THE GUARDIAN TODAY!
Promoting democracy that others be allowed to hold convention in an
atmosphere of peace and tranquility without interferences. Few days ago we read
of a parallel PDP convention slated for Abuja for Saturday 21st May,
instant being spear-headed by Professor Jerry Gana, a man of letters who
appears to be mis-leading some members of his party to break away. Their grouse
is they do not want Ali Sheriff to steer the ship. Surprisingly they have not
said who they prefer just to scatter? Oh No! Should call off that parallel Abuja
convention for tomorrow now!
In 2003, 2007 and 2011 Buhari had contested elections, lost
and then broke down man in his 70’s wept
in front of the public. We thought it was an act of statesmanship that he was being denied opportunity to serve
his Motherland. Unknown to us he was weeping because he was being stopped from
presidening over our Oil wealth. How 90% of the Oil blocs in the backyard of
Niger Delta found its way into the hands of Emir Sanusi’s cousin, and others
with retired Generals TY Danjuma, Abdul-Salami, Abacha, IBB, etc. Buhari’s
first task was to approve dozens of Oil licenses alone within weeks of his assumption
last year.
Since PMB had been in the
saddle our “gross domestic product (GDP) which
measures the worth of economic activities, crashed to its lowest since
1991 in the first quarter of 2016. According to the GDP report
released by the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics on Friday, the country’s economy
crashed to a 25-year low of -0.36 percent.
NBS says Q1 GDP declined to
-0.36 percent from 2.11 percent in Q4 2015 and 3.96 percent in Q1 2015.” Click https://www.thecable.ng/just-nigerias-gdp-crashes-25-year-low
Galloping inflation like
never before a bag of rice was N10,000 in Dec 2015 today it is being sold at
N20,000 (Twenty thousand naira) per bag!
Galloping fuel price like
never before from N86/litre Whop to N145/L
Galloping national gender
policy from 35% to 12% under PMB
Galloping Naira exchange
rate like never before now selling at N345/$1
Galloping electoral system–INEC’s
inconclusive polls scuttles democracy
Buhari’s Galloping regime has failed the
Nation and worse still he is refusing to listen to OBJ or anybody knowledgeable
on the economy, he won’t implement Obasanjo’s blueprint yet OBJ helped him get
elected!
