the southern federating units, and persons like Mr Nwabueze are amongst those pushing for their dismantling.

Blurring the lines
Mr Buhari’s critics have heavily accused him of being sectional, especially in his federal appointments which seem too lopsided for a diverse republic like Nigeria.

The president has strongly denied allegations of harbouring an ethnic agenda, and even argued that more positions have gone to the South than to his northern Fulani kindred.

But ahead of 2019, conversation around restructuring could serve as a major platform for unity, according to a political analyst, Shola Olubanjo.

“The first take away from that picture is that it elevated restructuring to a platform for unity between the North and the South,” Mr Olubanjo said. “The leaders who have been pushing for restructuring seem to be very serious about it, and it does not matter to them whether the person to turn that into reality is from the North or a Muslim.”

Paul Ibe, a spokesperson for Mr Abubakar, confirmed the meeting that held last year in Lagos over restructuring, but declined to provide specific details.

“But I do know that the emotional embrace of Mr Abubakar in Enugu the other day has something to do with the Lagos backdrop,” Mr Ibe told PREMIUM TIMES Friday morning.

The spokesperson was unable to say if Mr Nwabueze would be stomping for Mr Abubakar during the presidential campaign, which officially opens on Sunday.

Talking about illiteracy, you sing the growth of our reserves like GEJ actually literally left them empty.
Are you not simply an illiterate for believing such?
If the our reserves was really empty, how come Buhari came and Nigeria still had such great borrowing power that has given him the ability to borrow about N13trn naira in 3 years?

kayfra:
Growing reserves doesn't necessarily translate to improved macro or micro economic conditions. Stop being an illiterate or don't argue on a subject you know nothing about

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) claimed yesterday that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was becoming nervous at the widespread acceptance its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is gaining in the South East.

This, the opposition party said, is a manifestation of what awaits the former vice president in all the geo-political zones in the country.

The party added that Atiku’s acceptance demonstrates the settled resolve of Nigerians across board to vote out the Buhari administration due to its manifest failures in governance.

The PDP national spokesman, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, said the party “is aware of how this acceptance has sent jitters down the spines of APC and President Buhari, having belied claims that Mr President and the APC were making inroads into the South East.

“With the assemblage of all leaders of note in every sector from all the five states of the South East receiving our candidate, it is settled that President Buhari and the APC do not have any support in the zone. This acceptance could not have been less significant because the Buhari-led APC administration has no achievement, of any sort, in the entire zone.”



The PDP also commended the people of the South East and Nigerians in general for their courage in collectively resolving to rally round Atiku and other candidates of the party to rescue Nigeria from the “shackles of the Buhari administration and return her to the path of good governance, national cohesion and economic prosperity.”

Yo have valid points about his decisions.
But am certain he will review and follow the right steps towards resurrecting our ailing economy.

kingkakaone:
Nice comment bro. I never knew nairaland has people who can engage in arguments without insults until I commented on this thread and I can tell u I am thrilled by the mature mentions I got. Even though some people disagreed with me, they never insulted but only made their counter arguments on facts. Thanks for ur contributions.

Lemme say this concerning Trump's detractors, they don't understand his methodology because it is alien to their normal ways of doing things and also don't want a change in status quo.
The USA is known to use diplomacy in growing their economy through pacts with different nations and it has never given them this level of growth because in any agreement between people, there must be compromise.
This compromise is halting the US gradually and it is evident in their debt which has trippled over time.

Trump found the loopholes, he saw that these nations are taking advantage of the agreements and blocked it with his policies, we all can see that their unemployment rate is reducing quarterly.
Do u know that as of yesterday China is calling on the US for a discussion on trade? That is the power of having the right policy internally.


Now look at Atiku's statement, it is suicidal because of our over reliance on imports.
We import virtually every thing which is unsafe and dangerous to the local currency if the market forces are to determine the strength of the naira.
The FX is will be overstretched and we may end up becoming like Venezuela.

I didn't know being an opposition to your perspective was a definition to being dull.

Unfortunately i understand it all, and i vividly know about the global recession because it in some way affected my business.

But you trying to look at Atiku's intentions from a failing perspective is ridiculous.
He has stated his intention, his financial team would still have to scrutinize the best ways to go about this and if need be, prevent any catastrophe from befalling this nation.

Iamgrey5:
You don't know about the Global recession of 2008 ?


You don't know about the push by countries like China and Russia for greater control in international agencies like IMF and world Bank to reduce America's power in global investment?

You are dull! no pun intended

Noted.

dimeji1:
Obviously u don't understand what he said. Uhm... investors move their money to a more stable economy. USA raising the interest rate means a lot of countries that needs investment will also have to increase their rate above USA rate in other to attract investors. 2016 Treasury bill go as high as 20% in other for government to raise fund locally. Buhari floated naira around 2016, dollar was exchanged around N400-N500. So, he should first reduce importation by investing in local industries then he can float the naira there after.

Unfortunately for you, Buhari has deceived and brainwashed your senses. You're in doom.
