When President Buhari broke the news that he won't be paying N5,000 to 25 million Nigerians(which is contrary to his campaign promise), there was a reaction of feelings of betrayal of trusts across the country (though some of us weren't surprise). As if that was not enough pill to swallow, the Vice President's office released a statement denying the existence of such promise. This denial came 24hours after the government's spokesman Alhaji Lai Muhammed insulted Nigerians intelligence when he appeared on Channel's TV on February 28. According to Lai Muhammed

Nigerians may forgive President Buhari for failing to meet any of his unrealistic pledges but can we swallow the denial and insults on our collective intelligence from the government? I think it will be appropriate to address the claims of the Vice President and that of the Information Minister squarely before gullible Nigerians swallow them as truth.

1. VP Yemi Osinbajo Claim of No "Unemployment Benefit" Promise:
It is never my intention to pick on Yemi Osinbajo, a man many see as the face of the righteous in government. It is however worrisome when the supposed model of Christians in politics engage in bareface lies just to suit interest of his government and group. First, he desecrated the pulpit by claiming that President Jonathan(and Yar'adua) built no road in 10years. Haba! As if that was not enough he has gone further to deny a key campaign promise of his party.

Was Yemi Osinbajo in limbo when APC Campaign team put up this billboard during the electioneering period?

Is Yemi Osinbajo saying that Hajiyya Aisha Buhari, the President's Wife was out of her mind when she reminded them to fulfil the promise on November 10, 2015 through her spokesperson Mrs Adebisi Ajayi?

“The wife of the President, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari has appealed to the ruling party All Progressives Congress, APC not to renege on their campaign promise of paying N5,000 to 25 million unemployed Nigerians and giving school children one free meal a day."
www.championnews.com.ng/aisha-buhari-to-apc-pay-n5000-to-unemployed-youths-as-promised/

Was Yemi Osinbajo in limbo when in November 2014 the Youth Minister in the presence of the National Chairman of APC, John Oyegun reiterated the government's pledge to pay the unemployment benefit?

“I would want the youth to understand that every promise must be backed up by budgetary provision and our promise to pay N5, 000 is not contained in the 2015 budget. So, definitely, it is going to begin in 2016 as we have made budgetary allocations for that,"

Is the VP telling us that Nigerians are stupid? I won't be surprised if the VP comes tomorrow to deny ever pledging to pay the elderly and disabled that he made on January 7, 2015 in Osun state. Quoting his own words....

“The elderly and the physically challenged would also not be left out, as our government would be giving them allowances.”
www.dailypost.ng/2015/01/07/2015-osinbajo-says-buhari-will-create-720000-jobs-becomes-president/

Or will Osinbajo also deny ever making such statement?

2. Alhaji Lai Muhammed Blame on "Oil Price Fall":
Speaking on Channels TV on Feb 28, 2015, Lai Muhammed said...

“When you campaign, you say you will do A,B, C, but when you win election, you prioritise. “We are still faithful to those promises, but as you have rightly said, when we were campaigning the price of crude was $100 a barrel, today it is $30 a barrel so definitely, we will have to downsize some of the things intended to do but this does not mean abandoning those promises.

buhari-downsize-campaign-promises-lai-
mohammed.html

While I will not spend time to address the effort of the Information Minister to justify a deliberate act of deception, I find his deliberate act of blaming oil price as offensive and inappropriate.

Firstly, oil price started dropping in July 2014 when Buhari was yet to pick up APC Presidential nomination form. As at November 2014, the oil price downed to $77 per barrel from $105 per barrel in July 2014. As at December 2014 when Buhari won the APC ticket, the oil price was at $60.70 per barrel. As at January 2015 when APC inaugurated their Presidential campaign council and rolled out their gigantic promises, the oil price was at $47 per barrel. As at March 2015 when Buhari won the election, the oil price shot to $52 per barrel. As at April 2015 when Buhari was declared winner by INEC, oil price was $57.54 per barrel. There was NEVER a time that APC made ANY promise when oil price was selling at $100 per barrel. Is it that it is only Alhaji Lai Muhammed that was unaware of this?

The positions of VP Yemi Osinbajo and Alhaji Abdulai Muhammed is not only a slap on our intelligence but a scandal on the government of Buhari. The statement by Yemi Osinbajo, that is supposed to be the face of born again Christian believers(which I belong) is worrisome. Is this a government of promised change or a government of change of promise?





May God Bless Us All and Bless Our Nigeria

Carefully read everything.

Scrolled back to look at the OP's name, and nearly slapped myself for reading through.

This government will go down as the most dishonest administration.They way they shamelessly deny their promises even with graphic proof is mind boggling.

Politcans do lie but this particular lie that seems to tell Nigerians that you guys are nothing but short minded ignormaruses.Osibanjo and oyegun went over there head to defend this

The most disturbing thing is not the lies but rather those who defends their brazen lies

Zombies:
sai Baba... change is here..Nigeria will rise again!
.
Buhari:
I never promised to pay unemployed Nigerians 5k each month.
.
Zombies:
No mind those Jonathanians. With their fake news. Show us links where he promised that. We are solidly behind you. Nothing for yam eaters
.
Buhari :
We have started collection of data to enable us pay the unemployed graduates 5k.
.
Zombies :
Where are those TANoids that said Baba is not a promise keeper...shame on all PDP. Baba till 2023 !
.
Buhari:
I wont pay 5k to unemployed youths. Its not a priority !
.
Zombies:
Baba is right! Whats the use of 5k? What can 5k do to anyone. Mr president we love u. Best president ever!
.
I wont be surprised if I wake up tomorrow and hear :
.
Buhari:
Unemployed Nigerians should pay 5k every month to the government.
.
His idiotic zombies will be like:
.
Zombies:
Think of what u can do for your country and not what your country can do for you. Baba is right. But I know those unpatriotic wailers wont pay
.
Abeg no vex o. Is this thing ordinary?

Most Nigerians deserved every insults the gullible politheifians give them..whether APC or PDP,who ae those that collected 500 naira to vote?,who ae those that collected. Groundnut and gari to vote? Who are those that collected grounut oil to vote?...Nigerians!!!!...so abeg spare me this epistle...PDP,APC,APGA and others are crap!!!!!

Wow really? So you are not smart enough to know that once a candidate wins his party's ticket, he doesn't stand for himself but his party? He no longer sponsors himself but his party sponsors him? Did Buhari submit his name to INEC by himself? Did Buhari replace APC logo on the ballot? Please sir what are the Buhari promises?

Divorcing Buhari from APC promises is absurd

And some zombies will end up insulting u @ Barcanista for stating d obvious.

Anyways, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. If na lie ask Prof. Osunbade (In Bubu's voice)

I have always seen your write ups, but I prefer not to comment!! But I want to make an exception with this specific post!!

1) It is your collective effort to rebuild PDP, goodluck with that. But remember that you. can't rebuild it through nairaland.

2) No 1 can't be possible because nobody! I repeat NOBODY in PDP gives a F**k about your existence!!

3) If Sherrif was actually Imposed on PDP members, who are you to make a difference in the poo party??

4) Fix your party before tackling we that voted for APC!!

5) The final question now is..." Assuming Buhari tenure end tomorrow, Who will be PDP's presidential candidate??"

FIX YOUR PARTY

This nigger no dey tire to wail over dust?

Abeg god, grant dis homeboy some sort of employment soon! Abeg sir!

Has he denied it?

So how does this relate to the deception of the Buhari administration?

BTW: I'm solidly behind Sheriff...

Terrible and sad.

But I could forgive Lai Mohammed because he is living to type and acting true to his calling.

As for VP Osinbajo, I must say, I'm very disappointed at him.
How could he have condescended so low to join the propagandist to juxtapose facts and conjecture figures without recourse to 'the truths', 'the records' and 'the history'.

The other time...

So you have finally found your voice?Changed your DM.Is it also a coincidence that you ironically found back your lost voice when the"The zoo must fall" chanters and noise makers seems to have realized they are on a failed mission despite all the earlier empty and noisey threats and decided to key into the"One Nigeria"project....albeit grumbling

Bros you need Rev King in your life

By the way,do you now believe and support Biafra?

You are quick to point to the deception of another party after 9months in office, but as a goodwill Nigeria, you won't calculate if it is actually worth it!!

Imagine a scenario where unemployed youths are paid 5000naira monthly but the working men and women are owed their dues!! You will still come out to shout "deception"... I am non partisan and I have witnessed "hard times" in the country!!

But yet I judge every government with the "Forces" affecting it and drop in Oil price is one of them!

Let's go back to your State, if you can be frank with me, you will asnwer my question with all sincerity!!!

Name the Government in Nigeria that has fufilled 20 percent of its campaing promises!!

Talk less of after 9months in Office!!

Quote me when you have an answer to give me!!

Remain blessed!!
