All they have to do is say ‘Igbo people don’t want him’ and see him being voted for. Putting emotions before fact.

He just tells them it’s only Igbo people they don’t want him because they hate a Yoruba president. They don’t ask him what he has done since being around power for 20 years now.

I know the Ipobian terrorists will jump on this thread and propaganda from Channels TV. Channel TV is a PDP media arm since 1999. Below is the actually speech of Tinubu in Kano.

[b[b]
]How Nigeria can overcome insecurity, unemployment, other challenges – Tinubu

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has outlined solutions to unemployment, insecurity, and other issues bedevilling the current administration.

Speaking at the opening of the 2021 annual Arewa House Lectures, which he chaired on Saturday in Kaduna, Mr Tinubu called on the Federal Government to invest massively in job creation.

The lecture was on “Reduction of the Cost of Governance for Inclusive Growth and Youth Development in Northern Nigeria in a Post- COVID-19 era”.

He said the government must urgently think outside of the box in finding solutions to the challenges posed by unemployment.

According to him, the frustration and despair among the youth were largely caused by chronic poverty and breakdown in social institutions.

“Building vital infrastructure such as irrigation and water catchment systems will help agriculture, arrest desertification and provide jobs.

“Another readily available area primed for investment is the agro-allied industry which, for the northern region is particularly advantageous,” he said.

Mr Tinubu added that government must implement a national industrial policy to encourage key industries to begin to employ the country’s growing population.

Herders/Farmers crisis
On the herder/farmer dispute, the former Lagos State Governor said the government “must appreciate that martial security measures alone will not suffice”.

Problems that are essentially of an economic origin must also have an economic solution.

“Enhanced security may be the necessary first step, but it cannot be the only step.

“We cannot resolve this problem by holding on to one-dimensional answers. We must all be dispassionate in our search for solutions.

“These challenges are multi-faceted and so the solutions must be.

“The issue of insecurity, unemployment and extremism has many things to do with governance, over time. We must tackle our deep and widespread poverty.

“If we limit government’s role under the erroneous assumption that government spending is intrinsically unproductive, then we tether ourselves to failure.”

‘Small government advocates’
He also cautioned those advocating for “small government”, advising them to learn from history.

“We would do well to more critically study how other populous nations such as the UK, U.S., Germany and China charted their course during their formative years.

“You will see that they did not adhere to small government or the purportedly free market. “Government engaged in massive spending on infrastructure and education while also engaging in policies that protected industrial development and key aspects of the agricultural sector. “Only when they matured and held advantages over other nations, did the UK and US begin to champion free markets and small government.

“We would do well to understand this history and learn what it means for our own pursuit of development,” Mr Tinubu added.

He also cautioned against the assumption that government spending was unproductive.

“The development of any populous nation has always been dependent on the ability of government to allocate sufficient funds to projects and programs that create and encourage enduring growth and employment.

“We must reject that mode of thinking that assumes government expenditure is inherently unproductive as well as harmful to the overall economy.

“It is not the fact that government expenditure is intrinsically wrong any more than one can say all private sector activity is economically positive.

“Government can be wasteful or it can be the key component to growth just as a private sector business can function profitably or spend itself into bankruptcy.

“The issue is not whether government is spending money or not. The real issue is the economic utility and quality of the expenditure,” the Asiwaju said.

‘Fiscal wisdom’
Mr Tinubu suggested fiscal wisdom in running the nation’s economy, which he noted was weak due to the efforts of the COVID-19 pandemic. “Fiscal wisdom but not necessarily austerity is required for an economy like ours in a time like this, to ensure equitable wealth redistribution and meaningful use of resources.

“The years have shown that the private sector is much too weak to spur the growth we need.

“If the private sector could manage this feat, it would have already done so. Where the private sector is too weak or unable, the government must fill the void.

“This means government must not be afraid to embark on an activist fiscal policy to create jobs, build infrastructure and develop our industrial sector as well as continue to improve agriculture.

“This means government must spend money on those things that bring the requisite economic returns for the nation,” he said.

Mr Tinubu advised states and local governments “to shape their budgets to suit their revenues, as federal government spends more to create more jobs for the youth”.

This, he said was to eradicate restiveness and sundry criminality among the youth.

COVID-19
On the effects of COVID-19 on the economy, Mr Tinubu advised the government to provide more stimulus packages to revive the fledgeling economy.

“In the midst of our local challenges came the COVID-19 pandemic, with its debilitating impact on the global and domestic economies.

“Nigeria, like many other countries, has not been spared the impact of the pandemic.

“Commendably, however, President Muhammadu Buhari has been carefully steering the country through the pandemic such that the negative impact on us and the economy has not been as harsh as it might have been.

“The economy’s relapse into recession has ended, but we must admit the economy remains weak with too much unemployment and resources left idle,” he added.

He said nations that recovered most quickly from the 2009 economic crisis and now from COVID-19 “were those that engaged most in government stimulus spending”. (NAN)

PrinceOfLagos:

He will never be president

Go rest

Except something serious happens, this man has the highest chance of becoming the president in 2023. See my Igbo brothers who one could confidently say is their turn. They are never prepared or doing anything from that part of the country. I agree they are undisputable in the area of business but I also think they should start grooming people who can also venture into politics. Almost everybody they have presented so far are just business men and the academia who might not be able to navigate the rough Nigerian political terrain as presently constituted until there is a significant change.

However, whoever invariably comes in should remember Nigeria is their first country even if they have multiple citizenship. They should therefore do all that is necessary to salvage the failed state called Nigeria.
Re: Tinubu: We Must Be Careful About Reducing Cost Of Governance by stanisbaratheon: 9:23am On Mar 28, 2021
Of course, since he has not become President the cost of governance should remain until after his turn.

Nigerian Politicians have a special place in hell.

I think he is going senile.

Context is everything. He should come forward and justify how the high cost of governance in Nigeria has yielded anything positive.


A cost of governance that is so high that it improverishes the governed and strips them of any access to basic need.

Cost of governance that bestows perpetual pensions, 4 brand new cars every 2 to 3 years for ex Governors and their deputies, pensions for their wives while even the brightest young chap working in a blue chip company in the same country can't afford to buy even the most basic brand new sedan in the market even if they have to save all their allowances for 5 years. He should come justify that. Wages , structure of government, should mirror the environment, ours is upside down like everything.

He should come justify how it is efficient that a governor has 21 commisioners, 500 Senior SAs, 1000 SAs, retinue of economic advisers, chairmen of 100s of Boards and their members and such state can't pay basic salaries for months, is in huge debt, can't provide basic amenities, education is zero, health is moribund and roads across the state is in abject disarray while the so called leaders receive fat salaries for such absolute underperformance.

When he is done maybe we can have a discussion as regards how efficient our cost of governance is.

He must be mental honestly.

story for the gods.
why am I having this feeling, that no matter what we do, this man may win the presidential election 2023. because 2023 is his only chance to be President and if he misses this I don't think he woould ever have the opportunity again.

I am not a fan of his government. I am just examining Evey possible outcome.
he will win in yurobaland if that is how you guy's have reduced your standard ,if they ask you now will you allow Tinubu to be the leader over your life,you will swear with your generation in rejection, but you believe he can rule over the affairs of 200million people. Is that not madness.
