Dear Compatriots:
LD: NO BE TRUE. COMPATRIOTS IN
WHAT EXACTLY
1.
Four years ago,
precisely September 18, 2010; I stood in this Eagle Square, to offer myself for
election as the President of our beloved country on the platform of our great
party; the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
LIE DETECTOR: TRUTH
2.
Seven months
after that declaration, you elected me to lead this country with overwhelming
support from all parts of our Nation. I remain grateful for the trust you
reposed in me to lead our Nation through uncommon challenges in our march of
progress as a united and democratic country.
LIE DETECTOR: HALF TRUTH; WE
RIGGED YOU INTO POWER
3.
Over the years,
the Almighty God has made it possible for me to develop a bond with you and I
am grateful for your support and understanding in the difficult periods we have
journeyed through.
LIE DETECTOR: HABA: BOND HAS WEAKENED
4.
Distinguished
ladies and gentlemen, our stewardship has not been without challenges. We have
had to deal with the wave of insurgency that has swept through some parts of
our dear country. Only yesterday, Government Science Secondary School in
YobeState was bombed by insurgents, killing our promising young children who
were seeking education to build the country and support their parents. Many
Nigerians have lost their lives and property to these mindless killings. Let me
crave the indulgence of all present here to stand up to observe a minutes
silence in honour of these young lads who lost their lives. Clearly, this has
cast a dark cloud on our Nation but we will surely win the war against terror.
A number of young men and women have been kidnapped by these criminal elements
including our daughters from Chibok. We will free our daughters and defeat
terrorism.
LIE DETECTOR: NO BE TRUE; YOU HAVE NO CLUES HOW TO STOP BOKO HARAM AND U DON’T
CARE HOW MANY CHILDREN DIE AS LONG AS U REMAIN IN POWER.
5.
We are
equipping the armed forces and deploying special forces to engage the terrorist
and end this senseless war. We must protect our country. We must save our
people. I will do everything humanly possible to end this criminal violence in
our Nation.
LIE
DETECTOR: KPUN DUM
6.
To ensure the
long term stability and development of the affected areas, government has
launched three programmes: The Presidential Initiative for the North East,
the Victim Support Fund and the Safe School Initiative. The
Presidential Initiative for the Northeastis focused on improving
infrastructure and economic growth in the region. The Safe School Initiative
is centred on creating a safe environment to encourage our children in the
communities to acquire education. The Victim Support Fund, a partnership
with the Private Sector, has raised about 60 billion Naira, which will help to
empower and rehabilitate victims of terror. I promise the victims of these
dastardly acts that we will continue to stand with you.
LIE DETECTOR: NA WAH O
7.
I am grateful
to all Nigerians for standing with me.
LIE
DETECTOR: FOR WHERE ; NO ONE IS STANDING WITH YOU. YOU ARE ALONE: OYO
8.
Let me also
thank the leaders and elders of our great party, the Peoples Democratic Party,
for the opportunity you have given to me to serve our country, Nigeria.
LD: TRUTH: BUT THE ELDERS HAVE ALL LEFT THE PARTY
9.
I am
overwhelmed by the trust, confidence and support of the various organs of our
party, the Board of Trustees, the National Caucus, the National Executive
Committee, the National Working Committee, the PDP Governors Forum, members of
the PDPCaucuses of the National Assembly, and others.
LD:HABA U KNOW THEY ARE ONLY AFTER THE MONEY
10.
This day
affords me the opportunity to continue the conversation of development we
started together.
LD: TRUTH: TALK IS CHEAP
11.
Infrastructure
has been a major focus area of my administrationand so, we pursued the power
sector reform to this point of irreversible progress. Nigeria has undertaken a
most transparent and corruption free bidding process, attracting global
commendation. The on-going 450MW Azura Power Plant in Edo State is a testimony
to the success of this transformation.
LD: LIES NO BE TRUE ; POWER HAS HAS FAILED COMPLETELY IN MOST PART OF
NIGERIA TODAY.
12.
We have also
resumed development of our Hydro-Power potential, with the construction of the 700MW
Zungeru Hydro-Power Plant, while construction work on the 3,050MW
Mambilla Hydro-Power Plant is about to take off.
LD: NO BE TRUE THE SAME TALK.
13.
Our power
generation and distribution companies have now been privatized. We are firmly
on the road to guaranteed regular power supply in the months ahead. This our
bold move, is paying off!
LD: LNO BE TRUE GUY.FOR WHERE? WHICH TOWN? WHICH STATE?
14.
We are
committed to environmental protection and conservation and reducing
vulnerability to climate change. In this regard, we have embarked on a number
of projects across the country. Of particular note is the AfricanGreat Green
Wall Programmed, where we have released about 16 billionnaira for
implementation. The project will create a green belt across 11 states from
Kebbi to Borno.
LD: YOU SURE ; YOU NEVER BEGIN CRAWL U DEY TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE.
OUR CLIMATE HAS ALREADY CHANGED. FORGET THAT ONE.
15.
In the past
three and half years, the water sector has witnessed unprecedented
improvement. Access to potable water is now 67%, up from 58% in 2010,
while sanitation coverage is 41%, from 32% within the same period.
LD:NA WAH FOR WAEC O. NO PORTABLE WATER
IN VILLAGES ONLY FAILED BOREHOLES.
16.
Major
developments in water include the completion of 37 Dams and rehabilitation of
10, with several others on-going construction. The flagship Kashimbila
Multipurpose Dam which is being built to contain flood from Lake Nyos, is now
at 90% completion. We have also completed about 5,000 rural and semi urban
water schemes.
LD: NA FOR PAPER ONLY
17.
We are
reforming the National Urban Water supply programmes in 12 states, with 385
formal and informal irrigation projects, covering a total land area of 118000
ha, cultivated mostly by small holder farmers. This has yielded over 3 million
metric tons of assorted grains and vegetables, with a market value of about
45billion naira.
LDGIST
18.
Before the
advent of this administration, the Railway system was practically dead. Today,
we have revived the rail sector. The narrow gauge line from Lagos to Kano
has been rehabilitated with improved coaches providing regular services. The
rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt-Maidugurirail line is progressing
with the Port Harcourt-Gombe segment as well as the branch line from Kafanchan
to Kaduna expected to be completed and fully operational by December 2014.
LD: LAUGHABLE, NO BE THIS RAILWAY WEY PASS ABA AND ENUGU YOU
DEY TALK.
19.
Already, work
on the Abuja-Kaduna standard gauge rail line, is progressing. The tracks
of the rail line will be completed by December this year 2014. Upon completion
of the project in the first quarter of 2015, itwill be possible for Nigerians
to live in Kaduna and work in Abuja. The Itape-Ajaokuta-Wari standard
gauge line has attained an advanced stage, with the track completely laid. We
hope to commence full operation before the end of 2015.
LD:; IT WOULD BE NICE FOR YOU TO LIVE IN OTUOKE AND WORK IN
ABUJA.
20.
Other segments
of the new standard gauge speed train network are planned with contract already
awarded for the Lagos –Ibadan Segment. There will be more of such modern
and faster rail connections in the coming years. Already, discussions are now
at advanced stage, for the Coastal rail line that will traverse through 10
states, from Lagos through the South-Southand South-East, all the way to
Calabar.
LD: EVEN U KNOW SAY NO BE TRUE U TALK. SOUTH EAST WEY U ADD NA FOR MOUTH.
21.
My
administration has successfully completed the dredging of the lower River Niger
from Baro in Niger State to Warriin in Delta State. The cheering news is that
over 6.7 million passengers and over 1.6 million tonnes of cargo have
been moved through this channel in less than three years.
LD: ; WHICH ROUTE THEY FOLLOW. WHY ONITSHA SEAPORT NEVER BEGIN
FUNCTION NOW.
22.
I am happy to
also report that our ports now operate 24 hour service, which has led to the
reduction of clearing time and improved efficiency.
LD: NA WAH
23.
When I assumed
office in 2010, out of the 35,000km of federal roads nationwide, only about
5,000km were motorable. Today, that number has increased to about 25,000km. We
expect to complete the remaining 10,000kmin three years while initiating new
ones.
LD: NA KPUM ONLY ON PAPER
24.
I made a
commitment to build two new major bridges across the River Niger and River
Benue. Today, the new bridge over the River Benue, connecting Loko in Nassarawa
State to Oweto in Benue State has reached an advance stage of completion, while
work has commenced on the Second Niger Bridge.
LD: PARTIAL TRUTH: WHICH OTHER PROJECT DID U SITE IN THE EAST.
25.
Beyond these,
my administration has concluded plans to re-commence the construction of Bodo-Bonny
Road with three major bridges on the alignment that will link the Island of
Bonny with Rivers mainland.
LD: HE IS TRYING TO CONFUSE
THE LIE DETECTOR. WHAT WAS THAT?
26.
Preliminary
works have started on my administration’s planned re-construction and expansion
of the MurtalaMuhammed International Airport Road in Lagos to a world
class entry point into our country. Only a few months ago, work started on the
dualization of Kano-Katsina Road. While many Nigerians are celebrating
the marked improvements on our roads, I want to assure that it will get even
better as we move forward.
LD: PARTIAL TRUTH
27.
In the pursuit
of an integrated transportation system, we embarked on the construction of five
new Airport Terminal Buildings and Air-field facilities. We are
alsore-constructing existing ones.The re-construction upon completion, will
lead to improved passenger processing, increased cargo handling capacity and
enhancedAir-field facilities that meet international standard and improves
safety. These efforts have been met with global acknowledgement including the
attainment and retention of the FAA Category One status.
LD: ONLY ON PAPER
28.
In housing, we
signed the National Housing Policy to kick-start the framework for
providing more affordable homes for our people. We have also expanded the National
Housing Fund to accommodate more Nigerians. We have started a revolution in
the housing sector with the start of theNigerianMortgage and Refinanced
Company(NMRC) a new initiative of my administration, that will enable more
citizens in the lower income bracket to become first time home owners
LON PAPER ONLY
29. Our partners
such as the World Bank group are supporting this with US300million dollars
interest free credit, while my administration will back it with over 100billion
naira in bonds. We are already processing 66,000 mortgage applications for our
young people. We have amended the PENCOM Act to enable thepension funds invest
inhousing sector bonds. This will create a boom in the housing sector.
30. In the Federal
Capital Territory, we are rapidly building a befitting National Capital by
expanding and providing new infrastructure, developing ten new districts and
Satellite Towns to cater for the ever increasing population. In no distant
future, you will be able to arrive at the NnamdiAzikiwe International Airport
and proceed to the city using the Abuja Light Rail. In addition to providing
durable health, educational and transportation services, we are also
collaborating with Organized Labour to build functional, affordable and social
housing in Abuja.
LWHAT IS THIS
TALK ABOUT WHAT WE WILL ENJOY IN THE FUTURE. AS YOU AND UR WIFE ARE ENJOYING
HOTELS AND MANSIONS IN OTUOKE NOW AND NOT WAITING FOR THE FUTURE.
