I voted GMB and campaign for his victory, I have no atom of regret about my action. So for those of you who think by doing ntor every now and then because of the situation of the country, that you have achieved a milestone, no! You have no justification, your hero put us in the dungeon of recession with his reckless ineptitude, my candidate is only clueless for now on getting us out. If we are still faced with the 2 wrong choices of PMB and GEJ come 2019, I won’t hesitate to repeat my choice.
The major problem of this GMB/APC economic failure, is their over reliance on crude oil. Their entire economic blueprint is latched on hope! The hope that crude oil prices will rise, and things will gradually return to normal with prudent spending. In economics prudence is a virtue not a plan. PMB please what is the plan out of recession? Spare me the agony of learning about your fight with ghosts they call workers. Concrete plans please!
Let me lend you a plan from my rudimentary understanding of economics. If I am in your shoes, I will dedicate 10% of my budget to agriculture, another 10% on infrastructure, power in particular. Reduce tax and tariffs on agricultural and power equipment/machinery to 5% or less. Nigerians will work and fend for themselves, hunger will be reduced it is only money we won’t have for frivolity. But now, no money; no food; no hope!
Social mobilisation and re-engineering is the weakest part of this current PMB administration, and it stems from the President’s perceived lacklustre and conservative sociocultural upbringing. For instance what stops PMB from celebrating Xmas with Rochas in Imo? Surprise Wike in PH on Boxing Day, and publicly throw a coin between Ayade and Ambode where you will count down into the New Year. But no, all the octogenarian and other bootlickers surrounding him will not allow him to think. We need a young, vibrant, virile leader going forward that can engender unity by social participation and mobilisation.
On the issue of the Niger Delta, I think going forward all presidential candidates should be required by law to attend the debate prior to election, and the Niger Delta question should be the very first. The Niger Delta today is part of the reason this recession will linger longer than anticipated.
If I am the President, I will set up a joint action committee presided over by UN organs like UNESCO, and UNICEF, with FG, SG, and Niger Delta elected Representatives, OICs and some high profile ND traditional rulers. Their task- to manage 25% of all FG stake in all Oil Leasing Licences which will be dedicated to the development of the Niger Delta child and environment. I will revoke, cancel, all other ND agencies like nddc, amnesty, and derivation fund which the ND bigwigs have stolen into private pockets.
The next major question is the Biafra Question! Can we have a referendum please? With the result of the referendum subject to parliamentary ratification. But today, offer the Igbo nation the Presidency or an Exit, majority will choose the former. If PMB does not understand the Igbo Nation let him go and read Chinua Achebe’s books, he will learn that there is a Chi for every Igbo man. The Chi of Nnamdi Kanu is not the same with that of Odumegwu Ojukwu. Kanu is not a problem but the symptom of a bigger problem. Address the bigger problem and Kanu will cease to be relevant! The Igbo deserve a better deal, and perhaps a unifying Chi
