Osinbajo: How We Drafted APC Manifesto In 2014 Focusing On Social Investments by murecool(m): 2:15pm On Jan 27, 2020 |
Adds: Social safety nets not acts of sovereign kindness but sovereign obligation Convinced that government owed a duty to the poor, the weak, the vulnerable and those who cannot work, the APC in 2014 included in its manifesto a social safety initiative to specifically address poverty amongst other things, according to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. Prof. Osinbajo stated this in his remark at the 5th edition of the Airtel Touching Lives event held in Lagos at the weekend. According to the Vice President, “listening to each story of a life touched this evening must remind us of the many others who need our help, our comfort and our kindness. The poor and vulnerable always need a voice. “In 2014, Mr Wale Edun, Prof. Pat Utomi and I met at Pat’s home to write portions of the manifesto of the APC. “We all agreed that a fundamental pillar of our party’s plans must be to create a social safety net for the people. We were convinced that government owed a duty to the poor, the weak, the vulnerable and those who cannot work. Continuing Prof. Osinbajo stated that “social safety nets are not merely acts of sovereign kindness; they are a sovereign obligation - a responsibility.” Making reference to the Social Investment Programmes of the Federal Government, the Vice President said the effort of Airtel was commendable especially in complementing the work already done by government in tackling poverty. He said “today, the social safety net scheme is the fore of our Social Investment Programmes where we are feeding about 9.5 million children in public schools in 34 states across Nigeria; we are giving monthly cash to about nearly a million households as part of our conditional cash transfer scheme; we have given, as at the last count, 2.2 million loans to petty traders whose inventories are no more than N5, 000. “We have also engaged about 500, 000 young men and women, who have been unemployed (over different periods of time) under our N-Power programme. But we are still very far from touching majority of those who need help. “It is clear that to do so, we need far more resources behind that programme. This is why the work of social conscious companies like Airtel is so vital. Bridging the huge gap between what government can do and what is left to be done.” Laolu Akande Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity Office of the Vice President 27th January, 2020 3 Likes 1 Share

When I inform people that Prof Osinbajo is the most people-centric leader we have had in a long while and maybe not Since Awolowo, some persons doubt my statement. Here now we have proof that the very DNA of the APC was the social welfare of the masses. It is clearer now why the VP was very passionate about the NSIP's. 11 Likes 1 Share |

The people at the grassroots cannot deny that there has been some tangible help coming their way via the social investment programmes. They have received help without having to grovel at the feet of some looters forming benevolent. those who have been demystified are the ones vehemently against every good initiative designed to help the poor. What I have a problem with, are the dullards who expect money to be shared for doing nothing, before they will see anything good in this government. The blind minds can never be helped, it is not our fault if they choose to see only evil and darkness. 1 Like |

Clowns. Mr where were were. How they manage to set back an 7.5% growing economy to less than 3% remains a case to be studied. Instead of continuing in the path of economic liberalisation that gave us that growth, they opted for backward socialism and fascism. Masters of recession and incompetence 6 Likes |

The social investment was to woo northerners, since they like free money and poverty is on the high side over there. To win 2015 election APC needed northerners. Therefore, things must be done to make the party manifestos look friendly to them. But like "bat" we will be looking at them. 1 Like
