Even if Peter Obi is a lie, don’t you think it’s better to fall for a new lie than the same old lies and liars? If we will be wrong in 2023, we should be sincerely wrong. What will PDP (16yrs) and APC (8yrs) be promising that they haven’t promised before. Do we need additional 8 years of APC to know there is a way that seems right unto a man but the end is destruction?
Tinubu just made a promise that 25% our budget under his presidency will go to education, what a scam! How? Not a single person running with that lie have asked whether he meant -25%.
Fellow Nigerians, the times are bad, our crude has move up in price from $25 to $140 yet the the over $115 on every liter sold is making no difference because APC have borrowed our tomorrow out.
Both the IMF and the World Bank have informed us that 100% of our revenues post Buhari presidency will go into servicing our debt, because APC and the man who “lule” 3 times, that Jagaban used his political cunning craftiness to present standing had not only fallen back to his position, he has brought the country down to unprecedented debts. Austerity measure is the only promise any sincere candidate should be making to us.
The need to drastically cut down the cost of government is our reality if we hope to plug some wastages and make some savings, which we can now invest into new areas to create what will fund education and other priorities.
Truth be told, we can no longer eat our cake and have it. If you believe lies and you collect money to vote for someone promising you what you know doesn’t exist, then you are our problem.
Obi is the only candidate telling us the truth of where we are and the need for us to collectively make sacrifices to get the country out of doldrums. That is the sacrifice PDP leadership and delegates were not prepared to make. Did APC Delegates make it?
I leave you to your conscience! Be wise to vote your conscience and not their carrots. For after the carrots comes the stick. With Obi the stick comes before the carrots. Pains before the gain. May Nigeria succeed.
