We had SURE-P under Jonathan, and under Buhari, we had N-Power, TraderMoni, the school feeding programme, and several major infrastructure projects.
Buhari’s administration constructed the Abuja��Kaduna railway, Lagos–Ibadan railway, Itakpe–Warri railway, the Lekki Deep Sea Port, and the Second Niger Bridge. His government also approved bailout funds for 27 states, paid ₦72 billion to Rivers State for federal road projects executed under Rotimi Amaechi, paid the 13% derivation to oil-producing states in the Niger Delta, and continued paying fuel and electricity subsidies.
Despite all these expenses, the government also spent heavily to defend the naira and support education.
So, with all the money saved from the removal of fuel and electricity subsidies and other policies, can someone point to one major achievement of Tinubu’s administration that compares with Buhari’s?
To me, Tinubu’s administration has been a disaster, and I do not believe he deserves another opportunity to lead Nigeria.
God forbid!
NELFUND;
In August 2024, President Tinubu directed that ₦50 billion recovered from yahoo boys by the EFCC be released to fund NELFUND.
The President announced this on 4 August 2024 ordering the release of ₦50 billion to NELFUND from proceeds of crime.
Stop lying that it is money saved from subsidy removal.
Thank you.
The APC Campaign Council: Nigerians Deserve a New Direction
I have taken note of the recently constituted APC Presidential Campaign Council, whose composition offers Nigerians a clear picture of the choice before us in the 2027 general election.
The council brings together many of the same political actors who have supported, defended or participated in the present administration. Their coming together raises a fundamental question: what exactly are they asking Nigerians to vote for in 2027, a new beginning, or the continuation of the same system that has brought severe hardship to our people?
The truth is, I see the 2027 election as a struggle between the oppressed Nigerian masses and those who have benefited from, defended and sustained the system responsible for their hardship.
It is concerning to all well-meaning Nigerians whose across the country, their families are struggling with the rising cost of food and basic necessities. Young Nigerians face unemployment and diminishing opportunities. Farmers and businesses are struggling to survive, while millions continue to live with insecurity. Our education, healthcare and other essential public services remain under enormous pressure.
This ruling campaign structure presents another scenario between the oppressors and the oppressed. We must use it come 2027 election to reject continued oppression and demand accountable, people-centred governance. If Osun people can do it, so can all other parts of the country.
I particularly appeal to my brother, Senator Abdul’aziz Yari, who has accepted to serve as Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, to reflect deeply and reconsider accepting this responsibility.
As a former governor of Zamfara State and a prominent leader from the North-West, I believe Senator Yari has a clear understanding of the devastating consequences of insecurity, poverty, unemployment, displacement and the destruction of livelihoods in the region and the country at large.
I therefore will be surprised if in his good conscience, will lead a campaign whose principal objective is to secure the continuation of a government under which many of the people he once governed, and other innocent Nigerians remain trapped in these challenges?
There is also a serious institutional question concerning the inclusion of the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Dr Zacch Adedeji, and the Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Dr Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi, in the campaign’s fundraising and finance structures.
The leadership of critical public institutions demands neutrality, integrity and public confidence. It is therefore legitimate to ask whether the responsibilities of senior officials entrusted with managing public revenue and national finances can appropriately coexist with senior partisan campaign roles.
The government and the APC should explain how such arrangements are consistent with institutional neutrality and public trust.
Ultimately, no campaign council is more powerful than the Nigerian people. - RMK
Gombe to Abuja by taxi before removal of subsidy was just N5,500. After removal, it reached N55,000. So, tell me how the removal of subsidy helped us, you oafs!
Not a single day has passed without missing your presence, your guidance, your prayers and the values you instilled in us. While the world remembers you as a statesman and leader, we remember you as a loving father whose humility, discipline and faith shaped our lives. May Allah (SWT) continue to have mercy on your soul, Baba. Ameen.
Maybe I’m wrong but I think a government that demands accountability for how you spend YOUR money, but refuses to account for how it spends YOUR money, should be immediately replaced.
Person go chop allocation meant for your hospitals, roads, water works, schools…. You go see the person for community still they call them ‘your excellency’ and be groveling like a puppet that you are, all in the name of cultural respect….
You need to respect yourself first!
The reason why ADELEKE triumphed is that voters came out 43% percent is better than the recent voter turnout
If at least 60m people come out in 2027 the elections will be too big to rig
Nigerians must come out
