SalamRushdie:
Instead of heeding the advise of Obasanjo and start helping Buhari to pack his bag in preparation for his return Journey to Daura with what's left of Buharis dignity the evil regressive govt would rather reply Obasanjos truth with a barrage of the same lies and mirage they are used to telling Nigerians when we advise them to improve. It is now clear that the Buhari govt choses to immerse itself in the streams of self deceit instead of embracing advice from well meaning Nigerians by reeling out these false statistics from another realm which is obviously not Nigeria in a manner reminiscent of Bipolarity , is the govt of Buhari bipolar? Because we don't know this Nigeria where they claim to have achieved all these lies of imaginary achievements they spew .. Buhari came to power on a barrage of lies and has be misgoverning on a barrage of lies and blood so no surprises that they have once again chosen their barrage of lies as the pivot on which they want Buhari to recontest but than God today Nigerinas are wiser and we will make sure they don't miss the bus to Daura come 2019 .

Mr Man, GEJ is not coming back lai lai. See a therapist if you are still hurting.

Buhari will return and win a 2nd term convincingly!

We are not going back to fake economy and fake GDP which were fully based on reckless importation.

porka:
Where are the "facts"?

How do you measure your own progress?

Do you consider people selling their children to feed as an "economic progress"?

Is fuel price increase an "economic progress" in your economics textbook?

Over 15 million people have lost their jobs.

Thousands of companies have folded up.

Millions of children have dropped out of school in the last two years.

Where in the world is high cost of transportation and goods considered an "economic progress"?

What about suicides across the country, that's progress too?

Polio is back.

Lasser fever is ravaging.

These are economic progress?

Where are the economic indices.

Exchange rate remains over 300 naira/dollar.

lol @ you quoting figures without facts, indices and all the things you are demanding from other people.


Stop the hypocrisy, practice what you preach.

All this claims by Lai mohammed.. My humble question is where is the effect on common man in the street.. Millions of Nigerians lost their jobs.. Companies are closing and banks are downsizing.. Hmm. Who is fooling who.. God will judge you vampires.. Don't worry nothing lasts forever.. We the youth will soon find a common course to fight all this tyrant parading themselves as our leaders...

this old man is also a very good liar

this is one of the reason PMB advisors mismanaged the economy and ran into recession.

If this is what you have been doing for the past three years then you are not serious at all.

You are barely coherent.

Everyone knows that a victim of hypnotism is helpless.

Help will come your way in due course.

It took him 6 months to get his cabinet in order. Shortly after that, the geriatric idle man spent close to a year treating all manner of sickness across different continents. This is a man that had close to decade after his military operations to get himself and his house in order, but as expected, nothing was done until some failing failers decided to package the rotten fish and make it appear like sardine.

Should Buhari contest again? Yes, Nigerians love suffering, so he should come back and inflict the same measure of pains on his voters.

Suddenly, the idiotic electorates have totally forgotten a time when a dollar was exchanged @ N160-N170. Suddenly, we have gotten used to buying Peak Milk of N120 at the rate of N200. Suddenly, we have become used to paying more for less on very important sectors: FMCG, Fuel, Transportation, Levies, etc.

Suddenly, Lai Mu-hammed has decided to measure the failures of the current government and his party against the antecedents' achievements. Why not measure your achievements against your promises? Where are the 1 million jobs/year? Where is the $1=N1? Why do we have to spend more time and more money to get the fuel you protested against in Ojota? Where is the steady power you guys talked about?
What priority has Buhari given to e.g. education, health? Why do we still have to travel to Germany to treat common infections? This is the same hypocrite who rose on the platter of local content, decency and moderation to deceive the gullible with sachets of Milo and Union Bank loan.

Where are the jobs? What has been done about the many revelations, including the illegal recruitments at CBN, SSS/DSS, Federal Civil Service?
Where is N-Power headed? Should graduates really dwell on N-Power

How many states has Buhari visited since becoming the President? Can we measure these states against the number of foreign trips?

70+ were buried in Benue but the geriatric man abandoned their families to fate only to entertain some reckless coronated psychopaths in Aso Rock to talk about what? Reelection?

Well, I don't know whether Mr Integrity will come back or not, but what I know is that Nigerians will vote an ediot in 2019.
Nigerians can't give what they don't have. Many don't have the capacity to elect the right man/woman, so for sure, an ediot will be voted in come 2019.

Sapiosexuality:
This one whose legacy is etched in quicksand. Buhari needs to fire this guy if he really wants to make a point. We are still expecting the 1000 jobs from 1 masquerade. This dude played a huge role in making sure Nigerians hate Buhari and his epileptic Government. An old man who lies like a child.

On the contrary, every single achievement reeled out by Alh. Lai Mohammed is correct and verifiable. I don't see how he made Nigerians hate President Buhari. People don't need people to make them hate others.

Anyone who knows what recession means in an outrageously corrupt mono-economy, which is heavily import dependent too, will understand what this administration has achieved. Not only were oil prices down significantly, the wars against insurgency and pipeline vandals raged, milking hard on already lean resources.

While I concede that more has to be done in the areas of security of lives and properties, boarder policing and employment generation, I believe so much has been achieved in the face of prevailing economic realities.

Look at how JAMB, Nigeria Customs Service, FIRS etc, where smartly retooled for greater efficiency which helped in significantly closing the huge revenue gap occasioned by fallen oil prices. I need not mention how the Anchor Borrower's Scheme revolutionized the Agriculture sector creating millions of jobs. The Honourable Minister didn't even mention the 11 revamped fertilizer blending plants across the country that created employment for our teeming youths and helped pull down fertilizer prices from N10,500 to N5000 per bag, in view of increasing agricultural outputs, which will naturally address the high prices of food stuffs as is being currently witnessed in some parts of the country.

Let's learn to leave politics out of things that are of common good to us. Nigeria's progress is certainly a common good and I believe we are on track to achieving it. Everyone has to come on board and make their contribution if we must reach our desired destination.

I think president BUHARI should result to faith and go come 2019. let's try another person

@POLITICSNGR

Minister of Information and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress,APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has responded to Ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo's letter to Buhari.

In a statement obtained by PoliticsNGR, Lai Mohammed listed Buhari's achievements and gave reasons for the government's problems. The statement read;

"We have read the press statement by former President Olusegun Obasanjo on the State of the Nation.

For the record, Chief Obasanjo is a patriot, and he has proven this time and time again. We appreciate what he said concerning the Administration's performance in two out of the three key issues that formed the plank of its campaign: Fighting corruption and tackling insurgency. Specifically, the former President said President Buhari must be given credit for his achievement so far in these two areas. We thank him for this.

Apparently, the former President believes that the Administration does not deserve a pass mark in the area of the economy, which is the third of our three-pronged campaign promises.

We have no doubt that in the face of massive challenges in this area, this Administration has availed itself creditably. We believe that Chief Obasanjo, because of his very busy schedule, may not have been fully availed of developments in the government's efforts to revamp the economy, which was battered by the consequences of over-dependence on a commodity as well as unprecedented pillaging of the treasury.

Today, most of the indices by which an economy is measured are looking up. Permit me to say, however, that Nigeria would not have exited recession through a mere order or if the Administration had not made use of ''good Nigerians'' who could help.

This Administration is making steady progress in its determined effort to revamp the economy, and the results are showing:

* Foreign Reserves have peaked at $40b, the highest level in about four years, and up from $24 billion just a year ago, even though when we came in, the price of oil had crashed woefully.

* According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBC), headline inflation has fallen for 11 consecutive months, standing at 15.37% as at Dec. 2017. This is the lowest inflation rate since Jan 2017, and it has met and surpassed the target set for inflation in the Administration's Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP).

* Our determined implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) has stopped the hemorrhaging of the treasury. Some 108 billion Naira has been saved from removal of maintenance fees payable to banks, pre-TSA. The nation is being saved 24.7 billion Naira monthly with the full implementation of the TSA.

* The elimination of ghost workers has saved the nation 120 billion Naira

* At about 1.8 billion dollars, the capital inflows in the second quarter of 2017 were almost double the $908 million in the first quarter.

* In the wake of a stable Naira and increased investment inflows, Nigeria’s stock market emerged one of the best-performing in the world, delivering returns in excess of 40 percent.

* Nigeria rose 24 places on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business ranking, and earned a place on the List of Top 10 Reformers in the world.

* According to Q3 2017 figures, agriculture export is up year-on-year by 25%, solid minerals exports are up year-on-year by 78%, raw materials exports are up 70% year-on-year and manufactured goods exports are up 22% year-on-year.

* Government agencies such as the Nigeria Customs Service are reporting highest-ever revenue collection, while JAMB, under the new management appointed by President Buhari in 2016, remitted N7.8 billion to the coffers of the federal government.

The total amount remitted by JAMB between 2010 and 2016 was a paltry N51 million!
These positive indices may not have immediately impacted positively on Nigerians, but Nigerians will definitely get a new lease of life a short while from now. This is because the good news from the agricultural sector, which is recording a bumper harvest, will bring down the cost of foodstuffs, especially such staple as rice, and our massive Social Investment Programme will ease the pain of the most vulnerable in the society.

When we assumed office in 2015, some 6 million farmers were involved in rice production. Thanks to the Anchor Borrowers' programme of this Administration, we have grown that number to over 12 million farmers. The result is that our rice import from Thailand alone has dropped from 644 metric tonnes to 22,000 MT in just two years. This is phenomenal.

Apart from rice, Nigeria is also doing well in other grains,
especially Millet, Sorghum and Maize. We are now the second largest producer of sorghum after the US, the third in millet after India and our breweries are now enjoying local sourcing of those commodities.

For maize, we are producing 10 million tons while we need about 13 million tons for both human and animal nutrition. Nigeria leads the world in the yam and cassava production. We account for 70% of the world's yam production. In two years, we hope to be the world's largest exporter of yam! Overall, our ambition is that agriculture should rise from 25% to 40% of GDP, so that we can banish poverty and overcome our economic anxiety.

Our Social Investment Programme is Nigeria’s most ambitious social welfare programme ever. Currently, 5.2 million primary school children in 28,249 schools in 19 states are being fed daily; 200,000 unemployed graduates have enlisted into the N-power Job Scheme, and a quarter of a million loans already distributed to artisans, traders, and farmers.

Finally, our investment in infrastructure is simply unprecedented. This is because infrastructure is key to faster economic growth and development.

Here is a synopsis of what we have done in this area:
* Power Generation at an all-time high of 7,000mw and all can be transmitted

* RAIL: Lagos-Kano Standard Gauge is on. Lagos-Ibadan sector ready 2019, Kano-Kaduna ready 2019; The entire stretch ready 2021; Negotiations on for Coastal Rail covering 15 cities from Lagos to Calabar.

* ROAD: 25 major highways being funded with the N100b Sukuk Bond, and all geo-political zones are benefitting equally

This Administration is not unaware of the enormity of the challenges facing the nation, but we are up to the task. We have taken the bull by the horns, and long-suffering Nigerians will begin to experience a new lease of life as our efforts yield fruits. We will not go into a state of funk for whatever reason.

On the Herders/Farmers' clashes, this Administration is determined to end the crisis resulting from this once and for all, not minding the fact that the clashes predate us. we urge Nigerians to have faith in the Administration's ability to resolve the crisis, and to watch out for concrete measures in this regard.

On whether or not President Muhammadu Buhari should run for another term, it is true that many Nigerians have been calling on the President to run again, while others are opposed to his return. However, we believe this issue is a distraction for the President at this time. This is because Mr. President spends every waking hour tackling the enormous challenges facing the nation, most of which were bequeathed to his Administration by successive past Administrations. He is committed to fulfilling the mandate given to him by Nigerians in 2015. And that's where we are right now!

Finally, we have no reason to believe that former President Obasanjo has any motive beyond the well-being of the nation in issuing his Special Press Statement. We have also taken his admonition in good faith, and we thank him most sincerely for taking time off his busy schedule to pen such a long statement.

the economy was fast forward into recession by PMB and his team with open face and it came with its baggage of problems.
there is no butter sweeping the issue.the more you guys continue to butter sweet how PMB mismanaged issues the more mistakes he makes.and the more mistakes he makes the more embarrassing

dukie25:
,
Obasanjo is so busy he did not notice our economy is booming. Lier Mohammed sure have a PhD. in lies.

Anyway the achievements he listed on behalf of this administration were all Jonathan initiatives.
From TSA to improvements in rail and Agriculture.

And he couldn't Implement any of the Initiatives despite unprecedented revenue windfall and six years on the throne?

Funny enough I also campaigned and voted for Buhari but jettisoned within 7 months of his presidency when I realise nothing good can come from the quality of brain in his head .

"But Obasanjo stole 4 HB pencils in JSS2." "But Obasanjo toasted my dad's girlfriend in 1969." "But Obasanjo said this last September." "But Obasanjo supported Buhari in 2015."
All these narratives are irrelevant. Let us focus on the issues at hand.

Buhari's administration is the most unfairly judged administration in the history of this country. Upon the monumental achievements he is recording, a lot of people still turn blind eyes to everything. The economic indicies are true testimonies showing that much efforts are being made morethan ever before to move the country foward. Yet, people still feel he should have rather perfomed magic. Well, time will tell.

You have not said anything. Fast forwarded into recession how, when President Jonathan had to borrow about N450 billion to pay salaries in April 2015, just a month before leaving office. When President Buhari first major task as president was to bail out over 20 States of the Federation that couldn't salaries of workers.

What are you fast forwarding please...are you seeing a movie??

Put your facts down, make your evidenced rebuttal of the things I have said.

the facts are that PMB and his it team did not fast forward the recession. the administration actually made sure by its actions it super dived into recession.
if I should start from all the goofs to the time emefiele was screaming and PMB turned blind eye.to the point of IMF analysis down to nairaland and pleas Nigeria economist.

Stop this disgusting reasoning, will you?

It's like there is no sense of shame.

You people took Nigeria's destiny and destroyed it beyond recognition and are now make unreasonable assertion with pride.

You took an entire nation into the abyss and now celebrating it shamelessly?

Fertilizer was sold for between N3900 and N5400 before Buhari brought his retrogression.

In fact, Akinwumi Adesina built his public career on fertilizer and agriculture.

He is now the current ADB president on account of his excellent performance in that sector.

Are the youths and women slaughtered in Benue, Taraba, Southern Kaduna, Adamawa etc also part of the "teeming youths" you have provided jobs for?

Customs is retooled for efficiency and celebrating a nominal increase in duty collection at N306/$1?

Which budget gap is JAMB's N5b helping to close, Oga?

Even FIRS that has consistently fallen short of revenue target is "helping close budget gap"?

He failed to state that when they took over, the inflation rate was a single-digit figure.
They succeeded in making it double digits.
So what he is telling us now is that they have only brought it down to the still high figure of a 15% inflation rate

Notice that he said that was the lowest it has ever been since Jan, 2017 not anything on or before May of 2015, confirming that the new levels of inflation highs have been recorded after this administration took over
