Fellonigerians:
Hez trying to pick the ones for the inauguration dinner. I am sure all the beef for dinners at Aso Villa will be procured from his farm...

vanunu:
Is it not the same subsidy that jona tried to remove and there was serious demonstration against him in the north and south west.

Deregulation of transmission lines should not be a priority for now, it should be left with the company that is managing it.

1. 1.The cardinal agenda of the government and their over-arching themes will be SECURITY, CORRUPTION and UN-EMPLOYMENT; they believe that corruption has a very strong negative link to both security and un-employment.

2. There will be no real action until around October, partly because the 2015 budget is GEJ’s and may be fully approved in April; the new government will seek to align the electoral and fiscal calendars to avoid this type of problem in future

3. A cabinet will be announced very quickly, within one week of inauguration; anyone with a whiff of corruption or other tainting will not be on the cabinet; GMB’s body language will reflect zero tolerance for corruption

4. Emphasized that the APC is not a conclave of cardinals but includes the good, the bad and the ugly; in Nigeria, the bad and the ugly can be the biggest electoral assets but GMB’s government will not interfere with law enforcement agencies or the judiciary even if APC members are involved

5. The VP elect, did a lot of work as commissioner of justice in LASG and will bring this to a major revamp of the judiciary to complement anti-corruption drive and the rule of law; he will also anchor the economic committee

6. The new government will continue with some of the programmes in the GEJ administration, which were successful, for example Agriculture, but there will be a stronger collaboration between FGN and the states

7. A very LEAN government is the focus; this will involve resolving overlapping and redundant MDAs; largely in line with the Steve Oronsaye presidential committee report; this report was available to GEJ’s government but the will to implement it was absent

8. Rather than strengthen key anti-corruption agencies like EFCC, ICPC and SFI, these are likely to be consolidated and a single entity will be made more effective

9. Believe that CBN is getting over-burdened by developmental finance issues, at the expense of its core objectives; this will be changed

10. Subsidy on petroleum products will certainly go and the industry will be reformed as a matter of priority in order to attract new investments

11. While power reform has been commendable, and will continue, the approach will change. Transmission will be deregulated, regionalized and privatized in order to break down centralized transmission; issues of gas supply to Gencos will be addressed but the new government believes that DISCOs are the biggest bottlenecks presently; the government plan to add-on 4,000 MW of power every year and expect that output will be a minimum of 12,000 MW at the end of term of this mandate

12. Think tank detailed work indicate that N3 trillion in savings can come out of plugged leakages; believe that the employment drive will be private sector led

13. The government will allow market forces to prevail, including foreign exchange; debunked the view that GMB will use fiat to fix the exchange rate; however the government will keenly seek to protect the more economically vulnerable segments of the society

14. There will be tightening of the tax noose but no tax rate hikes/FIRS will be strengthened and the LASG IGR template will be adopted at the national level

15. While the infrastructure gap requires huge capital outlay which the government does not have, a master-plan will be developed; a situation where the recurrent budget is almost 80% and capital budget only 20% is not acceptable…(it does not appear detailed work has been done here….for example, they believe that un-employment is partly due to lack of skilled labour and hope to more actively engage the academic community to train for these skills…..but the tertiary institutions will need to be massively upgraded before they can compete )

16. Advised that we read the APC manifesto, available on the website and also, the Steve Oronsaye report

agabaI23:
No he is an insincere man because he promised miracles. You hyped him to heavens and raised expectations. Now he that he is there you are seeing his lowering of expectations as sincerity instead of fraudulent? I'm watching all of you. I'm sure some of you are already ashamed. He will continue watering down your expectations until you are ashamed of defending him.

ikkkkk:
^^^ Senseless @ it's peak.

shizzleStar:
You mean there were recruited by PDP agents but ended up thumb printing for apc which gave them 1.9million in kano and 1.3million in katsina?

you must be inherently stewpid.

sweet7oyin:
Are you sure “NEVER”

Ephemmm:
Okorocha promised any Imolites who can convert to islam 2 million naira! Your brain needs to be scanned, formatted and laminated to see if it will function well in another state of affairs.

Honezhly.....

NZEGWUAGU:
How can you insult Igbos by saying Rochas is the only remaining visionary Igbo leader? What makes him visionary? Perhaps it is because he dances to the whims and caprices of Hausas and Yorubas. For me Rochas is simply a desperate politician who thinks he will be accepted more by other Nigerians by betraying the Igbos.

jazzydee:
You mean the same brain you used in voting an illiterate General? Time will tell who had brains, may 29th is around the corner power will change and Buhari presidency will be tested for four years and compared with GEJ presidency. later we shall know who used their brains to vote and those who voted clannishly.

At least we in the SS/SE have made our choice never will our state funds be used to fund Abuja politics again, Our funds will be used to develop our states and region, knowing the antecedent of the Northern and SW presidency in Nigeria which has never benefited us. We don't expect anything from Buhari's presidency and will be the least disappointed with his failure to deliver all his lofty promise of $1=N1, N5000=$5000 monthly stipend to all unemployed youths,changing the oil price in international market, eradicating corruption with the likes of Amaechi and tinubu in his party etc. but we will use our state resources to develop our region and our people will be better for it while you and your likes will be waiting for the 5000 monthly stipend..

mulattoclaro:
shut that your diarrhea infested mouth and close that set piece you call a mouth. Why won't he be lashed when he used the entire resources of rivers state in funding apc. The south south region generates all the income Nigeria has and yet when one of its son's became president the north felt that their birthright has been taken away from them. You're not from the South South. I won't be surprised if you're like those sellouts and slaves who always lick the asses of their hausa / fulani slave masters called yoruba. Nigeria is what it is today cos of the south south. Thank God wike has won. We will ensure that no oil producing region goes to apc. Your fulani cattle and Tinubu want to come and loot from where they didn't sow.

aknopic:
My name is akinwunmi am a student studying
law.
I ave a huge problem relating with people
especially girls
This is how the problem goes
when a girl talks to me, I feel difficulty replying, I
just mumble words like I don't know how to
speak good eng.
When i talk I just feel sth restraining my vocal
cord
My movement is also not leftout, I just feel like I
am not the one moving and thereby becoming
absent minded.
Also when am about to talk to someone I feel like
sth is in my head, my eyes will get dry, I get a
feeling of mouth of odour all these block me from
passing info thereby leading to BLACKOUT.
My public speaking is not also leftout. I feel
pressured all arnd my body wen I am about to
speak
I don't know if there's any one here that can help
please I don't want my life and
career to be ruined just because of this.

seunfly:
So where in this article did it states that Buhari want to cancel it?
You people will just die of hatred.

donddeus:
Disregard all the rubbish results you are seeing here. EMEKA IHEDIOHA of PDP
is on top

theV0ice:
No bagga should be allowed to argue Imo politics with you henceforth. I've always silently followed your posts and wondered if you're living in lala land with your analysis but with today's showing, I doff my heart

You're a prof emeritus on Imo politics

thumbs up to you
