How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

DAILY POST recalls that the Gross Domestic Product, GDP figure in 2015 was $492,437 million which made Nigeria the number 24 in the ranking of GDP of the 196 countries in the world according to the world bank.

Following the current outcry from Nigerians over the hike in prices of commodities, the cost of living in Nigeria prior to the 2015 general elections can be referred to as moderate as a dollar was exchanged for ₦187.952 contrary to the current ₦412.4 to a dollar.

Expectations of the electorates hit the rock when insecurity began to deteriorate despite the campaign promises. It can be recalled that banditry was very unpopular prior to the emergence of the current government.

Also, the activities of Fulani herdsmen which has resorted to killings across the country was at its minimal.

Recall that the Nigerian National Bureau of Statistics said in 2020 that 40% or 83 million Nigerians live in poverty. Although Nigeria’s poverty profile for 2021 has not yet been released, it is estimated that the number of poor people will increase to 90 million, or 45% of the population, in 2022.

The country is currently facing its worst security crisis following the havoc been wreaked across the country by terrorist groups, bandits, herdsmen and other criminal elements.

God1000:
This clown is at it again with his outrageous utterances, republicans are not serious about winning 2024 presidential election, they should have picked another person with good records instead of this lunatic


I'm not a fan of Biden, but he will defeat Donald trump who has a lot of criminal records and with the possibility of going to prison soon.

Demagogue using the same old strategy

SatoshiX:
Despite all their noise of being different, why are LP legislators receiving this jumbo pay? One would have thought they'll be rejecting it while championing a bill to reduce it. Even non of them could reveal their paycheck Talk about hypocrites. The Ireti in Abuja has not sponsored a single bill since she got elected. Instead she was busy flexing muscles with Wike that's far ahead of her.
As useless as the PDP might have become, they're still the only party making some opposition noise in the house. Except for that old man from Delta.

DMerciful:
Tinubu is continuing the borrowing spree of Buhari while deceiving agbados that money is being saved from subsidy removal when in actual fact, he is paying more subsidy.

APC has no capacity to create wealth.

Tinubu administration's failure is inevitable!
He lacks the integrity, character, competence, legitimacy and discipline to manage resources and to move Nigeria forward.

He await 2027! Another wasted 4yrs!

Two women beat man to death after he refused to have party in cemetery

Two women have been detained in Russia on suspicion of the brutal beating and killing of a man after he refused their request for a party in a cemetery.

The women, Rosa, 29 and Martha, 37, were drinking with 63-year-old Alexander in a churchyard in Stavropol, a city in southwestern Russia. Local reports state that the female friends are accused of unleashing a series of kicks and punches on the man after he refused to have sex with them.

A report citing local police stated they beat him to death in a forest before hiding the body in a hole. The report stated: "They dragged the body into the forest and hid it in a hole." The body was subsequently found and the women detained with a murder case opened. Footage shows one of the women being escorted to the alleged forest crime scene by officers from Russia’s Investigative Committee, who are seen carrying a dummy before laying it in a patch of grass on the forest floor. One of the women is then seen placing her feet on the dummy's torso.

In a statement, the committee said the victim, who was known to both women, was subject to a vicious attack in which they rained down a series of blows with their "fists and feet", hitting his head and torso, before he died on the scene. They said: "In the course of an argument, the women gave the 63-year-old man multiple blows with their fists and feet to his head and torso."

"The victim died at the scene as a result of his injuries. Wishing to avoid responsibility for the offence, the accused dragged the body of the deceased to a wooded area and hid it in a hole." The two women were remanded in custody for two months over the death of the 63-year-old in the cemetery.

Stavropol is several hundred east of Russian-occupied Crimea and was recently the site of what Ukraine claims was a successful drone attack on a Russian aircraft. In April, Ukrainian officials claimed to have shot down a Tu-22M3, a long-range Russian strategic bomber carrying cruise missiles, causing it to crash into the area. But Russian officials told local publication RIA Novosti the incident resulted from a technical hitch.

GerogeI:


I do not know why, but people always make the mistake of comparing currencies directly. You simply can't.

Your rent in UK might be 1000 GBPs, but you earn on average 3000 pounds per month, meaning you rent is 30% of your earning.

Back here, your average monthly rent will be N200k say you work in VI, and live in Ajah, your salary averages N500k per month, your rent is roughly 40%

Meaning, neither place is better off. The only time you gain from relocation is whatever little savings you make, and decide to invest back home. Whenever you invest back home you take advantage of a colonial economic barrier created by first would countries, through IMF manipulating our usually economic illiterate leaders into thinking there is a fair market value for paper currencies without intrinsic value.

This barrier only serves to create a filtration of best trained workforce from your country to theirs. Cheapen your raw materials, and exclude your local population from international business dominance, innovation and and new product development. You average citizen cannot even afford a local flight, talkless of your SMEs, Academics, and Youths traveling around to learn new things, attend conferences, and trade fares, or bid and compete for opportunities that will add value to your economy. Your country is essentially existing in its local bubble, and not an economic threat to the West or OECD.

So any leader, like Buhari and Tinubu, that deliberately devalues her countries currency has been grossly foolled, and has questionable intellectual capacity. You do not deal with rising forex demand by devaluation, rather by import restriction, and import substitution. You do not measure you economic progress by forex earning, but by real production in your economy.

Rather than give workers higher minimum wage, it's better to revalue your currency ( whesther by redenominating, fixing rates or gold backing) to be within same nominal value as major currencies, and ban import of anything that is being produced locally, or unnecessary luxury consumables such as branded chocolates, clothes, cookies. Focus your import on tools, Machinery and advanced technical materials that are not available locally.

The worst thing that can happen to an economy is the loss of the cream of her work force, and the isolation of her business internationally, and these are the real goals of IMF currency devaluation.

SpecialAdviser:
Useless BATerians that supported this evil government even hailing the drug lord when he visited UK should return back to Nigeria.

People running away from their country and supporting the perpetuation of evil.

There is enough accommodation at Obalende under bridge.

God bless Obidients all over the world.
