APC be making promises and later on counter them, i won't be surprised if the president's spokesman comes out to defend Buhari saying the 5k promise was not made by Buhari but by his party. Asif Buhari ain't the forerunner of APC right now. #TooMuchAPCRubbish

Hmmmm
APC supporters....
when Buhari made d promise, they supported it.
Now that he has reneged on it, they support it
If he tomorrow reintroduces it, they will support it.
Even if Buhari turns around and says unemployed youths shld pay #5,000 monthly to govt, they will support it.
To them Buhari is always right. he must not be criticized

Do you mind the idiiots! I remember them telling the whole world how practicable it would be. They claimed that there was more than enough money to carry out this idiotic idea. Well, let's all enjoy the change. This is just the genesis. Where's the integrity in all of this? Bloody hypocrite. Unrepentant liar and deceiver. Shameless president.

False. Not all campaign promises are met. Politicians sometimes make promises he knows are popular at the time but renege on getting to power because of the impracticability of such promise.

Obama made the promise that he would shut Guantanamo bay if elected during his first campaign for office and had been reiterating the same promise since then. Uo till now - just a few months to the end of his Second term, guantanamo bay is still opened, and he has not resigned.
that why they are all mad! including saint buhari...so to sum it up buhari is just like other politicians compared to what he claimed to be

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 made 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.

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

Reference:
The Abuja - Lokoja highway was conceptualized during the Abacha era and handled by half a dozen 'contractors. That road is 300 odd kilometres long or 300,000 metres. You can easily get an army of 300,000 idle youth in the shadow of that road to each deliver a section 1 metre wide by 20 metres across in 24 hours; grade, fill, compact and lay; if you provide the materials. That project has been on-going for 20 years without end. This is how infrastructure was started in China in the 70's. This is how some less well off provinces in South East Asia tiger on today. Governance is not hard.
not when you have a senate president justifying why he needs a fleet of cars smH!

Go and read your first post again. If u see s+u+p+p+o+r+t there it means someone else wrote your SSCE English for u. Mind u I am for Buhari but I think he goofed on this issue. Even if he had done it for say two months and then come up with this argument he might get a support. Honesty is the best policy.

While I appreciate the fact that present administration is facing a deluge of inherited problems, the truth is that the 5k stipend was used as a campaign strategy even when it was glaring that the price of oil will continue to decline.

The APC should have known better when the promise was made. Yes Nigerians wanted a change, we want a change based on realistic projections and not wild wishes

In conclusion, I also expected that such a major pronouncement like that should be made in Nigeria. Let our President speak to us here in Nigeria and not from outside the country.

This man is yet to come to terms with the fact that he is now the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria and no longer the opposition... Bubu needs to be realistic, and stop living in this fools paradise (APC).

First, ur body odour became odorless and scentless, then u couldn't defeat boko haram after 8 months when u promised to wipe them out in 2months baba...

And so a dollar skyrocketed above N300 just when we had $1 = N1 in sight and now this N5000 initial lie from the pit of hell that is now hunting u.

If some how PMB believed in the propagandas and lies of the APC to land him the big job, and it did, then it would be foolish of him to think that this back and forth statements of his will see him through to 2019.unless perhaps he wants to prove right the many Nigerians who believes he is a NEPA cert president.

The cost may be high. If well planned and executed, the project can yield more than the cost. That's it can self sustain. Read "Work Projects Authority" [WPA] used by Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt of USA in 1933 during the great depression. More than 50% lost jobs. More others were underemployed. Lots of what the work projects created are still lasting till today. National parks and natural monuments preservations. The nation makes money from visitors till now. Tennesse valley authority.
And many, many more that it will take volume of book to list.

Some idiots writing on this platform need prayers to get some sense! If you promised your child 200 naira monthly stipend while awaiting admission into the university and your earnings from your business was 20k then. If suddenly, your earnings drop to 5k, do you still go ahead with the payment, even to the extent of borrowing to fulfill the promise? No way, you will not! Rather, you should be more concerned with the payment of school fees from the paltry earnings when he gets admission. A reasonable and sensible child will understand and bear with the dad. I believe a good father will rather invest in his child's education to secure his future. Likewise Buhari is committed to investing in agriculture in the face of dwindling oil prices, in order to diversify the economy and ensure food security, thereby securing the future of the Nigerian youth. This is more sensible and sustainable!!

I promise to buy you food and then I later tell you "sorry, I wouldnt be able to do that anymore for certain reasons"; how on earth is that a lie?... You need that dictionary more than anyone else.

Meanwhile, the man still has 3 years to find chibok girls and efforts are currently ongoing in that regard, so I still dont understand what you mean by lie here, except of course you need that dictionary more than everyone else.

I love leaders who are not hypocritical; who doesn't score cheap popularity. It is better doing the right thing than pleasing people.
