This is blowing up. Massive APC interest too. A lot of amusing insults. Lol.
Here’s my answer. It’s a long one.
Not one of you gets that if Tinubu were 1/10th who you claim he was, and half as interested in fixing anything, the ₦ will be on the mend after Buhari. Instead everything is going downhill.
None of you gets that nothing in this man’s actions, as the occupier of Aso Rock, bears any resemblance to what you say about him.
Assuming you’re a true believer, you should pause and think. You’ve been sold a dud. That’s the point of the tweet.
Maybe you don’t care. Seems that way.
I mean, on the first day, the man blurted out, totally unscripted, “Subsidy is gone!”
Who in their right minds would do that?
You that is defending him, would you do something so far-reaching off the cuff? No plans! Nothing!
No won’t. Admit it. You won’t d!e.
For the period that “subsidy was gone”, where are the savings?
Have you for one second thought that the “savings” is the much more you as a person is paying for fuel? It’s unaccounted for, but you’re fine with it? Oh I’m sorry, it went to SUV’s, yatchs and other “essentials”. Nearly forgot.
We all know that subsidy is back. But you know what hasn’t gone back to what it was? Yes, you do! The price of everything.
The pain of “subsidy is gone” was all for nothing. And the pain is ongoing and accelerating. Ongoing… damn it!
And for what? To remove subsidy that remains unremoved. All pain, no gain! This kind of genius!
The genius sees the wreckage he made and what does he do? He dipped his hands in the treasury and paid ₦24bn for pilgrimage as if he was buying akara from Mama Iyabo. Yet the ₦5bn he claimed he was giving students for scholarships is tied up in knotty conditions that literally no one that needs it can access. It’s not even been disbursed as far as I know. And you don’t see a man that doesn’t understand or doesn’t care about what drives a nation’s prosperity?
You want me to discount the evidence of my eyes in favour of your fairytales about taming the Atlantic and other stories.
Terrible as Buhari was, would things be this bad?
In fact, the destructive nepotism that was a stand out feature of the Buhari presidency has been ratcheted up a notch by this man who cares only for how much he can squeeze out of the people in large scale schemes. Schemes some of you are celebrating under this tweet and quotes as achievements. Unbelievable!
Only a day ago he made his son-in-law MD Federal Housing Authority and today has wired ₦126bn to the agency. Instead of being scandalised, you’re instead pained that I said that without the resurgent Obasanjo economy, his lack of depth would have been exposed much sooner. Really? That’s what galls you? Na wah!
His actions and inactions since May 2023 are decidedly deadly to a healthy nation, how much more, one brought to its knees by Buhari whom all of you were fawning over until he left office. He was “Sai Baba” until the very end. Then you suddenly realised that he wrecked the economy. So you guys are capable of recognising a wrecked economy? You dunminit!
One would have thought that the desperation to grab power whether he was voted or not, meant that he had a clue. But he doesn’t, does he?
The man is either completely out of his depth or doesn’t care about anything outside his self-interest.
I choose the latter, I think your guy is the proverbial man who will burn down his country if he had to rule over its ashes. Nothing is off limits.
Be afraid.
Be very afraid.
But would you? No you won’t. You still think it’s me against you. That’s the tragedy.
It was Obasanjo’s economy that shielded Tinubu as governor, prove me wrong.
