Buhari's "70%" Approval Rating: Who Are They Trying To Deceive? by Nobody: 2:49pm On Jul 15, 2015 |
Nothing can be funnier than waking up to read a news that gave a distinctive pass mark to a government that is yet to put anything on ground. First it was Lai Muhammed that came on air to tell whoever cared to listen that Buhari's achievement in TWO weeks has eclipsed that of his predecessor Dr Ebele Jonathan. Today, came NOI poll giving Buhari 70% pass mark. According to the report, "Respondents mentioned reasons for approving the President’s performance after 30 days in office, stating that security has improved (20 per cent), he has good intentions and he is good so far (16 per cent), and stability of electricity (15 percent) among other". I don't know whether to laugh but I think we should analyse this together. 1. Security Has Improved(20%): Which country's security improved? Between the period in question (May 29-June 30), Boko Haram strucked Nigeria's North East 17 times, killing OVER 500 Nigerians in the process with thousands displaced. No single bomb has been thrown at BH terrorists by Nigeria forces since Buhari came onboard. Buhari inherited a motivated military that had so much success against Boko Haram terrorists between February and May 28 this year. In fact, the failure of Buhari against BH insurgency was corroborated by CNN in their July 14 publication. According to CNN "Earlier this year, the Nigerian military launched a major offensive and recaptured much of the territory it had lost to Boko Haram. But in the last six weeks, over 500 people have been killed in attacks across the northeast of the country." Which security did they say Buhari improved? We are all aware that the Army under Muhammadu Buhari is yet to kill any Boko terrorist. Is it the security of the terrorists? I will not be surprise if another poll score the President 80% in improved security for July 2015 despite repeated Boko haram attack. 2. "Good Intentions and He is Good So Far"(16 per cent): How did they measure the intention of the President? I have flipped through the needs of Nigerians and the promises of APC, I couldn't find "Good Intention" as part of our needs. I am equally much confused on "He's Good So Far". Good in what sense? I think these people were out to insult us. This is ridiculous. 3. Stability of Electricity(15%): Like I said in one of my article "though some areas have seen improved power, many other areas are experiencing difficult times when it comes to power." Some areas have experienced downward fortune with respect to electricity since May 29. I beg to ask "How many megawatt of electricity has the Buhari administration added since May 29?" It is even pathetic that No new policy on electricity has been initiated nor implemented by the buhari administration. So what are we saying? It will be safe to conclude that the respondents of that poll(if any was even conducted) were members of Buhari family, APC Chieftains and staffs of Aso rock. The poll is an insult to Nigerians especially to the victims of Boko haram terrorism. It doesn't matter whether the "poll" was conducted by NOI poll or Aisha's poll, it is nothing but a sham and a mere wish of the organisers and the Buhari administration.

Sadly I believe the polls. This is not because it's a true reflection of his performance. To be fair, if you observe most government all over the world, you will discover they tends to have a very high polls scoring rate the first few months into their administration. This is called a honey moon period for a reason. Any judgement of buhari's leadership this early, will always be off the mark (good or bad). Let's wait a while before cutting his throat. 16 Likes |

3. Stability of Electricity(15%): In all honesty, my area happens to be among those who have seen a fine raise in power supply. Both Work and Home. However, what we don't know is if this is equally an offshoot of the GEJ legacy, because so far so good, I do not recall seeing a publication detailing Buhari's strides on formulating robust Energy Distribution Policies. The increased reserves should also count for something, but folks in some quarters are saying it's because he hasn't spent money on anything "meaningful and impactful".... Asides what I've detailed above, any other achievement being listed based on some huff-puff ghost statistics is what it is at best, and should be regarded as such...."HOGWASH!" Talk of a government grappling at straws to save face. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

There are two Nigerias as we speak. The APC's virtual one and the real one people like me live in. I'm happy nations are never built by good intentions. Even the way to hell is paved with good iintentions. No amount of propaganda and lies shall deceive the smart ones. To be deceived is now a choice. Over 660 souls have been murdered by the misguided brothers of Grandpa. I've been enjoying appreciable level of power even before the elections. Bro, that rating na fraud. For every lie, there shall be the revealer of it. Thanks bro. 17 Likes 4 Shares |

Well, quite a lot of Nigerians are simple, gullible and easy to please. Just give us a little over 10 hours of electricity and we think all is well, when in advanced country, interruption in electricity supply for 30 minutes will be headline news because it is a gross rarity. It's not far fetched since poverty is so etched into some people they think it's the normal way to live. In the face of gross insecurity everywhere, queues in our filling stations, daily plunging of dollar, euro and BP, acute starvation, just to mention but a few, we keep deluding ourselves that all is well just to avoid facing the reality staring us in the face that we live in a failed state. Anyway, time will tell and hopefully, it wont be too long.. Sai Nigeria 2 Likes |

Buhari! The man of the moment. A selfless patriot of no equal. I'm sure by now Buhari has found that Nigeria and Nigerians are more rotten than he hitherto thought. My greatest surprise is that those who were most reluctant to change are now crying like starved babies about what needs to be fixed in the country. 15 Likes |

1)Former Power Minister said that Buhari simply needs to sort out the problem of vandalism vis a vis gas supply to power generating stations and Nigeria will have an almost regular power supply noting the level of work done already by Jonathan in both power generation, power transmission(not privates but has world-class private managers), and power distribution... 2)Seasonal influence: We are in the rainy season...hence the probability of improved generation is high given high tides thanks to rising water level... 4 Likes |
