SOWORE IS THE ANSWER TO NIGERIA’S PROBLEMS: VERDICT FROM “THE CANDIDATES” TOWN HALL SESSIONS

The Candidates – the presidential town hall co-production between NTA, Daria Media and the MacArthur foundation, drew to a close last night following Atiku’s appearance with his vice-president, Peter Obi. If it is fair to say that a leader’s true worth shines forth under pressure, then we can state categorically that there was one winner from the series and that was Omoyele Sowore, presidential candidate of the African Action Congress.

Although Buhari and Atiku have artfully dodged a frontal debate with Sowore, The Candidates placed all the candidates on the same platform, with the same interviewer. And for 2 hours, Nigerians had the opportunity to hear the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the four leading political parties in the country talk about their plans and programs for Nigeria, as well as answer questions about their past. The town hall series was revealing. Nigerians have now had an opportunity to weigh their candidates for the highest offices in the land.

Buhari demonstrated a worrying cluelessness about many of the goings on in the country. He frequently had to be prompted by his Vice President, as he failed to hear or comprehend most of the questions asked. Buhari seemed neither mentally present nor interested in Nigeria. The APC has no ideas for how to steer Nigeria away from the crippling problems of insecurity, power sector failures, growing unemployment, farmer-herdsmen conflicts and lack of affordable healthcare access that continues to plague Nigeria. One could almost be moved to sympathy for Buhari after his catatonic performance, if it weren’t for the vicious wickedness that is the intention of foisting a second term that would extend and double our misery, on Nigerians.

Kingsley Moghalu and his running mate demonstrated that their ideas were as dated as those of the establishment they seek to replace. There were no bold plans to create jobs or to light up NIGERIA. There were no clear policy positions on how to address the challenges of insecurity and corruption. The town hall session also revealed the glaring lack of preparation of his vice presidential candidate. Suffice to say that his policies and heavy reliance on his previous stint as the deputy governor – a position that makes him complicit and responsible for a lot of the financial rot that Nigeria faces today – reveal him as being part and parcel of the establishment.

Atiku and Obi proved yesterday, that all of our fears that electing the PDP would simply replace one layer of corruption with another more complex and pernicious one, were true. Atiku could not satisfactorily explain his part ownership of a company that did extensive business with the Ports Authority when he was still in the Nigerian Customs service. He could not explain the money laundering indictments and allegations made by the US Senate Homeland Security Committee. Peter Obi squirmed and faltered as he attempted to convince Nigerians that he was doing Anambra state a favour when he invested billions of the state’s money in a venture in which his family’s NEXT International Nigeria, was a major shareholder. It is now clear that Atiku and Peter Obi complement themselves well. They are two vultures with the same corrupt feathers. They had no clear plans for any of Nigeria’s most pressing issues. They were clear on one point though - they were willing to offer amnesty to all corrupt persons.

We are thankful that despite the attempts to prevent Nigerians from seeing and contrasting Sowore with Buhari, Atiku and others on the national stage, the NTA - Daria Media Town Hall series provided objective points of contrast. Sowore demonstrated a masterful grasp of Nigeria’s issues. He showed amazing clarity in his vision for the country. Nigerians were able to learn first-hand that Sowore has been involved in the fight to move Nigeria forward for 30 years. Nigerians saw the courage of his plans and the strength of his conviction. Nigerians were reminded that he is the only candidate that committed to increasing power by 17,000 MW, doubling Nigeria’s road network from 200,000 km to 400,000 km, boosting our rail system from 3,700 km to 8,000 km, creating 5 million new jobs, paying workers a living wage of 100,000 Naira and creating an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

Nigerians also got to see that in Dr Rabiu Rufai, Sowore has a running mate who equally understands Nigeria’s challenges and has the intellect, integrity and political will to be a strong partner in the task of positively transforming Nigeria.

Nigerians now know what their options are. We have seen all of those offering themselves for the leadership of our nation. The choice is clear. There is only one team that can move Nigeria forward, and that is the Sowore-Rufai team of the African Action Congress!

Oga wetin now...lol.

Sowore is the answer.

Telling the average Nigerian about Sowore is like trying to explain the theory-concept of Nuclear fusion and Rocket Science to MC Oluomo...

Not this year

Oya kudos to soworethe guy has proven beyond expectations

HAPPY NEW MONTH, NIGERIANS...!

Welcome To The Month Of FailBuhari... The month we were waiting for.

Let's keep aside our tribal, religious and political differences for once and answer the call of patriotism.

Let's perform this national assignment of VOTING OUT BUHARI on the 16th at least for posterity sake...

By VOTING OUT BUHARI, you are voting out NEPOTISM... (Buhari has quietly turned Nigeria to his family business)- https://www.nairaland.com/4898295/opinion-proof-buhari-made-nigeria?_e_pi_=7%2CPAGE_ID10%2C5020878894.

By VOTING OUT BUHARI, you are voting out INCOMPETENCE... (It took Buhari a full six months to assemble his ministers, yet there's no economist in his cabinet - no wonder Nigerian economy has fallen from No. 1 fastest growing economy in Africa under GEJ to No. 41 right now under Buhari).

By VOTING OUT BUHARI, you are voting out POVERTY... (Nigeria is officially the world headquarter of Poverty under Buhari because our economy isn't growing, yet The dullard and his team are clueless. Even his highly learned VP believes that fighting poverty with unproductive schemes like Tradermoni and school feeding will grow our economy - an idea seen by economic experts as putting the cart before the horse. Our Economy cannot grow if we fight Poverty, but Poverty can reduce if we grow our economy).

By VOTING OUT BUHARI, you are voting out LIFELESSNESS... (It is no longer news that Buhari is unhealthy, not lively, and not physically and mentally fit to be a Local government chairman, let alone a president of a big country like Nigeria. He spent the first 2 and a half years of his tenure doing health tourism, only to stop when election came close. From the way he is stumbling and fumbling at campaign grounds, it is obvious he'll begin his health tourism again after this election).

By VOTING OUT BUHARI, you are Voting out a cabal of TWO POWERFUL MEN... (You don't know Buhari or what happens in Buhari's government more than his dear Wife. For his wife to tell you that two powerful men are controlling his government, you should know that a vote for buhari is a vote for those unknown powerful men).

There are many more reasons to VOTE OUT BUHARI... Add your own reason(s) below if you have the facts.

Once again, HAPPY NEW MONTH to you all!

Hmm

hmmmmmm

Sowore is distracting us. He should go and prepare for 2023 if he is actually serious.

We are voting Atiku. End of Discussion

Sowore should go and lead his state first lets see if he has the right temperament

Kreamie:

My thought as well.
Nothing beats a humble leader

If sowore were to become the president, he would deal with the saboteurs of Nigeria, but would he be able to handle power without destroying himself?

Ehen?
Your verdict sounds more like paid statements.

Sowore is really good. Atiku is a chip from the same block. They contrive to install this regime they are contriving to take out. We are just puns in their political chess game.

I will vote for Sowore. I promise.

This is something we already know...
And if Sowore wins, even a blind man would see Nigeria would be on a path to reformation.

But unfortunately, and sadly Nigerians want PDP and PDP's baggage in the Name of Atiku and Obi.

Ask me how?
Firstly analyse the team Sowore would compose as ministers, it would be highly youthful and technocratic as the man would scout globally for material especially since he has no political baggage, the whole political atmosphere would be disrupted... fresh air for real.

Then Analyse Atiku and Obi' s team, another PDP influenced team of macro politicians, of which very few would be capable... another era of Nigerian business as usual.

Like I said, something we already know, but ... sighs...
A sad case.
