Buhari: N5000 Payment To Unemployed Youth Is Not My Priority by Freegift75(op): 9:59pm On Feb 27, 2016

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has said that he has a different priority other than to pay N5,000 to the unemployed Nigerians as had been promised.

He made the remark in Saudi Arabia as he continued his visit to the Middle East over the weekend. He said he would rather channel resources into the building of infrastructure, education, agriculture and mining to create employment opportunities for able bodied young men.

He said: "This largesse N5,000 for the unemployed, I
have got a slightly different priority. I would rather do the infrastructure, the school and correct them and empower agriculture, mining so that every able bodied person can go and get work instead of giving 5,000, N5,000 to those who don't work."

The promised to pay N5,000 monthly stipend to the most vulnerable in the society was a major plank of the presidential campaign of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) last year.

The president has also called for better conditions for
Nigerians undertaking the pilgrimage to the holy land of Saudi Arabia and has consequently directed directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Hajj Commission (NAHCON) to sit down with the Saudis to negotiate improved terms and conditions for our pilgrims performing the Umrah and the annual Hajj. His remark followed the completion of talks with rulers
of the Saudi Arabia and the acceptance by the Saudi
government to freely and openly discuss outstanding
issues with Nigeria.

.If true, then I support it. Aregbesola did his and it has culminated into a disaster. Invest into teaching and empowering people to fish rather than dashing out fishes from your dwindling pond (the oil earning) that can hardly feed you(FG recurrent bill), afterall people aren't droping dead from hunger or cripling yet.

This was an unrealistic promise from the get-go but GMB and crew chose to exploit hunger and illiteracy which his region accounts for the highest. On the basis of these and many more fork-tongued promises, he was voted into power by a supposed majority naturally from that same region.

He is touted as a man of integrity so he had better live up to it and give them their 5k!

Re: Buhari: N5000 Payment To Unemployed Youth Is Not My Priority by Nobody:
Those promises were made at $100 dollar oil. Not realistic at $30 dollar oil. Leadership must evaluate its decisions at every moments.
Kudos PMB. Yes it is a failed promise. But it is better to make d right decision even though it may lead to failed promises. Even though oil price have started falling during the election, it was still above $60 then which is twice what it is today.

This post is not to defend PMB. This post is to support him for making the right decision. I never agree to the 5000 naira stipend to unemployed graduate. It would have be a waste. But 5000 naira for the most vunerable 1million nigerians (Mostly widows and physically challenge) is welcome if we can fund it. 5k to unemployed graduate is a no no no.

PMB did not deny the promise was made despite the fact that he never personally made d promise. He is only saying on his scale of preference, that is not among top priority. PMB is a firm and sincere leader. He speak his mind straight up. No president in the world including United State of America, have ever succeeded in fulfilling all campaign promises.

At every point in time, a leader must evaluate what he consider most important to d nation and make a bold decision. Leadership is dynamic. It is better to be criticise for not achieving a campaign promise than implementing a promise that is unrealistic just to save face. Even if it means losing the next election,or losing popularity, a leader must put the country first.

The funny thing is dat those wailers who never supported the idea, who said it will promote laziness, will still be the one to condemn and criticise him for not prioritising it instead of commending him for doing d needful.

I am living in governance mode. I dont care about what campaign promise were. I only care about good governance. Any campaign promise that is not realistic today can go to hell. For those who cares so much about campaign promises, you can use ur PVC in 2019 and vote what u want.For those who claim Buhari won the election because of 5000 naira stipend for unemployed are not saying the truth. More than 99% of people who voted for Buhari voted for him because he was seen as much better to fight corruption and boko haram. Not because he promised 5000 naira. I am not even sure he got 100 votes because of the 5000 naira stipend promise.

For that primary reason of fighting corruption and Boko haram, he may not have done it perfectly, but he is clearly better than GEJ. And he was voted because he was considered better in fighting it than GEJ and not because he will be able to fight it perfectly. That is progress, Reduction of negative is positive. For that, he has fulfilled his top two campaign promises.

The greatest irony is that, majority of those who voted Buhari are okay with his decision. Majority of us who voted him dont feel deceived or betrayed. Majority of us who voted Buhari fully support him on this especially with global economy and oil price. Why are those who never voted him complaining of being Scammed? Wailers you were not Scammed because you never voted for his campaign promises! So shut your mouth!

Leadership is about optimising available resources for the best of the country. Not wasting it on project in order to look good and save face

These guys are liars and masters of the art of double speaking. Why didn't he make this position known while campaigning? I feel used.
I have discovered that Lie Mohammed is not actually a person per say but it's a spirit of lies that pervades across the entire party. That's why they all sound alike. That means at any given time, more than one person can be Lie Mohammed.‎

So Lai Muhammed is not the only liar afterall. The liar in chief has finally spoken.

Nigerians...We have been scammed...This one pass yahoo yahoo cos over 170 million people were deceived into voting them into power. Let's wait for 2019.

Meanwhile...It is true that Buhari rules Nigeria when he is abroad and holidays in Nigeria. If not why is it that we only hear about his policies whenever he travels.
