Africans and their mediocre thinking. At this age and time, and having seen the ruse called fighting corruption which is the only thing that can be counted for Buhari, and yet still bragging about a performance that has to be advertised? Prince Tony Momoh rose with the system of padi padi and will do anything to protect it. Truth be told, Nigeria has not changed in 3 yrs of Buhari's government. There have been no true efforts made to create opportunities for all. Only those connected still pull the strings for benefits even employment.
The Nigeria we want is that where regardless of your background, you have equal opportunities at education, employment, justice, politics and security for all; not one where criminals pay to have mobile policemen protection at the expense of law-abiding citizens.

I guess Buhari and his foot soldiers like Prince Tony Momoh do not understand what I explained here or are desperate to keep the system that places them above their more capable colleagues.

My thoughts.

Idiotic and moronic fool,even though I don't like Obj because of his sanctimonious attitude Bt truth be told he is light years ahead of this Daura man as regards leadership,this Daura man is negative on the scale of leadership and Nigeria has been on autopilot since he took over,what has he achieved and which project has he started and completed on since he took over?

Reallyhuh And the 3 years of Buhari already put us in 16trillion debt but 8 years of Obj cleared almost our debt and to you Mr slowpoke Momoh a debtor is better to you that creditorhuh Wait Mr slowpoke Momoh how did you manage to have TV station because your reasoning is so poor?

Let's stop listening to this goat he is confused I was told a ministerial slot already waiting for him come 2019 so I know why he talk foolishly.

nairavsdollars:
Prince Tony Momoh, a former Minister of Information was the national chairman of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change (CPC) which later merged with some political parties to form the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). In this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI in Abuja, he speaks on President Muhammadu Buhari’s declaration for reelection, former president Olusegun Obasanjo’s letter and latest developments in the ruling party. Excerpts:

The president’s declaration generated mixed reactions from Nigerians with many saying he has not done enough to merit a second term. What is your take on this?

If they believe he has not done anything in his first term, then they have the option of voting him out. If they can muster the votes to vote him out, goodluck to them. I was telling someone some few minutes ago that don’t look only at what Buhari has failed to do, also look at what could have happened if Buhari had not been there. One major thing that could have happened if Buhari was not elected is that most of us enjoying Abuja and talking peace would never have been around because Boko Haram would have overran Abuja. That is the clearest danger that was prevented by Buhari’s coming. Whatever people say about whether Boko Haram has been degraded or not, the fact is, in the North East today, Boko Haram is not holding any territory. Lots of people have now returned to their farms. Another fact is that today, we are not using all our monies in importing food. The fact that we have also gotten out of recession is another plus. Look at the South- East, in 16 years results of presidential election were written up. 99 percent of the results were written up and there is no doubt about that. Though Buhari did not have more than 5 percent in most of the areas, I am sure that there is no way in the 2019 presidential election, Buhari will get a minimum of 25 percent that needs in the South East and South South. That is one area that a lot of people don’t think about that he will make inroads in those areas. Buhari has done a lot for those regions in the last three years and I am confident that they will appreciate him with votes. For instance, Onitsha- Enugu road, go there today and see what the Buhari government has done. What PDP failed to do in 16 years has been done. Enugu- Okigwe- Port Harcourt you can pass that road today. Also, the erosion sites are being addressed. Also, look at the social security programmed of the federal government, the one meal per day. So, a lot of things are being done by the Buhari government. Power is being generated from 3,000mw to 7,000mw. Things are happening. Look at the achievements in TSA and BVN. The blockages are there for everyone to see. The loss of the looters is the gain of the system. The economy is not full time boom, unemployment is still there. But it is unfair for anyone to say things are not happening.

There were reports that he once said if he becomes president, he will only serve one term. Why do you think he is changing his mind now?

Buhari never said he will only contest for a single term. Buhari I know will never say so. In fact, he said he will not contest again after the 2011 election. I was the national chairman of CPC and I said ‘shut up! You are a member of CPC. It is the party that decides where you go to. You are only an individual and so, he bowed to the wishes of the party. So, he never said he will do a single term but even if he said so can he not change his mind? But I am saying that he didn’t say so. He is constitutionally qualified to contest twice. We have people who fought for third term in this country. This man has not even contested for second term and you are saying he should not contest. If you are a member of the party and you are telling people not to contest, it will be understandable. But you belong to other parties and you are telling someone in which party you are not a member not too contests. People should respect themselves, otherwise some people will take issues with them .


Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has advised President Buhari not to seek reelection in 2019, citing his non-performance as example. Do you think his call is justified?

I don’t want to say anything derogatory about Obasanjo. I respect him, he is highly cerebral and he is of high consequence in our polity. In 1979, he gave us Peugeot as official car and Volkswagen. In 1999 when he came back, he ditched Peugeot as official car brought Jeep. It is as if he regretted the sacrifices he made up till 1979 and wanted to live a life of opulence after 1999. Obasanjo was really very poor by the time he came out of prison in 1998 but by the time he left office, he wasn’t a poor man. Up to the time he came back to office in 1999, he was saying anything about whoever came. After 1999 and up till now, he has had a say in who is there. But the fact is that Obasanjo’s relevance in political calculation has limitations because it is the votes that will count at the end of the day. I am happy with his guts because he knows that he cannot risk putting up a political party that will win an election. If he does and the party loses, he is finished politically. So, he won’t try it. If he says Buhari should not seek reelection, it is his own business to say so. There is freedom of expression but he does not have the forces to stop Buhari. He doesn’t have what it takes politically to stop Buhari.

Some people have claimed that once Obasanjo moves against any president, such a president cannot get a second term as witnessed in the last presidential election where the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan lost. Do you also share that view?

Obasanjo will not get involved in any coup and no coup in Nigeria that is resisted ever succeeded. So, how will he remove Buhari and put another person there? Will he call the Yorubas, Northerners, South Easterners and South South to vote against Buhari?

You were alleged to have said Nigerians should stone APC leaders if the party failed to perform in two years. Do you think the party and President Buhari have performed to the expectations of Nigerians?

Yes, I said stone us if we didn’t perform but we have performed. Look at the economy, we came out of recession. Look at the revolution in agriculture; look at what we have also achieved in the area of fighting corruption. I make bold to say that there is no president since 1999 that has performed as Buhari has done?

Are you saying in three years President Buhari surpassed Obasanjo’s achievements in eight years?

Yes, by far! From 1999 to 2003, there were parallel presidency, Obasanjo and Atiku. Obasanjo spent one year travelling out of his first four years. He left governance to Atiku to such an extent that Atiku was calling the shots. I was working for Ekwueme and we were discussing with Atiku to run with Ekwueme. Unfortunately, Obasanjo went to meet Atiku, I don’t know what agreement they reached but the fact is that Atiku changed his mind. When Obasanjo and Atiku won the 2003 election, people from Adamawa sent a delegation to Obasanjo asking him to support Atiku for 2007. I was writing my column that time in Democracy Watch and I predicted that the first casualty of Obasanjo’s return in 2003 will be Atiku. Between 2003 and 2007, Obasanjo spent the most time trying to dislocate Atiku. In 2005, because the soul of PDP was PDM, Atiku’s party on whose platform Obasanjo got to power, the then PDP chairman, Ahmadu Ali announced that PDP had sacked everybody and they should go and re-register but the instruction was PDM members, Atiku’s people should not be registered and so they deregistered PDM. Atiku and Obasanjo were so much at loggerheads that Atiku as Vice – President had no work to do and he was funding his office with his own money. Obasanjo even wanted to remove him as his deputy but the courts refused. So in Obasanjo’s eight years, he spent the first three years trying to find his feet, he then spent the last year settling down. However, the next four years that he would have sat down to do his work, he was busy using it to destablise Atiku and therefore destabilising the polity. After the eight years has gone, he now wanted Third Term which Nigerians kicked against. Obasanjo’s coming from 1999 to 2007 was a time that he would have really built Nigeria just like Rwanda and other countries did but those eight years were the greatest disaster in our democracy project.

Must of APC members lost sense of fair judgment and gained shamelessness. How can a normal person think of comparing Obj's administration and Pmb's insensitive jamborees. I wounder. Lai Mohammed and Tony Momoh seem to have draw their genetics from the same source of untruthfulness. My God forgive them. Propagandas and fake promises cannot win the presidential 2019 election for APC. That era is gone.

this man called tsa,BVN as achievements Gush I can't believe my eyes in this present day when the standard measurement of achievements should be on how standard of living has improved, how the incessant killings needs to be stopped,how jobs and massive jobs has been created (d agricultural jobs they keep saying are on papers),how Nigerias foreign policy has been better, how robust our economy has become challenging the already developed...saying PMB built roads and u call that achievnment me is laughable because that is his job, infact it's part of our right to have good roads and constant electricity and every govt b4 PMB tried just like how PMB has tried but the bottom line there is Buhari has not delivered and we can't have another 4 years of him because that would be bad.....is high time we did away with all these old men that can't even operate mobile phones let alone managing the affairs of a country as big as Nigeria

Tony Momoh is one of the problems of Nigeria; making unguarded statements of out of unguided sentiments. Sense fall on his uncircumcised brain.

I don't pity OBJ, he's an old green snake that helped Buhari's popularity in 2015
Tony momoh should go and hide his face in shame and let the another man run his race
that's is hate speech against the person of Obj and well meaning Nigerians.
they continue saying rubbish against other people's tenure but can not point to a
single achievement of the so call buhari.
Economy - fail ,Security - fail (Boko haram,Benue,Taraba,Kogi,Nassarawa,Jos ) et al

Do we have youths who are of great historians with a rich sense of political archive here around the world who are sensitive enough about the problems and solutions of the African continent or most of our youths are so disconnected that all they know is reality shows, gossip news, home videos, silly music, senseless Tv drama and soap opera, headless comedy, events and Big brother Naija or big brother Africa. It is 2019 again and the big old fools are coming back to recycle themselves and their family to steal a position that is rightfully reserved for the innovative youths who have alot of life in them to offer.

old men with dead rotten brain, who know only to tell tales of the past and dont have a focus for the future because the future isnt theirs, they belong to the 60s -80s..we belong to the future. Death should wave its useful hand and rid us of all the old fools.
