2019 General Elections : Analyzing President Buhari’s Three Years Achievement and Atiku Abubakar’s 8 years achievement in Office







By Osho Oluwatosin

The 2019 general elections of Nigeria is just few weeks away and the pressure In the atmosphere has been intense. We have seen a lot of propaganda flying around the social media space, whatsapp and all that on why one shouldn’t vote a particular candidate and another should be chosen over another, most of all, it has been between the All Progressives Congress Candidate, President Muhammdu Buhari and the candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Alh. Abubakar Atiku.

A lot of people have been thrown into confusion and don’t even know what the truth is again because of the materials flying around of  which most of it are false.


However, there is need to take a good look at the achievements of both candidates as at the period they were in office under the civilian government.

It will also be noted that President Buhari  has only spent three and half years in power while Alh. Atiku Abubakar spend 8 years as vice-president while in power.

Below are just few of President Buhari led administration

1 President Buhari initiated the Home Grown Feeding Programme which is designed to put an end to importation and market monopoly of farm produce that can be grown here in our country which is a pilot vehicle to sustainable economic, agricultural, academic and job creation across the length and breadth of our nation.

2  Right from the moment he won the Presidential Election in 2015, the impression of the President as a ‘‘no nonsense and incorruptible leader’’ sent a signal to looters of public funds, with many of them returning funds that had been stolen under the previous administration.

3  Implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) has provided greater visibility of government revenues and cash flows. Between June 2015 and April 2016, the Federal Government TSA collection clocked N3trillion.




4 Enforcement of the Bank Verification Number: Also the BVN has ensured that the menace of “ghost workers” are being identified and dealt with, while looters with multiple accounts can no longer hide their loot undetected.



5 The Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI) has been able to create 60,000 direct jobs and even a higher number of indirect jobs under the Buhari-led administration.

6 Under President Buhari, the Federal Government agreed to a 50 million Euro (about N11.15 billion) loan agreement with French government for capacity-building and upgrade of power training facilities in Nigeria.



7 Presidential approval for the Implementation of United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) report 2010 for the clean-up of Ogoniland with regards to oil pollution and inclusion of stakeholders in the process of implementation.



8 Nigeria’s economy has since bounced back after the recession of 2015/2016 and has continued to grow back as the strongest stabilizing economy in Africa under Buhari-led administration.

9 The PMB Administration has assessed the status of infrastructure in all the 12 River Basin Development Authorities (RBDAs) hence, commenced immediate and effective use of the facilities for commercial farming.

10  President Buhari strongly supported the emergence of a Nigerian, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, as President of the Africa Development Bank

On the other hand, Below are achievements of Alh. Atiku Abubakar for 8 years as Vice-President

1 He presided over the National Council on Privatization

2 Atiku launched the South Africa Nigeria Bi-national Commission

3 He opposed the constitution amendment for third consecutive term for presidency

4 Atiku believes that education should be a priority

5 He is a philanthropist interested in human capital development

6 He bagged a chieftaincy title

7 The Atiku Abubakar Foundation for the less privilege

8 Abuja Master Plan Reform 

9 Debt Removal 

10 Telecommunication Reforms



JUDGEMENT

Taking a good look at these, both of them should be applauded because they both did well, at least for the country because its all for the development of Nigeria and that should be the main goal of any leader.

However, President Buhari’s achievements in just three years can be said to surpass the achievements of Former VP, Atiku Abubakar in a whooping 8 years.

Hence, President Buhari should be given back the mandate to move Nigeria forward.

PLEASE NOTE : This isn’t propaganda in any way but the thoughts of a concerned Nigeria who believes in good governance

Re: THE QUEST FOR PEACE IN IDUMUJE-UGBOKO, MY PERSPECTIVE By Dr. Gabriel Ifeanyi Ogbechie.

Our attention has been drawn to a publication, here-above referred, by Gabriel Ifeanyi Ogbechie published in Vanguard online of May 21, 2020. At best, his article may generously be termed his role in the Idumuje-Ugboko crisis otherwise it is a mere tale to ingratiate and celebrate himself and his perceived role in the fratricidal crisis. IS GABRIEL AN IMPARTIAL ARBITER? No question, when history opens the pages of this crisis for generations to come, they will surely squint with acute concern because Ogbechie's role will loudly be tainted with cruel miscarriage of justice. Certainly not a stainless umpire or arbiter. On the surface, the flow of his thoughts and presentation may hold the uninformed and innocent readers captive and thus persuaded to believe that Ogbechie, who also hails from our dear Idumuje-Ugboko Kingdom did not stand aloof over the three to four years of our intense crisis. Indeed, Ogbechie didn't stand aloof. He enunciated his meeting...

FUNKE ASHEKUN: THE RANTING OF A CONFUSED LOST SHEEP

  Woe unto those who think they can wake up one morning and decide to trouble the kingdom of God with unfounded and overcooked lies and lack of knowledge.  My name is Femi, and I am an investigative journalist on a mission for the kingdom. I will start with a scripture before I go into the unveiling of the moment.   Acts 3:3-4 KJV:   And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. …   THE HYPNOSIS FUNKE ASHEKUN if you are a true believer and one who understands the mystery of deliverance, you will never speak about the GOs eye contact with you as hypnosis, because its either you don’t know the level of the anointing that the GO of the church carries, or you are completely ignorant of the power within the ministry. The scripture above depicts how Peter healed the cripple at the beautiful gate by asking him to look at him, you may try to look for the meaning of the words FASTENING HIS EYES UPON HIM.   So, was it t...
