COOLDUN:

My dear you are very intelligent, your analyzing skills is amazing keep it up. I was a supporter and voted for the PDP from 1999 but i will be the last idioot to do so again. No one would like to see his child of 12yrs at the same stature.

Our Igbo people say in our proverb that if a woman marries two husbands, then she will know that one that really loves her nost. You cannot judge someone without trying him or her first. The APC members might be ex devils but i will give them a trial, as long as my vote remains my right, i will judiciously use it this time around.

We are good in complaining but very bad in taking action. Hence all of us are afraid of death, then the best thing is vote wisely in the next election, because ones bitten twice shy.

It is only a mad fellow that would be repeating one thing and would be expecting different results. When you criticize Pastors people will tell you not to judge, for you shall be judged, but when you criticize the APC members no one would caution you.

Many countries tried by voting in the opposition parties into power and things changed for good in their countries, e.g. Ghana, so why can't we try it as well? We claim to be the most civilized black nation but the wisdom and courage we don't have. Let the APC present a good candidate and let us give them a trial. If we could hopelessly wait for 16 yrs for the PDP , why can't we do such for only 4yrs to the opposition party? I am not a member of any party, but a legitimate voter's card carrier. Thank you all.

greaterlove: Details, details, details. Why is it that our politicians are very vague. To generate 40000mw you need about $40billion , they should tell us how that money will be raised in 4 years, our yearly budget is about $30b, 25% is what we have for capital projects. So are we going to borrow? Raise taxes? Or are there private companies that can invest that amount? We need more details, what are the bills they will send to the house, why is their present law makers not pushing those bills now so that we know this is what they stand for? How are they going to tackle corruption, what definite steps will be taken in the civil service, police, oil sector etc. Will they push for the passage of the P.I.B. bill? Please they should break it all down for us, we have the time to read, we don't need summary.

texaco1: People are finally saying the truth about A C N and Apc ,which we have been saying all these while.the corruption going on in many APC state is better left imagined. Thank God people are starting to speak up,even fashola that people are hailing to be the best governor is now been attacked by lagosians for his anti masses policies.
The moment APC wins the presidency and which I know will and can never happen is the day nigeria will become the private company for tinubu and his followers

texaco1:
There are 2 reasons why they can't tell you how
1)They have no intention of doing all that they have said
2)They don't even know how to do it because they have no idea,just like the first comment on this thread "talk is cheap"

On Federalism, the manifesto added: “APC will initiate action to amend our constitution with a view to devolving powers, duties and responsibilities to states and local governments in order to entrench Federalism and the Federal Spirit.”

On power, APC has pledged to generate and distribute up to 40,000 Megawatts of electricity in four to eight years.

The manifesto said: “Power is the centre-point of the development process. All other indices of development anchor on power and energy. The failure to make power supply efficient has impacted negatively on the economy. It has made the cost of production and business high and has invariably raised the cost of agricultural produce and other finished goods and services thereby thwarting the growth of our economy.

“The crisis in the power sector is one of the major causes of the present collapse of the industrial sector and the inability of small-scale industries to thrive. To kick-start industrial growth in the country, stable and affordable power supply is an absolute necessity.

“The APC Government shall vigorously pursue the expansion of electricity generation and distribution of up to 40,000 megawatts in four to eight years. The party will also work assiduously at making power available from renewable energy sources, such as coal, solar, hydro, wind and biomass for domestic and industrial use, wherever these prove viable.

mapet: Our politicians will be very vague, when you and I stand at a distance and dont actively engage them in debates. There will be lot of debating fora. Please come there and come and tear their proposal to pieces.

Stop throwing figures you know little or nothing of, without veritable source data. Even if we need $40billion dollars (which I argue is ridiculous and overstated by you just to score unnecessary point) there are various international monetary/funding agencies and investors that can be brought into the project. There are lot of innovative approaches to sourcing and funding projects......

fujirice: Same old peeps that are out of power for long struggling for relevance
See their faces? Not even a single young mind amongst them....smh *vigorously*

mendaymi: see them Aro student,Yaba left applicant , when u said they can not tell us how to generate 40,000MW I taught you have sense not untill you type rubbish, see opposition party can never tell you how to make thing right now,because of the timing and is like giving their glory to the ruling party or are u a dump? Oh sorry I remember Aro and Yaba left

greaterlove: There are many ways a Nigerian can air his or her views, the radio, tv, internet ( naira land being the best so far) and town hall meetings, I have never heard even in america where the citizens are given full freedom to express their opinions during debates. If you read my post again, you will notice I said " our politicians are vague" not just APC, but also PDP. I know you would have been very happy if I said PDP alone is vague.

if you can go back to some of the threads on power generation on this platform naira land, you will find out that the figure was not arrived at from my imagination, moreover Google is within reach, you can do your research on how much other countries are spending to produce 1000mw. The $40b I quoted is just for production, you will still need more for distribution.

mapet: Citizens can even get together under some organized pressure or intellectual groups and coordinate their questions. Pressure groups and organized group can organize debate themselves and invite contestant. The Anglican Church Lagos West Diocese has consistently organized Governorship debate at Archbishop Vinining Cathedral, inviting all members of the public to attend and all are given freedom to ask question. This has been in operation from the second term of Tinubu to date./

k2039: My take is simple.

Talk is cheap.

Why do you think there is no such debates for the LGA elections?
Is the church not located in the Ikeja LGA?
Are we saying we have no interest in what the LGA does with its monthly allocation from Abuja vis-a-vis its constitutional role & functions to the residents of the area
