Whatever! PDP is dead already. You can continue looking for who to blame for that.

OrlandoOwoh:
This man is too arrogant.

luvmijeje:
It's commendable but what are his other achievement? I hope he didn't use the state allocation for recurrent expenditure alone.

First of all let GEJ and the 40 thieves return our $20Bn,
Reverse the sell of the power sector,
Maintain only 2 out of the dozen presidential fleet,
Slash the salary of the legislooters,
Possibly jail those found wanting for 16 years as we suffered.

The President elect, Mohammadu Buhari, on Sunday said the change Nigerians are expecting cannot happen overnight.

Buhari also said the incoming administration will, in the short term, lay emphasis on agriculture and mining to deal with the challenge of youth unemployment.

He said this while receiving in audience members of some northern groups, led by Alhaji Maitama Sule and the Northern Elders Forum, in Abuja, on Sunday.According to him, the task before the northern leaders, especially the clergy, is to help sensitise the public that the change they desire and voted for, cannot happen overnight.He pointed out that it took 16 years to destroy the nation’s economy, noting that the nation earned more within the last 16 years under the Peoples Democratic Party, than it did since 1914, but that most of it was frittered away.He said, “The biggest message is to try and persuade the people that it is not possible to change the state of affairs now. It took 16 years and those 16 years, most of you know it better than myself, Nigeria earned revenue more than what it earned from 1914 to then.

“You know that we used to have Nigeria Airways, Nigeria National Shipping Line, Nigeria Railways. Where are they now? Where is the infrastructure? Between then and now and what we earned in-between and what is on the ground.

“That is how efficiently how the PDP managed Nigeria in the last 16 years. Now we have invariably inherited all the problems, especially in the north east.”

Buhari added, “So, you have to convince your constituencies that you have virtually arrived at the wrong time and that they have to temper their expectation with some justice towards the leadership.

“I think whatever has to be deployed especially in the churches and mosques, this is the quickest way to communicate this to the ordinary people, continue to remind them if all the things I said in all the states I visited.

“We picked three fundamental problems. The first is security. The country has to be secured before anything can be put in place and then the economy. The fact is that more than 60 per cent of the Nigerian population are youths and most of them, whether they have been to school or not, are unemployed and this is the biggest danger if we don’t know it."

PassingShot:
If 800k voters used manual accreditation, let INEC/PDP prove it at the tribunal. And if PDP feels cheated or rigged out in any state during the last elections, let them proceed to the tribunals. Tribunals are not established for just the fun of having them. They're there for anyone who feels aggrieved.
