By electing Peter Obi as President.


Tinubu have tried his best for 3 years now and his best is very terrible, it will be madness for Nigerians to consider him for another term in office.


Atiku have tried together with Obasanjo and he tried his best because their regime wasn't as terrible as Tinubu's regime of today. Atiku helped Obasanjo to discover great Nigerians from all over Nigeria who made Nigeria proud, that is a credit to Atiku, he is not tribalistic like Tinubu.


Peter Obi have never tried as President or Vice, what Nigerians ought to do now is to give Peter Obi a try and compare, and I tell you all that in just two years as President, Nigerians will witness wonders. Nigeria will start getting recognized in the global scene for good.


Meanwhile, op you cannot expect Peter Obi to expose his leadership secret to you so that Tinubu and co can copy and take credit, he has told you that he will deliver on the promises he is making so give him a try and see.

Same thing tinubu supporters said back in 2022.

So, we expect bad leadership, which you would defend.

And yes, tinubu is going home, no two ways about it. He did what you are suggesting, Nigeria is suffering.

You are like the emilokan geng that you don't like.

See wahala.
Do you think Tinubu's agenda is to improve the welfare and development of this country? Not at all. He's only interested in making himself richer at the expense of the masses.

What concerns Tinubu in all these questions you raised.

1. How do we reduce borrowing.?
Tinubu CAN NEVER stop borrowing. Where will he get funds to steal if he stops borrowing?

2. How do we improve power supply?
What concerns Tinubu with improving power supply. Somebody that installed solar system in aso rock leaving the masses at the mercy of Discos and Gencos. Oyo is your case.
Tinubu said he should not be voted if he is unable to restore electricity. Under his rule we had the most grid collapse with Discos and Gencos dancing DISCO and MAKOSA.

3. How do we fight corruption?
Haba, Tinubu lacks answers to this question. How do you expect him to fight himself na?

4. How do we improve funding for education and healthcare?
How will he improve health care when France is the destination to attend to his healthcare needs. Have u seen the budget for health? It's less than 5% of the total budget. As regards education, What's his business with education? After all, he gave out nelfund to students with the intention of increasing school fees. Nothing goes for free under Tinubu. Now some of our undergraduates are certified debtors hoping to get jobs that are not even available.

5. How do we improve production.?
Lol... I'm sure Tinubu will dodge this kind question when asked directly. Production how na? Ogbeni clear the way. Baba knows nothing about production. Na only tax tax tax dey him head.

6. How do we improve government revenue.
Tinubu's answer to this is to "Widen the tax margin" and thereby strangulate SMEs with unbearable tasks.
Many SMEs in Lagos shut down operations out of frustration when he was the governor. The tasks were excruciating meanwhile lots of basic amenities were not provided. More revenue from tax means more money available to steal.

If you are voting out Tinubu then you have made up your mind against him and you don't deserve a response from those who support and believe in his reform.

But for the sake of information I will ignore your bias perception and answer your questions.

1. Power Supply: The only way to increase power supply is to decentralized it and remove power generation, transmission and distribution from being exclusive right of the Federal government.

Nigeria would have improved in this sector if Enron which was established by Tinubu as Lagos state governor have been allowed to function. There no economic sense in asking state government to generate power and then send to national grid to be enjoyed by lazy governor who uses his allocation to sponsor pilgrimage.

That aspect has been taken care by Tinubu administration that passed the bill into law for state to control the tiers of power. That is why state like Abia could generate and distribute power to major section of Abia state. With the passage of the bill many states will take power generation seriously and it would be a shame if Niger Delta with their 13% derivation cannot provide power for their states same go to vibrant states in SW with high IGR

Borrowing: Nigeria is a developing country and need all the resources in the world to catch up with developed country. So the issue of reducing borrowing is lame. What should be required is to seek transparency in borrowing and zero corruption in money borrowed.
Personally I will suggest a fiscal restructuring where government at the centre has few responsibility while the state or the region engage in aggressive development through aggressive borrowing. This will create a sense of responsibility and accountability on the government at the state/ regional level.

Your lord and "slaveour" said we should vote him out if he is unable to provide steady electricity. So what are you saying?
Do you still want Nigeria to vote him out or not? Enough of the "I will, I will, I will." Thats how Buhari deceived Nigeria into getting a 2nd term that was worse than his first tenure!

When he was busy running his mouth against Jonathan, he thought the presidency is a child's play. Ogbeni, rest jare! Stop defending nonsense.

3. Fighting corruption. There's no corrupt free country in the world, what we have are strong institution that reduces corrupt tendencies of human nature through prosecution and punishment.

That can only be achieved if the people of Nigeria would be allowed to draft their constitution and state clearly punishment for corrupt public officers and private individuals.

Every Nigerian is a potential corrupt person because of our value system. Nairaland 1, you are corrupt in waiting and only complaining because you are not in a position to embezzle

Health care / Education: The centralized system we practiced will continue to stifle our growth and retard our development as there would never be enough to develop until we truly restructure and grant fiscal autonomy to state/region of the country.

This also answer the question of wastage, corruption and borrowing

You are voting out Tinubu and he is "evil". Why include APC supporters in the list of those you pose your question to then?

Which APC supporter will comment seriously on a thread started by someone clealy prejudiced against their Party and President?

You're too emotional and biased for your own good.

Increase Production: The government at local, state and federal level need to pay more attention to factors of production, Aggressive education, investment in research and technology and investment in critical infrastructure, all this will require huge financing which can only be kick start through responsible borrowing.

Government Revenue. Improvement can only come through accountability. Both state and federal receive allocation and it's so appauling to see ignorant citizen blaming Federal government for things that falls under Residual List.

The Nigerian citizen lack basic understanding about its constitution, civil rights and obligation and doesn't know the role of FG, States and Local government. civil education. Blaming Tinubu for your state responsibility is akin to blaming your inlaw for your wife's inability to cook. Each tiers of government has its role and should be blamed or applaud accordingly.

However, restructuring will play huge part and exposes deficiency of some state government who hide under a centralized government to shift blame

I agree with all you have said. Now I want to hear how your candidate, the one you support, deals with these issues.

Thank you

Lol

You are running away from the fact that the government doesn't let the power sector make a profit by forcing them to charge tarrifs that are not cost reflective for the majority of the customer base.

That means that the sector is running at a loss.

This year, revenue earned by discos has not been enough to just fully pay gencos. The result is a power sector that runs ata loss.

And thus no improvement.

And your goverment owes monies in subsidy debt and even debt on tarrifs.

So your party supports more borrowing.

And thus more debt

I accept we have to borrow. But what you are proposing is increase in borrowing and debt

What about taxing more of the GDP and fighting corruption ?

You can't tax poverty to prosperity, while there's need for reasonable tax, a developing country is different from a developed country, copying and pasting expired economic models won't do anything.

Nigeria need to borrow responsibly, FG, States and Local Government. The idea of lumping Nigeria responsibility into FG shows shallow understanding of the country. It is abnormal to talk about FG only in a Federation. Tiers of government with powers should equally take the responsibity

Many of you should get down and do some reading, and stop running with old and distorted information.

The new electricity bill passed in 2023 has addressed the issue of tariff. No NERC can dictate how much you charge your customer where you generate and supply power to your targeted market.

Read this and get informed;

Under the new arrangement, states that have completed the transfer of regulatory authority can establish their own tariff methodologies for electricity supplied within their territories.
This means:
A state regulator can approve tariffs for its licensed electricity operators.
A state can introduce different pricing arrangements based on its electricity market.
A state can support consumers through government-funded electricity subsidies.
Private power companies can negotiate regulated supply arrangements with customers.

nairalanda1:

The buck stops at everyone's table, developing a multi ethnic and multi religious country requires shared responsibility, That what grow USA, it is a strong unit that produces a strong centre, looking at it from the point of " System Theory" but people like you are so myopic to expect that one president, will just wake up and perform magic.

How does the recent attempt to draft a proposal for restructuring ended? what was the position of the SE leaders in that meetin?, these are foundational problems that must be solve to birth a new Nigeria. Yes, the bulk stops at everyone's table

Where is the abuse? You that callled your President evil nko?

The problem is, most states don't want to allow cost reflective tarrifs.

So, basically, both APC and the oppostion, don't like cost reflective tarrifs.

You will tell me that it is due to poverty, and no doubt you are right, but the tenor of this thread tells me that neither the APC, or the other parties are ready to make the tough decision needed to introduce cost reflective tarrifs for the naiton.

May God help our power supply, indeed.
