"Just read president Buhari's Democracy day speech and all I can do is to shake my head as his Speech is stuffed with lies.
1. He said Boko Haram was in charge of 14 LGAs when he took over as President. The reality is that the army had recovered most LGAs by May ending, 2015
2. He also mentioned that Infrastructure was in a state of decay including rail. One thing we know is that the GEJ's administration revived rails.
3. Buhari said his government has reduced extravagant spending. Do I need to remind him that the budget for Presidency is N20 billion more than that for 2015? How's that reducing spending?
4. Also, he mentioned that Capital expenditure in the 2016 budget is 30%. I can't really blame him on this because we know he is not mathematically sound. The is fact, capital expenditure is N1.59 trillion of total of N6.06 trillion which equals 26.2%.
5. The most annoying one is the one he said the budget process is more transparent than ever. I need to remind him that the details of the budget were revealed by BudgIT. The budget was only published after agitations from Nigerians.
Do we also remind him that the budget has different versions? Went missing at some point and was disowned? How's that transparency??
6. He said his government has delivered significant milestones on security, economy and security. Well, the indices show otherwise.
7. Another nauseating one is when he said his government is committed to democratic principles. Is this not the same administration that has continued to disregard court orders? Or same one that has changed INEC to an Inconclusive commission?
8. He failed to criticize the activities of Fulani herdsmen or commiserate with the bereaved but was quick to call out the Niger Delta Avengers. Interesting
Finally, I was looking out for the names of looters that President Buhari without anyone asking him said he would release on democracy day. We, seems like all his other promises, he broke this one too.
No integrity. This APC and Buhari administration don't surprise me anymore..."
