How can the Vice President of the federal Republic of Nigeria be making such pedestrian comments when he is the second in command.I am yet to understand.
What can he now do , when he has just 2 years left of the tenure.The only option I think should be to let the nation to know your stand for the sake of your integrity.
Has he been sleeping for the past 5 years and now realizing and waking up!!.
Good morning sir .
I thought that you are the second in command and the second strongest person in Nigeria?Sorry sir,I am now losing my thoughts, may be because of age.
We do not need our leaders echoing the obvious sir,we are in dare need of solutions sir.
What about the 100 million Nigerians you lifted out of poverty.I don’t understand sir.
Since we are 200 million,I should rather be saying congratulations sir.You have tried sir.
One 100 million are now poor, with more 5k distribution between now and December, you will be lifting the remaining 100 million and possibly more, and Nigeria will be free from poverty sir.Don’t lose hope sir .
If 5k cannot do it, you can reduce it to 2k ,half bread is better than nothing.
It is shocking that the cash handout to possibly 99% of those who voted you into power, according to your principal could not solve the issue of poverty in the country.
Wow, wow wow,I am very sorry sir.
It is really very shocking.
I hope that your followers who are in support of tokenist economic measures, will now lend from the 5k to their friends and relations.The problem would have been solved before the expiration of your tenure sir .
I hope that it makes sense sir.
But I want to tell you sir , since you have just woken up that poverty has not just deepened in Nigeria,it is now resident here. I am saying this , because I know that in our nation resignation as a result of incompetence is never in the card or on the table of our political class.
Nigeria is rich and wealthy sir,but the majority of Nigerians that are tagged poor, are those yet to have access to the national cake or had access to looting public funds.
I may be surprised,if you are telling us that you don’t know.
I know you may not be part of those looters after the expiration of your tenure because your pulpit is still waiting for you. But your message of resignation as a result of failure in government should have converted many and resonated better sir.
In conclusion sir,tell me any country where an ex-public office holder will publicly declare himself richer than the state.
My fear is that we may have many of them after the expiration of this government.
But for what I know about you through a close friend many years ago,I am convinced that you will not be richer than Nigeria when you leave office.That is my comfort and consolation.
